Stern Winery, a family-owned, boutique winery in the Galilee, was founded in 2004 by Johnny Stern and is situated on one of the mountain peaks at Kibbutz Tuval, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
Johnny left his marketing and sales job to fulfill his dream of making wine in the Galilee.
He learned about winemaking through professional literature and the Cellar Master winemaking course at Tel-Hai College.
During the winery’s early years, a large group of relatives, friends, and acquaintances got together to help in almost all of the winery’s upkeep. This group later became the Friends of the Winery Club, and its members still take part in the activity.
Today, the winery makes around 30,000 bottles of wine a year, of both blended wines and varietal wines: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petite Verdot, and Sauvignon Blanc
The wines received many awards in local and international competitions. Recently, kosher wines were added to production.
Being Brazilian, Johnny loves wine, food, and people. Sometimes, with advance booking, he brings his loves together and holds dinner parties where he serves his wines on a farmer’s table at the winery’s beautiful visitors center.
Visitors can take a tour, hear about wine production, taste some wine, eat a meal (with advance booking), and purchase wines.
Western Galilee Now is a registered non-profit grassroots organization (NGO) promoting awareness and appreciation for the region’s boutique wines, beers, food and produce, along with its cultural diversity, its historic traditions and the area’s scenic routes nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea acting as a Chamber of Commerce to boutique tourism operators in the region.
We expose the visitors to the unique heritage and hospitality through workshops, culinary events, art, music, guides tours, festivals and also through our Tourist Information Center in Akko, owned by JNF USA which we were chosen to operate since Jan. 2016.
Our vision is to develop local and foreign tourism based on close cooperation between all the interested parties in the region.
