Yatir Winery was established at the foothills of the Jewish Fortress in Tel Arad, a mere 10-minute distance from the vineyards nestled in the Yatir Forest. Founded in 2000 as a collaborative initiative between local vintners and the Vine Growers Association, Yatir Winery recognized the exceptional potential hidden within the Yatir region. Today (2015), the winery produces 150,000 bottles.
