Description
***Work visa required***
We have a biodynamic vineyard that grows wine grapes in the desert. We established our winery in 2024. To maintain the high standard. all pruning and picking is done by hand. Our wine is Natural, no sulfites or any other chemicals are added. Our first harvest was late summer 2016.
We also grow herbs and produce essential oils from the herbs we grow.
We are Hebrew / English speakers a little older in years (nearing 70), but young at heart.
We take Workawayers for a minimum of one week and typically up to a month. For Workawayers that are in possession of a valid work visa for Israel, we pay you for your hours worked.
PLEASE NOTE: We prefer couples or Workawayers who travel together (at least 2) for company, since our house is not on the farm. It can be lonely in the evenings, also for our peace of mind. We would like you to do your travelling before or after your visit with us, since our work on the farm is seasonal, and we invite helpers according to the needs of the farm.
There are other Workaway hosts in our area. The Workawayers get together often just to hang out and share experiences.
