Customers praise Psagot Winery for its beautiful ambiance, stunning views, and romantic atmosphere, making it a highly recommended venue for events like weddings.

Additional Details
The winery's history is rooted in a 2,500-year-old cave. They offer a visitor center and are known for their kosher wines, including mevushal (non-alcoholic) options.
Likely busy during weekends and for events. For a more relaxed experience, weekdays might be preferable. The evening ambiance, especially with the large window lit up, is also highlighted.
Food was really good - but you had to wait a while until you were able to give your order in. It's self service - basically you order, and they luk when it's ready. They should have more staff behind the counter. There are many tables to sit at, and even the possibility of eating outside. Beautiful view. High ceilings and ambiance to make it feel like a winery. Prices are fair. Desserts were pricey. Would definitely go again!
Beautiful wedding venue at one of the nicest winery's in the country!
I highly recommend having an event here. Staff's very warm and friendly
High quality WINE 🍷 👌
Very nice place To spend the morning, great menu and service, and on your way out you can also pick a nice bottle of red.
One little disappointing factor was in the nursery; while it is Nicely designed with a variety of plants, there is no accessibility to Wheelchair… This is an important factor we should always consider when designing any place.
