YARDEN – APPRECIATE THE ART

Every work of art fuses the creative and the physical. The Yarden series of wines is no different. Yarden wines combine grapes – the artwork of nature – and the brimming creativity of the Golan Heights Winery. The flagship series of the Golan Heights Winery, Yarden, features premium varietals, produced from the finest grapes gathered from the best vineyards. The brand is named for the Jordan (Yarden in Hebrew) River, which divides the Golan Heights from the Upper Galilee. The brand’s symbol is an ancient oil lamp.
