Cherries are in full-bloom during mid-June. We will eat our way through the local orchards and understand why the volcanic soil helps create the perfect cherry!

The Ortal Winery does a great job a showcasing some of the wonderful wines coming out of the Golan today, putting the region on the world’s map. Now we have a chance to taste some of the areas finest blends!

Then we will take a stroll between the mine fields (not in the mine fields!) to Ein Mokesh, a local spring with tons of water and a great place to cool off during the hotter hours of the day. The spring sits across the highway from Mount Beni Rasan and the famous wind turbines.

We will cap off the day with a visit to Mount Beni Rasan and a beautiful view into Syria. From here, we can really grasp the rapidly changing geopolitical situation on Israel’s northeastern border and get a closer look at the new realities on the ground.
