Galilion Hotel and Kfar Giladi Hotel in the Upper Galilee are launching "The Wine Route," a unique vacation package that combines flavors, landscapes, history, cuisine, and rejuvenation.
Galilion Hotel and Kfar Giladi Hotel offer a unique vacation package that includes accommodation, wine tastings, culinary tours, and an introduction to the history and heritage of the Upper Galilee.
Upon arrival at the hotels, guests are welcomed with a glass of fine Galilean wine, symbolizing the region’s love for agricultural work and its local terroir.
In the evening, guests can participate in wine tastings at the hotel's wine house, where each sip reveals the story of the region.
In the morning, guests enjoy a rich Galilean breakfast that includes boutique cheeses, fresh bread, smoked fish, and local produce.
Tours take place at leading wineries:
Recanati Winery (Dalton) - A leading winery in Israel and worldwide, expressing the unique terroir of the Upper Galilee. During the tour, visitors will learn about the vineyards, the production process, and taste wines such as Carignan Wild and Marawi.
Luria Winery (at the foot of Mount Meron) - A boutique winery combining tradition with technological innovation. Its wines, such as Marselan and Sauvignon Blanc, reflect the Mediterranean character of the Galilee.
I had the privilege of being a guest on "The Wine Route" tour, and there is no doubt that it was a wonderful experience in every way.
When I told my friends and family that I was going to stay at the Galilion Hotel, everyone told me that I absolutely must – because it is a perfect hotel, with amazing food and a dreamy view.
Additionally, I had a personal desire to see if I connected with the world of wine – and the tastings during the tour certainly gave me an answer.
The experience was simply magical!
Both Galilion Hotel and Kfar Giladi Hotel are breathtakingly beautiful.
When I stayed at Galilion Hotel, I was immediately drawn into the charm of the place.
From the very first moment, the magnificent complex and the inviting atmosphere captivated me.
The elegant rooms, attention to every little detail, and the luxurious feel created an exceptional hospitality experience.
Everything was so meticulous and impressive that I couldn't stop taking pictures from every angle – at times, I felt as if I were abroad.
Beyond the scenery and luxury, what made the experience perfect was the staff.
Under the management of the charismatic and wonderful CEO, Erez Moshe, the staff demonstrated outstanding service, professionalism, and kindness that made the stay truly special.
During the tour, we visited local wineries, tasted a wide variety of wines, and in the end, I reached an amusing conclusion – I am probably not much of a wine person…
Although I was told that wine is definitely an acquired taste, so I fully intend to continue searching for the perfect wine for me!
And the scenery… No words!
The north looks like a painted postcard.
Seeing Mount Hermon, the expanses of the Galilee, and the natural beauty of the Land of Israel is a privilege, now more than ever.
I wholeheartedly recommend taking a break from routine, traveling to the north, staying in one of these luxurious hotels, and surrendering to the magic of wine, landscapes, and Galilean tranquility.
The vacation is suitable for everyone – both for those who love wine and those who don’t, for couples, families, and also for observant guests, with diverse culinary options that cater to the religious community.
This is not just a vacation – it is a unique experience that also supports tourism and the growth of the north.
