A couple of times a month, I go on research trips to explore new wineries in Israel, but today led me to a different type of industry in Israe: Beer and Cheese! I started the day off at Alexander Brewery in Emek Hefer  and met with Ori, the owner and beer passionate!  Ori retired as a pilot and now is following his second career into his hobby, which is making good beer! His facility is state of the art and he even hired a brew master from Denmark to make the best possible Israeli beer. He makes a Blond, Amber and Black beer. I look forward to bringing groups to Alexander Brewery!

My second stop was Recanati Winery, since they are in the same industrial area. Recanati’s is one of the leading wineries in Israel with its premium wines and expert winemaker, Gil Shatzberg.  Their grapes come from excellent vineyards from all around the country. They have a nice selection of wines to taste.

My third stop was Jacob’s Dairy, a family owned dairy since 1996. I went into the facility and saw the cows, aging rooms and of course the cheese shop which includes a bakery. Jacob’s Dairy has over 25 types of cheeses and is one of the leading dairies in Israel.

My forth visit was Morad Winery, a winery established by husband and wife who have been making wine from fruit, herbs and chocolate for decades.  I tasted orange wine, apple wine, chocolate wine, carob wine, cinnamon wine, almond wine, pomegranate wine, pasaflora wine and many more.  This is a great stop for something different!

On my way up to Zichron Yaakov, I stopped at Carmel and Somek Winery to see my friends, which is always a nice visit.  On my way out of Zichron, I stopped at a new Brewery in the old section of Zichron called Pavo.  Pavo Brewery overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and the Carmel Mountains.  They have 5 selections of beer and a restaurant attached that serves kosher sausages, nachos, fried and lots of beer food!

I am excited to bring my future clients to all these places!
