Wine and cheese roads

On the seaside plain we will go to the Ayalon valley. In this valley was the ancient Emmaus, where he appeared after the Resurrection of Christ before his disciples. In this valley we will visit the monastery of the silent, Latrun. Find out what the connection is between the throne of the rider and the village of the robber.

Today, in the foothills of the Judean valley, wineries, cheese factories and breweries have been revived, as in biblical times.

We're going for a tasting. For example, Kedma, where biblical ornaments harmonize with exclusive design.

Here, in the production of wine, ancient traditions of winemaking are combined with modern technologies.

After tasting among the wonderful landscapes, we will go to one of the local cheesemakers.

Further and higher, in the mountains - along the picturesque road we go to the place of the Gospel events, in Ein Kerem - here, according to legend, there was a meeting of the Virgin Mary with the mother of John the Baptist, Elizabeth. Our way is to the Gornensky Monastery of the Moscow Patriarchate.

Let’s go up to the Church of All Saints in the Russian Land. It has been 100 years since the foundation was laid. A breathtaking panorama of the surrounding mountains of West Jerusalem will be our reward. The monastery is located on a large square, we will spend about an hour here.

A few more kilometers of scenic roads and we will find ourselves in Kibbutz Tsoba.

In ancient times, the castle of the Crusaders Belvedere was located nearby. Excavations have been ongoing since 1999.

Today, the main activity of the kibbutz is the cultivation of fruits and grapes, dairy farming, as well as the production of bulletproof glass.

Kibbutz has a hotel overlooking the Jerusalem Mountains and a children's amusement park. Here you can visit the chocolate factory, where you can prepare chocolate products with your own hands. During the tasting it is interesting to admire the winery of the Byzantine period.

Transportation services are paid separately. The price of transport depends on the distance and number of passengers.
