A walking tour will allow your group to discover this charming neighborhood in its entirety, uncovering its local secrets.

ARCHITECTURAL TOUR OF TEL AVIVTel Aviv offers a range of architectural styles in a relatively compact area, making it perfect for an inspirational tour. Best known of the styles is Tel Aviv’s “White City,” a collection of over 4,000 Bauhaus style buildings built in the 1930s by German Jewish architects. Many buildings have been restored to their original grandeur after years of damage from the harsh sea air. A stop at the Bauhaus Museum will enlighten your guests about the significance of this style. You’ll also be given a chance to see some of the eclectic European styles in Neve Tzedek and the Brutalist and contemporary styles of the modern city. Led by noted architect Hanan Pomagrin of the award-winning TheHeder architecture firm, the tour will offer your participants an inside look at some of the most exquisite exteriors and interiors in the city.

WINERYIn recent years, Israel’s rocky soil and arid climate have proven ideal for the production of superior wines. Highly acclaimed boutique wineries have crept up throughout the country, especially in the Jerusalem hills and northern regions. We can arrange a personalized tour at one of these wineries, where your team will be given an overview of the winemaking process, from grape to finished product. You’ll also enjoy tastings of the excellent varieties of wine on offer and will be able to purchase limited edition bottles of wine as keepsakes.
