How far is the winery from Haifa?

Amram Winery is in Moshav Ramot Naftali in the Upper Galilee, about 87 km from Haifa — roughly an 85-minute drive.

Do I need to book ahead?

Calling ahead to arrange a tour and tasting is recommended. This is a tiny family operation, and the owner personally greets guests. Walk-ins may be possible (reviews mention ringing the doorbell), but should not be relied on.

No. The Hebrew listing for the winery states explicitly that it is not kosher. Kosher status is attributed only to the neighbouring Ramot Naftaly Winery, not to Amram, and no certifying body is associated with Amram.

What does a visit include?

An experiential winery tour with storytelling and explanations from the owner, plus a wine tasting; you can add a Galilee-cheese platter. There is also a small spirits distillery on site and a shop selling the wines.

What is the winery known for?

Its small family format (around 6,000 bottles a year) and the owner personally hosting guests. Visitors especially note the on-site spirits distillery and the personal-barrel project — about 300 bottles of a chosen blend with a personal label.

Amram Winery

Galilee

Amram Winery is a small family boutique winery in Moshav Ramot Naftali in the Upper Galilee, founded in 2001 by grape grower Amram Azulai and his son Ohad. The estate grows Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz and Sangiovese in the Kadesh Valley. First releases came from the 2004 vintage (about 2,800 bottles), growing to roughly 6,000 bottles a year today. It is one of four small boutique wineries that gave Moshav Ramot Naftali its reputation as a wine-tourism stop in the northern Galilee. The winery releases three lines of dry red wines aged in barrique and oak: the Premium series, the Bereshit ("Genesis") series and the Ramot Naftaly / Harei Naftali line. A visit is an experiential winery tour, with storytelling and explanations from the owner, followed by a wine tasting (with the option to add a Galilee-cheese platter). On site there is also a small distillery producing spirits, and a shop selling the wines. The winery offers a personal-barrel project, too: a customer chooses the blend, style and ageing period and receives about 300 bottles with a personalised label. It is a small, homey operation where the owner personally greets guests. Hours are inconsistent across sources, so call ahead before visiting.
