About Amphorae Winery

Amphorae Winery was founded in 2000 by Guy Rilov and winemaker Gil Schatzberg, who set out on a journey to create exceptional wines that capture the essence of their terroir. Wine production began in a humble shed on a farm, reflecting the determination and passion that drove the founding of the winery. In 2008, the Dubov family joined forces with Guy Rilov, bringing new energy and commitment to Amphorae Winery. Consequently, the winery has grown from its modest beginnings into a recognized and respected boutique wine producer. The winery has since relocated to an impressive stone building near the farm entrance, housing both the production facility and a captivating visitor center.
