Our Farm

During our travels through the Negev we came upon a hidden riverbed with remains of an ancient farm and vineyard. We instantly fell in love with the place and decided that we would establish our farm at the site, which had been a vineyard during the Nabbatean period more than 2,000 years ago

The Vineyard

Our search for a suitable place in the Negev to grow wine grapes led us to the present site of the Carmey Avdat Farm. Archeological evidence shows that a wine industry existed here and that wine grapes were grown at this site 1500 years ago. The farm is located approximately 4 kilometers (two and a half miles) from the ancient wine cellars of the Nabbatean city of Avdat.
