About Yatir Winery

Yatir Winery lies in the Yatir region, at the southern edge of the Judean Hills, a landscape with a winemaking history reaching back more than 2,500 years to the time of the kings of Judah. The remains of a large ancient wine press attest to that long heritage, and the region was also a major centre of Jewish settlement in the centuries between the destruction of the Second Temple and the start of the Islamic period, giving the winery one of the most historically significant territories in the world of wine.

The Wines

The southern Judean Hills give Yatir its distinctive conditions: high elevation, cool nights and varied soils, which build good natural acidity and concentrated flavour. The land has grown grapes and olives for millennia, and wine from ancient Yatir once travelled to Egypt, Rome and beyond. Today the team draws on that heritage while working with modern technique, so the wines carry both historical depth and contemporary precision.

Visiting the Winery

A visit brings together fine wine and the deep history of the Judean Hills, set against striking desert-edge scenery. Guests can taste the range and learn about the archaeological evidence of winemaking dating to the kings of Judah, a genuine journey into the origins of wine in this land.
