A fascinating meeting and wine tasting at the Pelech Winery in the young Kibbutz Pelech, facing a spectacular panoramic view of the Galilee.
We will start at the winery plaza, continue on a tour accompanied by explanations, inside the production rooms and end with guided tastings of three to five wines – whites and reds, accompanied by refreshments of local cheeses and an endless Galiean view.
Pelech Winery was established out of a desire to revive the kibbutz idea, but in a contemporary version – agriculture, community, cooperative work, solidarity, and great wine. Itay Bay, the winery’s winemaker, brought with him professional knowledge from France and the experience of the Galilee wineries, and together they created a home for Mediterranean wines, with natural fermentation — an approach of “less intervention, more truth”.
The wine of Pelech Winery is a story about the kibbutz, land, and people who chose to blend social action with good wine.
Pelech Winery is owned by Kibbutz Pelech, a young and diverse kibbutz whose members work together and separately while promoting shared values for a better society. Itay Bay, the winery’s winemaker, brought with him professional knowledge from France and the experience of the Galilee wineries, and together they created a home for Mediterranean wines, with natural fermentation — an approach of “less intervention, more truth”.
