The Cremisan Monastery was founded by Italian missionaries in a stunning valley on the West Bank–Jerusalem border. Today, it produces wine using indigenous Palestinian grapes. The Hamdani Jandali white blend is crisp and refreshing, and you can taste several whites and reds, along with a distilled arak, at the cellar. Bottles are an excellent value; you can pay with credit cards; and staffers speak English, Arabic, and Italian. If you're visiting in summer, ask about wine festivals hosted on-site.

Arak means sweat in Arabic, and it is also the word for an alcoholic beverage with an anise flavor that turns milky white if you add water. Nader Muaddi makes his with exceptional care—from harvesting local grapes and crushing them into wine to using a copper still and clay aging casks. Arrange visits in advance, and bring cash for his bottles, which retail at NIS 150. Bring your curiosity, too: Nader is well-versed in the history of alcohol in the Muslim world and loves sharing his knowledge.

This small but popular farm, run by Yavshi and Bar Ya'aran, produces more than 10 types of hard and soft organic goat cheese from their herd of 130 goats that enjoy a life of grazing. It's best to come on a Saturday, when the couple bakes their own bread. If Bar isn't too busy, she'll explain her vision of living off the land, using only rainwater and solar power and windmills for energy. The farm is 8 km (5 miles) east of Beit Shemesh. It's open daily, but you must call ahead to visit any day except Friday and Saturday.
