Description

The story of the well-known King David of historic Carmel Winery is the story of Israel. The land of vision and creating what it is today from the emptiness of the 19th century...

In 1882, the first Israeli pioneers turned to Baron Edmond de Rothschild to seek his help; after all, times were tough... Baron Edmond de Rothschild was known at this time as the 'benevolent supplier', known as the owner of the world-famous Chateau Lafite Winery in Bordeaux.

Representatives of the baron sent to Israel to assess growing conditions returned with positive reports that the climate in Israel was similar to Bordeaux and recommended planting vineyards for wine production. From the year 2000, major investments took place at Carmel Winery. In addition, advanced, state-of-the-art equipment was installed in the winery, making Carmel the leading winery.

Carmel is Israel's largest winery after a great effort and development, settling with their main building in Zihron Ya'akov.
