Winery safed — Attraction in Safed

We had an unbelievable time at this Winery. While walking through the old city we stumbled upon this family-run establishment and decided to stop by for a tasting. The owner explained how the farm was located just 30 minutes away, and gave us about 8 different wines to taste. Each blend was incredibly unique and diverse in scents and flavors - both red and white - with every option available from smokey to fruity to crisp to funky - and everything in between. While I normally avoid full body reds and sweet whites, each taste was so dynamic and made it really easy to enjoy. My two favorites were both red - the 13-year aged cabernet sauvignon, incredibly deep, crisp, and smokey, and the shalom bait which tastes sweet at the start and ends on an intensely dry note; from my understanding it is their most popular wine. The whites as well were perfect and exactly what we were looking for - crisp, refreshing, earthy, dry, with a hint of fruitiness. After the tasting, we grabbed a bottle of a crisp smokey white, some cheeses from down the street, and had a perfect afternoon. I truly cannot say enough good things about this winery and the beautiful family that runs it. They were so welcoming and kind, I will never forget this...

This winery gives a true feel both for the quiet, relaxed vibe of Safed and what a boutique business is meant to be: a family who love what they do (even the kids are involved!) and marvelous wines in which one can clearly taste how different they are from their mass-produced counterparts.

Keep in mind that this is more of a tasting than a tour; you'll be sitting at a table in the middle of a large room with all of the equipment (the vineyards are elsewhere).

A huge thanks to the entire Alon family for the...

I am a guide at the second oldest winery in the USA, and was anxious to avoid the large tourist oriented winery that was included in our trip to Safed. My wife and I wondered into Ancient Safed and were warmly greeted by the Alons, among the nicest people encountered on our trip.The wines are first rate. Enjoyable. Varied. Well worth the price. The Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc, a joy! A family owned winery; all the pride went...
