Chateau Golan Winery No votes yet

The Chateau Golan Winery is situated in the southern Golan heights and opened in 1999. The winery relies on grapes from its own vineyards which are situated above the point where the Yarmuk and Roked rivers meet. Chateau Golan combines European wine production traditions with modern knowledge and technology. Grapes are harvested early in the morning, transported immediately to the nearby winery, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel vats and on the whole commercial yeast cultures are not used. Wines are aged for between a year and a year and a half in varying sizes and shapes of oak barrels. Shortly after the wine leaves the barrels it is bottled and the wine is aged for an additional year in the bottle before being sold. Visits can be arranged with prior booking. Visitors can enjoy a guided tour which includes a description of the location and wine-making process, a visit to the wine cellar and wine tasting. Visits for up to ten people are free, visits for larger groups pay according to the cost of the wine chosen for tasting.
