How far is Amphorae from Haifa?

About 26 km, roughly a 26-minute drive — on the western Carmel near the village of Kerem Maharal.

Booking ahead is best — via the website or the Tabit platform; a walk-in visit isn't guaranteed.

What does a visit include?

A tour of the winery, cellar and wine archive, plus a tasting of four wines with a cold board (cheese, fruit, nuts, bread).

Are the wines kosher?

The group’s separate kosher winery, Samuel, launched in 2025 and its wines are sold on the official site. Do not assume this certifies all Amphorae wines or the kitchen; confirm the specific wine and hospitality offering.

What is Amphorae known for?

Its scenic Tuscan-style stone building on the organic Makura farm, and red wines from Bordeaux and Mediterranean varieties with a focus on terroir.

Amphorae Winery

Carmel

Amphorae Winery is at Makura Farm near Kerem Maharal, on the western slopes of the Carmel. Its Tuscan-style stone building stands at the entrance to the valley. Amphorae makes mainly red wines from Bordeaux and Mediterranean varieties — Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Petite Sirah — with an emphasis on terroir, minimal intervention and ecological practices; the winery has at times been advised by consultant Michel Rolland. The visitor center offers a tour of the winery and cellar with a tasting of four wines and a cold board (cheeses, fruit, nuts and fresh bread). Visits are best arranged in advance.
