Rimon Winery is one of Israel’s most distinctive and internationally celebrated boutique wineries, renowned for producing what may be the world’s finest pomegranate wines alongside award-winning grape wines. Located in the Dalton Industrial Zone in the Upper Galilee — a cluster of seven acclaimed wineries that has become one of Israel’s premier wine addresses — Rimon has carved out a unique niche by making pomegranate the centrepiece of its identity, while also producing exceptional table wines from Galilee vineyards. The Hebrew name Rimon (רימון) means pomegranate — one of the Seven Species of the Land of Israel listed in the Book of Deuteronomy, alongside wheat, barley, grapes, figs, olives, and dates.

The pomegranate is one of the oldest cultivated fruits in the world and has been grown in the Land of Israel for thousands of years: pomegranate imagery decorates ancient Jewish ritual objects, the fruit appears throughout biblical poetry, and its distinctive taste and rich red colour have made it an enduring symbol of fertility and abundance in Jewish culture. Rimon’s pomegranate wines — including dry, semi-dry, and dessert styles — are produced from pomegranates grown in the Upper Galilee’s unique climate, where the combination of warm summers and cool nights produces fruit of extraordinary depth and complexity. The pomegranate wine range has won international awards and surprised wine critics worldwide who have discovered in it a genuinely distinctive and pleasurable wine experience.

Alongside the pomegranate range, Rimon produces grape wines from selected Galilee vineyards, including red varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and white varieties that express the freshness of the Galilee highlands. The winery’s visitor centre offers tastings of the full range, providing one of Israel’s most memorable wine tourism experiences. The combination of the magnificent Dalton Industrial Zone setting — high in the Upper Galilee at nearly 900 metres altitude with views across the Galilee valleys — and the unique pomegranate wine story makes Rimon a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Israeli wine country.
