The Winery
Shiloh Winery - Ancient Roots, Modern Winery.
Wine has always been a part of Jewish tradition. The profusion of biblical wine presses discovered in present-day Shiloh attests to this, and is the root of our modern winery. Established in 2005, the winery overlooks the breathtaking Shiloh River and Samarian Hills in what studies have found to be the most ancient wine terroir in the world. Selecting only the best grapes from this region, we combine state-of-the-art technology with the uncompromising professionalism of winemaker Amichai Lourie. The result: Wines that sweep awards at international wine competitions and are sought after by connoisseurs.
Biblical Shiloh
Quality grapes and wine production have been associated with the Shiloh region for thousands of years. Jacob blessed Joseph as follows: “The God of your father will assist you, and the Almighty will bless you; blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep below…” (Genesis 49:25). With this enduring blessing in mind, alongside awe of the pristine terrain, and an immeasurable love of the land, entrepreneur Dr. Mayer Chomer could not resist founding the Shiloh Winery in this region.
Our Logo
Shiloh Winery’s logo is a bull, which is the symbol of the tribe of Joseph (Efraim) which inherited its portion in the Land of Israel around Shiloh. Like a bull, Joseph was known for his strength of character and leadership drive. Like Joseph, Shiloh Winery strives for excellence based on vision and tradition.
Personal Touch
Three thousand years ago, King David wrote: “Wine gladdens the heart of Man” (Psalms 104:15). To this day, whether welcoming the Sabbath or bidding it farewell, celebrating holidays or special occasions, or elevating a simple meal with a touch of class, there will always be wine in the Jewish home. In ancient times, the Land of Israel's agricultural success provided its residents and the Jews of the Diaspora with wine. The Shiloh Winery team takes great pleasure in shipping its high-quality wines from this unique region, to Jewish families and communities all over the world.
The Winemaker
Amichai Lourie always had a passion for making wine. When he first started at Shiloh Winery in 2005, he quickly gained a reputation for quality and professionalism. Under his guidance, Shiloh wines have been awarded gold medals and international recognition at the highest level. Amichai’s ability to work with many different varieties of grapes and styles of wine, while consistently delivering exceptional vintages, provides wine lovers with unique blends and extraordinary single varietal wines year after year.
The Vineyard
The highest quality wines begin with the best soil and the optimal climate conditions for the vineyard. Fortunately, the cool nights and warm days of the Samarian Hills create an ideal climate for grapes. At an elevation between 650 and 900 meters above sea level, our vineyards are situated in areas that have produced the highest quality of wine grapes since biblical times. The winery keeps expanding the vineyards it sources its grapes from, and we now have over 135 acres of vines.
