What is the winery known for?

It is a true micro-boutique winery (about 1,500-2,000 bottles a year) founded by painter and winemaker Mark Guberman. It fuses wine and art — with galleries on site and a logo shaped like a Phoenician stamp referencing the ancient colony at Achziv.

Achziv Winery

Galilee

Achziv Winery is a small family boutique winery founded in 2005 by Mark Guberman, a painter and winemaker, in the artists' workshops compound at the edge of Kibbutz Gesher HaZiv, near Nahariya in the Western Galilee. It makes only about 1,500-2,000 bottles a year: dry red wines (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz) plus a dessert wine called "Impression," from hand-harvested Galilee grapes aged in French oak. The winery fuses wine and art, and its logo is a Phoenician stamp nodding to the ancient Phoenician colony at Achziv. A visit combines a tasting of 3-4 wines, a short guided wine-tasting workshop on the history and world of wine, and a tour, in a rustic, pastoral atmosphere around a large wooden table. The site also houses art galleries (painting, sculpture, engraving, photography) that visitors can browse. Some listings mention cheese platters, pastries and delicacies accompanying the tasting; one source states the tasting is free of charge for families and individuals.
