“Great morning tasting wine with lovely host - We were brought to the Ella winery in the Ella Valley, a really lovely place. Beautiful scenery. The wines themselves were excellent and the host was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about wine production in Israel. It was a really enjoyable and interesting morning. My only possible criticism could be that it was over too soon!” - Reviewed on 2019-09-18
