About 4km up the road from Kibbutz Tzora is Mony Wines , founded by the Artul family, Arab-Christians who have leased the land from the neighbouring Deir Raffat Catholic Monastery. The wine cellars here were carved out 125 years ago by the church clergy. A small shop sells Mony’s kosher Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay wines, plus olive oil and cheese. The adjacent church can be visited on Saturdays from 10am to 3pm; check out the ceiling inside, on which the word ‘peace’ has been written in 340 languages.
