Or Haganuz Winery is a boutique community winery in Israel’s Upper Galilee, established in 2005 at Moshav Or Haganuz at the foot of Mount Meron. Its name means The Hidden Light in Hebrew, a fitting description for this remarkable and often-overlooked producer.

A Community Built on Wine

Or Haganuz was built as a shared enterprise by the moshav’s residents, who work together across every stage of grape growing and winemaking. That collective spirit gives the winery a unique identity that comes through in every bottle, and few Israeli wineries can claim such a direct connection between people and place.

Organic Viticulture

The winery relies primarily on organic viticulture, with vineyards in and around the village supplying a wide range of kosher wines, from approachable everyday bottles to structured, age-worthy reds, and the Amuka Cabernet Sauvignon has earned recognition as one of its most celebrated labels internationally. The high elevation and cool microclimate of the Upper Galilee are central to the winery’s character, extending the growing season and preserving natural acidity, so the wines show a freshness and lifted quality that sets them apart from lower-altitude producers.

Visiting the Winery

Or Haganuz offers a genuine boutique experience rooted in community and place, so a visit is more than a tasting, it is a chance to connect with a way of winemaking that is authentic, communal and deeply local.
