Bat Shlomo Farmhouse

There are few places in Israel this elegantly preserved, yet still remaining so true to its historic bones. So much so that we are a little apprehensive about sharing this with everybody. Bat Shlomo Farmhouse, in its location, heritage, and core values, is an Israeli dream fully realized. Proprietor and entrepreneur Elie Wurtman saw the potential of a dilapidated manor tucked away in an unassuming moshava, and spent years toiling the land and structure to build, brick by brick, what the Bat Shlomo Farmhouse and its adjacent vineyard, winery, and tasting room are today. For couples or solo travelers, this place is a serene spot with every consideration taken to truly get away from the noise. Named after Baron de Rothschild’s mother, even the small village itself has been renewed with purpose through the Farmhouse’s vision – including social enterprises within the small community. First thing in the morning, head to the communal dining table where a private chef has prepared regional fare pulling straight from the farm’s abundance. Then, your day awaits; guided yoga classes, meditation sessions, bicycle tours, watsu in the saltwater infinity pool, private cooking workshops, and expertly-led wine tastings are all at your disposal. Or simply choose to let the countryside wind grace your face, poolside. No one will bat an eyelash.
