We'll begin this day with a tour of Safed. The city of Safed was first mentioned in the scripts of Josephus Flavius, conquered by the Crusaders in 1140 and thrived under Turkish rule during the 13th century, when it became the center for many Jewish scholars—scholars who founded the Zohar and Kabala theories still studied today.

We’ll visit the charming Artist’s Colony and the ancient Synagogue quarter, including two of its finest synagogues.

Also drive through Tiberius, one of Judaism's Four Holy Cities. In the 2nd-10th centuries, Tiberias was the largest Jewish city in the Galilee, and the political and religious hub of the Jews of Palestine.

Next, stop at Dalton Winery and its vineyards located in the exclusive area of the Upper Galilee (Merom Hagalil). This volcanic plateau combining high altitude, optimum soil conditions and a unique climate provide the ideal conditions for growing grapes in Israel.

Later back to the pier.
