Our Story

The wines of Tel Shifon Winery express our creativity, labor and faith in the fascinating growing area where we grow and create them - in the north of

.the Golan Heights

Our vineyards, which are located in Kibbutz Ortal, enjoy a unique terroir - volcanic soil and a significant winter, accompanied by several, at times quite significant, snow events. This provides the neccessary cold during dormancy to allow for a uniform awakening in the

.spring

We believe that the vineyard is part of the environment in which it grows. Therefore, we implement sustainable, responsible and considerate agriculture with minimal intervention and with utmost respect for our surroundings and the evironment

Our winemaker, Yosef (Yossi) Sidon is 37 years old, and has been living with his family in Rosh Pina for over a decade.

I took my first steps in the wine industry shortly before the 2010 vintage at Kishor Winery, and was part of the team that established the winery. At the same time, I combined my work at the winery with wine and vineyard studies at Tel Chai College.

During these wonderful years, I planted vines, expanded my knowledge, and crafted and nurtured my passion for wine. After 5 years, I was appointed manager the renewed Saslove Winery and later, the winemaker. From there, I continued to Bazelet HaGolan and Delta wineries.

Throughout my journey in our amazing wine industry, I have learned about and gained experience on a wide selection of grape varieties, production styles and growing regions. I have planted and nurtured quite a few vineyards with my own hands, and am proud to have taken part in the production of Israeli wines that received great recognition and appreciation.

I arrived at the Tel Shifon Winery about a month before the 2020 vintage, ready for a new and challenging path in the most fascinating and intriguing growing region in Israel - the northen Golan Heights.

Since then, four harvests have passed, in which the scope of the winery's production has doubled, and new plantings have been added in additional nearby areas. These vineyards will provide us with wonderful grapes in the coming years.

Tel Shifon has given me the opportunity to successfully re-establish a young winery with big ambitions.
