Ella Valley Wineries

The Valley of Ella is well-known throughout the world as the place of the famous battle between David and Goliath. In fact, in ancient times, the valley was no less famous for its wines.

The historical tradition involving vine growth and wine production, which was forgotten for hundreds of years, was revived in the last decade, thanks to the determination of a small group of visionaries.

The opening of the Ella Valley Wineries brought back to the region a wine culture that was thousands of years old, with the help of 21st century tools and skills.

The principles underlying the work of the founders of the Winery were to produce excellent wine, relying on the unique qualities and conditions of the area; and for the wine to be kosher, which would enable its dissemination to large publics in Israel and across the world.

The Ella Valley Wineries are considered one of the best and most advanced in Israel, with a production of over 200,000 bottles a year, all of which are premium quality wines. Approximately 40% of the production is exported, which is unprecedented in Israel's wine industry.

In addition to the significant export to Europe and the US, the Ella Valley Wineries are one of the few wineries in Israel that have succeeded to make its way into the Japanese market, which is known as being difficult to please and perfectionist.

The Ella Valley Wineries produce the following red wines: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Petite Syrah, and Syrah.

The wineries have encountered great success with the following white wines: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscat.

The Ella Valley Wineries produce two series of premium wines:

Ella Valley - A quality brand, which has become very popular among wine aficionados at home, in restaurants and in wine shops, both among critics and among wine journalists in Israel and abroad. The series includes most of the types of wine produced by the Ella Valley Wineries, from various harvest years.

Vineyard's Choice - This is the Wineries' luxury brand. It uses the most exclusive grapes, which are picked in the best vineyards. This wine has undergone a long aging process, both in barrels and in bottles, prior to its release on the market. Each year, the winemaker decides which wines will be attributed the exclusive and binding VC label, which is why this series includes different wines each year.
