 Naaman Winery Arianna and gang took a spectacular wine tour with me to 5 wineries in the Upper Galilee. The wineries we visited were Naaman Winery, Dalton Winery, Adir Winery, Rimon Winery and Galil Mountain Winery. Arianna and some of her friends are taking a wine appreciation course at Yale so they decided to test their academics on Israeli wine.
We started the day at Kfar Giladi and took a scenic drive to Ramot Neftaly where we met with Rami Naaman, the winemaker of Naaman Winery. Rami explained to us his passion of winemaking the different ways he is creative with his blends, barrels and wine. We had a tasting of 6 different wines, ranging from a Rosa, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a few of Rami’s special blends that are named after Musician, such as his Pink Floy, Deep Purple, King Crimson and Black Velvet.  Adir Winery Our second winery visit was Adir Winery where Arianna’s group loved the Adir Port! They enjoyed a tasting of 3 different goat cheeses, goat yogurt and 4 selections of wines. The third winery was Dalton Winery where the group received a large selection of wines ranging from their different series, white, red, dessert and liquors.  Dalton Winery  Galil Mountain Winery The forth winery was a great surprise for the group since they love their pomegranates. Rimon Winery was very quiet and we had the whole winery to ourselves to drink Pomegranate dry wine, dessert wine , bubbly and Port style wine. The regular Pom juice was delicious as well!
Our last winery was Galil Mountain Winery where we drank the Sauvignon Blanc 2010, Avivim 2008, Barbara 2008, Meron 2008 and Yiron 2007. At the end of the day we saw the outlook of Lebanon and Le’Chaimed to a most enjoyable wine tour!
