Barkan was founded back in 1990 when it was very unpopular to grow grapes in the Middle East. Started by a group of college students, it started as just a garage project but quickly gained international acclaim and eventually moved into a state-of-the-art 50,000 square meter winemaking facility.
Today, they are viewed as one of the very best wineries in Israel and the middle east, sourcing from the very best regions in Israel; the Golan Heights, Upper Gaillee and along the Lebanese border.
