Kidmat Tsvi: Wine and Ways to Visit

Kidmat Tsvi has a clear connection to wine, reflected in two distinct themes: the red wine production of Ram Winery and the ways to visit the Bell Ofri Tourist Farm. This distinction helps you plan your stay around your preferred focus.

Wine production and specific ways to visit

Ram Winery is a family-run boutique winery in Kidmat Tsvi on the Golan Heights and has been producing red wines since 2000. The combination of family ownership, a boutique winery and red wine production gives the local connection to wine a clearly defined character.

At the Bell Ofri Tourist Farm in Kidmat Tsvi, you can take a short self-guided tour or, by arrangement, join a guided tour with wine tasting; there is also a restaurant. If the guided option is important to your plans, make arrangements before your trip. Visiting arrangements and availability may change.

Northern District: archaeological highlights

In the wider travel destination of the Northern District, Tel Hazor and Tel Megiddo form an archaeological highlight, offering a different focus for a trip from Kidmat Tsvi’s connection to wine.

Tel Hazor is a biblical tell with significant remains of a city associated with the Bible; visits focus on the upper city. There stands Solomon’s Gate, with six chambers and two towers dating to the 10th century BCE. A Canaanite palace was used by the kings of Hazor in the 14th and 13th centuries BCE. The Late Bronze Age palace is described as the most elaborate in Israel and one of the most significant in the Levant.

The water supply also offers insight into Tel Hazor’s construction history: the significant remains of an underground water-collection system represent sophisticated engineering adapted to the geography for water storage. In the water system, steps three metres wide are cut into the walls of the vertical shaft. An excavated shaft at Tel Hazor is 45 metres deep.

Tel Megiddo is one of the three tells that preserve significant remains of cities associated with the Bible and are closely connected with biblical events. The Early Bronze Age temple complex is exceptional in terms of the number of its temples, the continuity of cultic activity and the documented ritual practices. The orthogonal city plan dates to the Iron Age and has few parallels in the Levant.

When choosing your holiday apartment, you can compare the travel interests you have in mind: here, Kidmat Tsvi represents wine production and ways to visit, while the wider Northern District offers archaeological highlights. At Tel Hazor, the upper city, palaces and water system shape the experience; at Tel Megiddo, the temple complex and city plan are the focus.
