Negev Wine Festival 2026

The Negev Wine Festival returns to Arsuf Kadim on June 10 and 11, 2026, for a two-day celebration dedicated entirely to the wines of the Negev desert. Organized in collaboration with the Yaina wine cart, the festival brings together the finest producers of the Negev region for an event that connects wine, desert landscape, and people in a truly unique setting. Wine booths from across the region offer tastings of the Negev’s bold and distinctive wines, accompanied by food stalls and a vibrant festival atmosphere.

The Negev wine region has gained significant international recognition in recent years, with its extreme desert terroir producing wines of concentrated flavor and remarkable character. The high diurnal temperature variation, ancient desert soils, and low humidity of the Negev create conditions that challenge and inspire winemakers to produce some of Israel’s most exciting bottles. The Negev Wine Festival at Arsuf Kadim is the definitive opportunity to discover this extraordinary desert wine country in one place.
