Jerusalem Wine Festival

Long before the vine reached Europe, the Middle East and Mediterranean were the wellspring of wine. Every August for over a decade, the Jerusalem Wine Festival has served as a celebration of Israel’s past and present standing as a wine region. Against the backdrop of an acclaimed sculpture garden, wine-lovers and sommeliers alike sip wine from over 60 wineries across the country, snack on treats from local eateries, and relax to the sound of (live) music. In a country where wine and festivities go hand in hand, you’ll surely be raising a glass by the end of the night.
