Fodor's Expert Review Odem Mountain Winery

This family-owned boutique kosher winery, located between Majdal Shams and Merom Golan, produces 80,000 bottles a year, mostly dry reds nurtured by the area's volcanic soil, but also a crisp Chardonnay. There are lovely fortified wines and cherry wines as well. Drop in for an impromptu tasting, where local cheeses are also for sale. Half-hour tours of the vineyards are available by appointment.
