Kishor Winery – a unique boutique winery that includes a vineyard, a visitor center, and unique activities that integrate people with special needs.
In late summer 2007, the first vines were planted and over the years the vineyard areas were expanded. Today, the vineyard covers an area of 110 dunams (27 acres) and is still growing.
The Kishor Vineyard is located in Kibbutz Kishorit, on the ridge of the Upper Western Galilee Mountains, at an altitude of 500 m above sea level. The unique climate in the area, characterized by high temperature differences between day and night, combined with the rocky soil, constitute an ideal environment for the long and slow ripening of the fruit and give Kishor wine its special color, aroma, and flavor. The quality and health of the grapes and wine are achieved while maintaining the health of the soil and the environment.
The Kishor vineyards and winery are owned by the Kishor Village, which sits on the lands of Kibbutz Kishorit, a village for people with special needs, who lead a community life and work in the village’s productive industries. The winery is one of the main industries in the village, and the members of Kishor are full partners in the winemaking process, cultivating and caring for the vineyards, harvesting the grapes, bottling, distributing to customers, and actually creating, with the guidance of a team of expert consultants and village employees, the Kishor wines. The visitor center is an additional source of employment for the members, allowing them to take part in the hospitality, experience interaction with an audience of visitors from outside, and see the fruits of their labor.
The winery makes about 90,000 bottles a year and its wines have won prizes in Israel and abroad.
Several grape varieties are grown at the vineyard: reds: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, and whites: Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Riesling, and Chardonnay.
You can taste and purchase the wines produced on site.
By booking in advance, you can attend wine tastings accompanied by organic vegetables and fresh breads that are also expertly produced and high-quality cheeses.
The visitor center can also host seminars and private events.
