At Pepo’s Vinyard – For art and wine lovers
Pepo planted the small home-grown vineyard about 20 years ago in the backyard of his house in Kibbutz Or Haner. Over the years, and as the vineyard continued to develop, Pepo also started the picturesque family winery, where the entire wine production process is carried out - from harvest through fermentation, aging, and until the wine is ready to rest in barrels. In addition to being a winemaker, he is also a metal artisan. You can see his works in the open gallery in the house's courtyard while sipping a glass of wine and looking at the picture-perfect Tuscan-like landscape.
