Tel: 02-5342249

Domaine du Castel is a family winery, originally established by Eli Ben Zaken in 1988 on a picturesque hillside near Moshav Ramat Raziel that evoked thoughts of Tuscany. In 2015, Domaine du Castel moved to its current home in Moshav Yad HaShmona, very close to Maale Hahamisha, while the original winery in Ramat Raziel was reinvented as the Raziel Winery. Domaine du Castel produces around 100,000 bottles a year from vineyards in the Judean Mountains, with grape varieties including Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec. The visitor center offers a guided tour with wine tasting and cheese platter, by appointment only.
