Psagot Winery
Winery Tour
Psagot Winery is located near the Michmash crossing, the same place where the battle between Yonatan ben Shaul, king of Israel, and the Philistines took place.
This boutique winery, which won international awards, began with a dreamer who made a winery in the parking lot of his home. But the need for a cheap cooling place made him look for ancient caves in the area.
He found a small opening of a cave filled with dirt. After months of excavations, he discovered an ancient cave that was used as a winery 2000 years ago. In the cave, he found a coin from the time of the Great Revolt against the Romans. On the coin was an amphora, an ancient wine vessel. Jacob Berg decided it was a sign…
The winery has become one of Israel’s leading boutique wineries.
When we arrive at a boutique winery we meet the winemaker. When we taste his wine we are exposed to his soul.
The Psagot Winery trip is one of many sites that will take part in a full Tour of the Kosher wine tour.
