The Elkosh vineyard in the western galilee is the largest vineyard project that the winery has ever undertaken. It is a 230 dunam site (23 hectares). We began preparing the property in January 2009. Now the time has finally come to plant the vines. Yesterday I visited the site to witness the exceptional progress and even planted a few vines myself.
