About Abouhav Winery

Abouhav Winery is a boutique winery founded in 2009 in the historic Kabbalistic Quarter of Old Safed, housed in a magnificent 16th-century building that lends a profound sense of history and spirituality to the winemaking. It produces around 30,000 bottles a year, a boutique scale that allows close attention to quality, and the wines reflect both the ancient heritage of Safed and the dedication of the team. Its location in the heart of the Kabbalistic Quarter gives it a character found nowhere else in Israel.

The Wines

Abouhav approaches winemaking with deep respect for tradition and for the sanctity of wine in Jewish heritage, guided by a commitment to preserving the values and quality standards associated with this historic place. The wines reflect the cool mountain climate of Safed, set at high elevation in the Upper Galilee, and the combination of altitude, climate and the team’s expertise yields wines of genuine quality and elegance. The boutique scale ensures every bottle receives careful attention, and the winery has earned a reputation for quality wines that honour the rich traditions of Safed, with the 16th-century building adding a layer of historic depth to each one.

Visiting the Winery

A visit to Abouhav combines the pleasures of tasting with the spiritual atmosphere of Old Safed, its historic streets and art galleries surrounding the winery to create an unforgettable setting. Visitors can explore the wines while taking in the extraordinary ambiance of the 16th-century building, and because it sits in the heart of Old Safed, a visit connects naturally with the wider cultural and spiritual richness of the city. The blend of history, spirituality and fine wine makes Abouhav one of the most distinctive destinations in Israeli wine, an experience that nourishes both palate and soul.
