Sunset Evening at Ulu Winery – 29 July
2026-07-29 18:00 - 22:00 | Ulu Winery, Givat Yeshayahu, Israel
Ulu is a small, highly regarded boutique winery in Givat Yeshayahu, in the heart of the Judean Hills. Through the summer it runs a series of sunset evenings on the winery balcony, which looks directly out over the vineyards.
The evenings pair a farm-to-table menu with Ulu’s boutique wines — an unhurried, screen-free evening in the hills rather than a large-scale festival.

When: Wednesday 29 July 2026, evening
Where: Ulu Winery, Givat Yeshayahu, Judean Hills
Tasting: Around 120 ₪ for a three-wine flight

Places are limited and tables are reserved directly through the winery at uluwinery.co.il. Exact sitting times are confirmed at the time of booking.
The series also runs on Wednesday 5 August 2026.

When: Every Friday, morning through early afternoon
Where: Tishbi Winery Visitors Centre, Binyamina

Outdoor seating is largely self-service via QR code, but the wine and chocolate pairing should be booked ahead — it regularly sells out. Confirm exact serving times with the winery when reserving.
