AMI GALILEE · Private day programs

One Day in the Galilee.

Three private days in the Upper Galilee, each with its own mood — Safed and Kabbalah, a mountain stream and aromas, jeeps and wine. You take the morning train to Karmiel. From 10:30 until the 17:00 train home, everything else is ours.

Met at Karmiel station, 10:30 Back on the 17:00 train Private · 2 to 8 guests

The frame

Take the train. We take care of the rest.

The day begins on the platform in Karmiel, not on the highway. It's the quiet decision that makes everything else in the day possible.

10:30

Exact timing, no traffic

The train from the centre runs to the minute. No 90-minute morning jam, no evening crawl home — the day starts and ends precisely when we say it will.

Nothing to organise

No car, no parking, no one tired behind the wheel. A private transfer meets you on the platform, and the same care carries you through the whole day.

17:00

A gift for the road

We return you to the station for the 17:00 train with a Departure Gift Box — an artisanal snack for the journey and a small local keepsake.

Quiet luxury, in practice: full attention, measured logistics, and a day that asks nothing of you but to be there.

Three days, three moods

Choose the day that sounds like you.

Same frame, same care — a different Galilee in each. All three begin at Karmiel station at 10:30 and end there at 17:00.

Day I

Spirit · Safed · herbs

Galilee Spirit, Kabbalah & Rambam Remedies

For centuries the north of Israel drew sages not only for its mountains but for the inner balance they found here. This day weaves the spirituality of Kabbalah and the secrets of Safed with the legacy of the Rambam — Maimonides, physician and philosopher, who taught that wellbeing begins with balance of the soul and the medicine of nature. A deep, restorative day of intellectual and aesthetic calm.

10:30 – 10:45Met on the platform at Karmiel, into your private transfer.
10:45 – 13:00Safed. Specialty coffee and fresh pastry in a hidden gallery courtyard, then a guided walk through the old lanes — the stories of Kabbalah, the symbols and the secrets of the city.
13:00 – 15:15Amirim. The Point of View lookout over the Sea of Galilee, and a slow panoramic lunch at a restaurant on the ridge.
15:15 – 16:30Workshop on the terrace. A tasting of Galilean herbs and the blending of your own personal tea after the Rambam's ancient recipes for wellbeing — yours to take home.
16:30 – 17:00Departure Gift Box, and the transfer back to Karmiel for the 17:00 train.

Day II

Nature · stream · aromas

Galilee Nature, Renewal & Aromas

A reset of the senses in the clean nature of the Galilee. This day is made for slowing down — breathing forest air, and turning your attention away from the noise of the city toward the natural scents and landscapes of the north.

10:30 – 10:45Met on the platform at Karmiel, into your private transfer.
10:45 – 13:00Nahal Amud, lightly. An easy, refreshing guided walk along the mountain stream through a wooded nature reserve.
13:00 – 15:15Amirim. A slow panoramic lunch at a restaurant above the cliff, the Sea of Galilee below.
15:15 – 16:30Aroma atelier. A private perfumery workshop with Amirim's local makers — your own natural perfume or room spray from the oils of northern plants.
16:30 – 17:00Departure Gift Box, and the transfer back to Karmiel for the 17:00 train.

Day III

Drive · terroir · wine

Galilee Wine, Off-Road & Terroirs

A dynamic wine-and-food day with a bolder character: drive, the wild north, premium winemaking and proper rest. We show you the Galilee from the seat of a jeep along secret ridges, then take you deep into the wine culture of the high-altitude terroirs.

10:30 – 10:45Met on the platform at Karmiel.
10:45 – 12:45Jeeps on the heights. An exhilarating drive on mountain tracks around Amirim and Meron, wild views over the Sea of Galilee, and coffee at a lookout few people know.
12:45 – 14:15Panoramic table in Amirim. A light, impeccable lunch on the ridge — local artisan cheeses, quiches, fresh salads — nothing heavy before the wine.
14:15 – 16:30Boutique winery of the Upper Galilee. A visit to the estate, the culture of local winemaking, and a tasting of premium wines with a light pairing from the house.
16:30 – 17:00Departure Gift Box, and the transfer back to Karmiel for the 17:00 train.

Good to know

Questions people ask.

Which train do we take?

Any morning train on the Karmiel line that arrives by 10:30 — from Tel Aviv it's about two hours, from Haifa under an hour. Your confirmation comes with the exact departure to catch. We're on the platform when you step off.

What about Fridays and Shabbat?

The standard frame — 10:30 to the 17:00 train — runs Sunday to Thursday. On Fridays trains stop early for Shabbat, so a Friday day is shaped shorter and ends before the last train; tell us in the form and we'll propose the timing.

What's included in the quote?

Everything between the two trains: the private transfer, your host and guide, coffee, lunch, all tastings and entrances, the workshop with what you make, and the Departure Gift Box. Train tickets you book yourself.

How many of us can come?

The days are designed for two to eight guests — a couple, a family, a small circle of friends or colleagues. For a larger group, write to us and we'll shape a version that keeps the same calm.

What about food preferences?

The table is local and seasonal, and it adapts — kosher-observant, vegetarian, allergies. Tell us in the form and the kitchen will know before you arrive.

How much walking is there?

Safed's lanes are cobbled and gently uphill; Nahal Amud is an easy walk on a good path; the jeep day asks almost nothing of your feet. Comfortable shoes for all three. If mobility is a consideration, tell us — every route has a softer version.

Can we bring children?

Yes — the days are private, so we shape them to who's coming. The jeep day is a favourite with teens; the aroma atelier works from about ten years up.

What if the weather turns?

Autumn and spring are the gentle seasons here. If rain comes, the day reshapes rather than cancels — more courtyards and tables, fewer ridgelines. It has never been worse for it.

After the day

A day is a doorway.

Most guests leave already planning their return. When one day isn't enough, the Galilee has deeper ways in.
