The 5 Best Vineyard Wedding Venues in the Golan (2026)

Updated July 2026 · 5 picks

The best vineyard wedding venues in the Golan in 2026 are Pelter Winery, Assaf Winery and the Golan Heights Winery. The Golan's volcanic plateau produces the country's best wine and some of its most striking open landscape, and a wedding among the vines up here is a genuinely different proposition from the coast. Below are five estates.

1. Pelter Winery — Kibbutz Ein Zivan, northern Golan

A serious boutique winery on the northern plateau, with a visitor space among the vines.

₪₪₪ UpmarketUp to 250 guestsBest for Couples

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.

2. Assaf Winery — Kidmat Tzvi, central Golan

A family estate with a visitor centre built for hosting.

₪₪₪ UpmarketUp to 250 guestsBest for Couples · Families

Assaf Winery is a family-run estate in the central Golan with a visitor centre, tasting room and outdoor space set among the vineyards.

Family wineries at this scale tend to be considerably more flexible about events than the large producers, and the personal involvement of the family in a wedding day is part of what you are buying.

The central Golan location puts it within reach of Katzrin and the Kinneret hotels for guest accommodation.

Good to know: Smaller family estates are more flexible on format than the big producers — worth asking what they will consider.

3. Golan Heights Winery — Katzrin

The region's flagship producer, with a full visitor centre and event capability.

₪₪₪₪ SplurgeUp to 400 guestsBest for Couples · Families · Groups

Golan Heights Winery in Katzrin is the region's flagship and the producer that established Israeli wine internationally, with a properly built visitor centre running tours and tastings.

Its scale means it can handle events that the boutique estates cannot, and the name carries weight with guests who know Israeli wine.

It sits in Katzrin, the Golan's main town, which makes logistics and accommodation easier than at the remoter estates.

Good to know: The easiest Golan venue for logistics — Katzrin has the accommodation and the roads.

4. Odem Mountain Winery — Moshav Odem, northern Golan

The highest vineyards in Israel, in oak forest below the Hermon.

₪₪₪ UpmarketUp to 200 guestsBest for Couples

Odem Mountain Winery sits at Moshav Odem in the far northern Golan, among the highest vineyards in the country, surrounded by oak forest at the foot of Mount Hermon.

The setting is unlike anywhere else in Israel — genuine forest rather than scrub, at an altitude that makes summer evenings cool and winter properly cold.

The winery runs a visitor centre with tastings; event arrangements are worth discussing directly given the scale.

Good to know: The forest setting is the reason to come this far north — visit before deciding.

5. Bazelet HaGolan Winery — Moshav Kidmat Zvi, central Golan

A basalt-soil estate in the central plateau, small and family-run.

₪₪₪ UpmarketUp to 180 guestsBest for Couples

Bazelet HaGolan is a family winery at Moshav Kidmat Zvi in the central Golan, named for the basalt soil it grows on, and it works at the small end of the region's producers.

The plateau setting is wide and open, and the estate's scale suits an intimate wedding rather than a large one.

As with the other boutique estates, event arrangements are a conversation rather than a package — which is usually to the couple's advantage.

Good to know: At this size the arrangement is negotiated rather than off-the-shelf — go with a clear idea of what you want.

Frequently asked questions

Why get married in the Golan?

Landscape and air. The plateau is high, wide and green in a way nowhere else in Israel is, the evenings are cool even in summer, and vineyard settings with Mount Hermon on the horizon are not available anywhere else in the country. The trade-off is distance from the centre.

How do guests get to a Golan wedding?

By car, or by coach organised by the couple. It is roughly two and a half hours from Tel Aviv and around forty minutes from Tiberias, so most couples arrange transport and block accommodation in the Golan or around the Kinneret for guests staying the night.

When is vineyard wedding season in the Golan?

Late spring through autumn. Harvest, in late summer and early autumn, is the most atmospheric time to be among vines but also the busiest for the wineries themselves. Winter on the plateau is genuinely cold and occasionally snowy.

Are Golan wineries kosher?

The major producers are, including Golan Heights Winery and several of the boutique estates, which matters for a wedding because the wine served under a kosher caterer's supervision must be too. Confirm the specific certification when you book.

How large can a Golan vineyard wedding be?

Most of the boutique estates handle a few hundred rather than the six hundred a coastal hall would. That is part of the appeal, and it means the venue choice tends to follow the guest list rather than the other way round.
