Kamisa Winery is one of the Upper Galilee’s most significant and large-scale boutique producers, located in the celebrated Dalton Industrial Zone — the wine hub of the northern Galilee that houses some of Israel’s finest winemaking operations in a small industrial park setting surrounded by exceptional vineyard land. With an annual production capacity of approximately 600,000 bottles, Kamisa occupies a unique position in the Israeli wine landscape: large enough to achieve economies of scale and broad distribution, but maintaining kosher certification to the highest standards — including both OU (Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations) certification for the American and international market and the stricter Eidah Chareidis certification for the most observant domestic consumers. This dual kosher certification is a significant undertaking that speaks to Kamisa’s commitment to serving the broadest possible range of observant Jewish consumers both in Israel and internationally.

The Dalton Industrial Zone where Kamisa is based has become one of Israel’s most important wine addresses, hosting multiple significant wineries including Dalton Winery, Feldstein Wines, Rimon Winery, and others who take advantage of the zone’s excellent infrastructure and proximity to the exceptional vineyards of the Dalton, Kerem Ben Zimra, and Meron sub-regions. This clustering of wineries in a single compact location has created a kind of Upper Galilee wine district, where visitors can walk from cellar to cellar tasting distinctive wines from different producers all drawing on the same extraordinary highland terroir. The Upper Galilee’s wine quality derives from a combination of factors that make it one of Israel’s premier wine regions: elevations of 600 to 900 metres above sea level that significantly moderate summer temperatures compared to the coastal plain; rocky limestone and basalt soils that drain freely and force vine roots to develop deeply; generous winter rainfall that recharges the soil moisture profile; and the clean, intense light of the Galilee highlands that drives photosynthesis while the cool nights preserve the natural acidity of the developing fruit.

Kamisa Winery produces a range of kosher wines including red varieties well suited to the Upper Galilee’s warm, sunny growing conditions alongside whites and blends. The winery operates a restaurant that serves the growing wine tourism traffic of the Upper Galilee, offering visitors the full experience of wine country hospitality alongside exceptional wines from one of Israel’s most celebrated growing regions.
