Whiskey is an ancient beverage, whose origin dates back more than 1,000 years. Irish and Scottish monks travelling Europe returned home, and lacking grapes and vineyards common on the main continent, settled on fermenting grains instead. The result was the first distillation of modern whiskey.
Wheat grows in family-sized plots here at Katzrin Village and you can partake in an authentic harvest in the springtime. This is a lovely activity to engage in, especially in coordination with the Golani Whiskey workshop.
This is the story of a Jewish, Canadian family who realized their dream of living in Israel and wanted to share their passion for fine spirits.
Established in 2014, the family-owned and operated Golan Heights Distillery produces its whiskey from local and imported grains, using local spring and well water, and distilled in caskets made of the highest quality wood.
Contact us to arrange a workshop at the Golan Heights Distillery, where you will learn about the whiskey production process, and taste the differing flavours of their signature whiskeys, rum, and other unique brews, all in the spectacular surrounds of a mosaic-tiled gallery with frescos to replicate the decor of ancient times.
Of course! Everything tasted during the workshop will be available for purchase in the Katzrin Village Gift Shop. There you will find award winning Golani Whiskey products alongside other specially selected items and gifts that originate from individual crafters and boutique businesses based in the Golan.
Now that everyone is in good spirits, dress up in traditional garb for the duration of your stay. Gather round as you have your picture taken to remember this moment!
Enjoy a tour of the village with an experienced guide in traditional clothing whilst you snack on a delicious ready-made Picnic in a Basket. If you wish to brighten the mood even more, request a musician to accompany you with soft, acoustical music, enhancing your experience and creating memories.
