Established in 1983, Golan Heights Winery is one of Israel's top award winning vineyards, growing and distributing quality wines throughout the world. Known as pioneers of the Israeli wine industry, the high altitude and volcanic soil, combined with the black basalt stone, creates the ideal conditions for grape growing.

As the third largest wine producer in Israel, with four labels to their name, Golan Heights Winery has a variety to suit anyone’s taste. Priding themselves in high quality wines, their efforts paid off when they won the award for the Best Bottle Fermented Sparkling Wines at London’s International Wine & Spirits Competition, for their 1996 Yarden Blanc de Blancs. Even more impressive, they backed this up in 2003 winning the same award for their vintage 1997 Yarden Blanc de Blancs, cementing their name at an international level.
