We had a terrible experience here, and we recommend others to avoid the place. We were a small party. One of us ordered the tasting (which costs 45NIS, that they give back if you buy a bottle). From the onset, the attitude towards us was of "you should be thanking us for even letting you taste our wine..." We sat in the garden and asked them to replace our glass between the tastings.

Read moreI was recently in Israel with my relatives and the six of us went to Chateau Golan because of a recommendation by a friend. When we arrived we were given a tour of the winery by the owner. He explained how the wines are made and showed us the store room where they are kept. He then brought out a variety of wines for us to taste with fresh bread, cheese and fruits. By the time we were through, I was totally drunk. We did have a great time. I would highly recommend visiting this winery. We did buy several bottles of wine which we brought back with...
