1. Pelter Winery — Kibbutz Ein Zivan, northern Golan
A serious boutique winery on the northern plateau, with a visitor space among the vines.
Pelter is one of Israel's best-regarded boutique wineries, based on the northern Golan plateau, producing across a range that includes some of the country's more interesting whites and sparkling wines.
The setting is the northern Golan at its most open — vineyards, wide sky and Mount Hermon on the horizon — and the winery's visitor facilities put an event among the working vines rather than beside them.
It is a small operation, which makes it right for a smaller wedding and wrong for a large one.
Good to know: The northern plateau is cool after dark even in August — tell guests to bring a layer.
