How far is Adir from Haifa?

The winery is in Dalton (Dalton Industrial Park, Upper Galilee), about 72 km and roughly 70 minutes' drive from Haifa.

Do I need to book ahead?

The official site states a reservation is required via the Tabiti booking system. Reviewer reports suggest a small tasting for 2-4 people may sometimes be possible without booking, but group activities require a reservation and a minimum of about 10 people, and it's best to reserve ahead for meals, tours and workshops.

Are the wines kosher?

Yes. The winery and visitor center are kosher and closed on Shabbat and Jewish holidays. Per kosher-wine databases, Adir wines carry OU and Badatz Beit Yosef certification (Rabbi Ungar); some bottlings are mevushal, others not. If your visit involves food, confirm the current on-site hashgacha first.

What is Adir known for?

Combining a boutique winery with its own goat dairy on one site — a wine-and-cheese tasting from a single producer is the main draw. Its flagship is the premium "Plato" Cabernet, and its wines have won Silver, Gold and Double Gold medals since 2008.

Galilee

Adir Winery is a family boutique winery founded in 2003 by the Rosenberg and Ashkenazi families in the Dalton Industrial Park, Upper Galilee, with vineyards in the nearby Kerem Ben Zimra area on the foothills of Mount Admon. The wines are made by winemaker Avi Rosenberg, who trained as a cellar master at Tel Hai Academic College. What makes Adir unusual is that it pairs a boutique winery with its own goat dairy (Adir Dairy), producing fresh goat-milk cheeses and yogurt served alongside the wines — a wine-and-cheese tasting from a single producer is the signature draw. The flagship is "Plato," a premium Cabernet Sauvignon made only in exceptional vintages; the range also includes the white blend "A" (Chardonnay-Viognier), Petite Sirah, Chardonnay, Colombard, and the Kerem Ben Zimra, Winemaker's Edition, Plot 98 and "November" series. Adir's wines have won Silver, Gold and Double Gold medals since 2008. The visitor center offers wine and cheese tasting on a patio overlooking the vineyards, guided winery and vineyard tours, and a short film for the whole family. You can book light dairy meals (breakfast/brunch and lunch) paired with Adir wine, plus hands-on workshops such as goat-cheese making or pasta/ravioli making. There is also a shop selling the wines and goat-dairy products.
