At the heart of the Yiftah’el Winery is a beautiful wooden cabin, originally built in 1840 in the Appalachian Mountains by a Scottish immigrant to the United States. Allen Radley, a Jewish resident of the area, purchased the cabin, dismantled it, and had it shipped to Israel.
With Radley’s generous help, the Ofir family received permission to rebuild the cabin. The reconstructed home now enjoys a unique ambiance, where you will be charmed by the serenity and beauty of a bygone age and the fragrance of its oak and chestnut timber.
Every Friday and Saturday the cabin welcomes visitors to the winery, with wine, honey, and platters of delicious goat’s cheese from the Galilee Abirim Dairy.
Hadas and Zvika Ofir established their farm in Alon HaGalil in 1985, with a beehive, vineyard, and winery. At the same time, they raised four children who to this day are partners in the family business.
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.
