Barkan Wineries
Produce and market wines and liqueurs. Own vineyards in the occupied Golan Heights. Use grapes from these vineyards in their wine production. Used to have their main facility and winery in the industrial zone of the Barkan settlement in the West Bank. As of December 2007 they do not hold any industrial space in the Occupied Territories.
