Come one, come all! From tonight, Saturday May 21 to Saturday May 28, the Golan Heights Winery is presenting their incredible yearly wine extravaganza at the port of Tel Aviv. There will be 6 separate themed bars, and each cost only around 30 shekels to sample all four (or more) wines featured there.
All of the information online about the fest is in Hebrew. However, it’s going to be fantastic. The winemakers themselves are going to be there. We’re opening top-end wines that are not yet on the market. There are free workshops every night. Blind tastings. The works.
Day 1 was incredible! I got to open a Yarden Rom. That's right. Rom.
Basically, be there or be square. You can come for 20 minutes, you can come for 4 hours. It’s simple. As it’s free to get in (it’s at the namal, after all), you can pick and choose exactly which of the 6 experiences you’d like to have. Starts at about 7 pm every night (except Shabbat, when it’s after Shabbat ends, around 8 pm).
Thanks for the info,will see if I can make it…
I hope you can come! I won’t be there Tuesday and Thursday, but you should come if you can. Very affordable.
Oh good heavens, I don’t want to be thought square, do I?! Guess I’ll have to go! Apart from the fact that I never, ever drink wine. 😉
See you there! Or maybe I’ll see two of you if I’m seeing double…
Oh Miriam, I hope you’ll come. You can interview some of our winemakers, too. There are going to be some interesting people there to interact with. Look for an email from me…
Well, it sounds like a lot of fun but also like a lot of work as well… And I do hope that it’s a good thing (the work, that is. I’m pretty sure that fun part is going to be all right…).
In any case, I won’t be able to make it, but I do hope that you’ll enjoy yourself over there, and do try not to exhaust yourself in the process, will you?
Noam – it’s on all week – every day (except Friday) until Motz’sh. You should come if you can! And yes, the work is good. Very good. It was awesome again last night. Journalists and celebrities (so they tell me, I cannot recognize any Israeli celebrities).
I’m like seven time zones away, so it’s a bit of long trip to make even if it’s a great wine event… 😉
I started to explain that you can identify celebrities by their over developed sense of self importance, but than I realized that could describe 90% of the population in Israel – so just ignore that…
