The Hans Sternbach Vineyard consists of a Winery, an Organic Garden, a Restaurant and a Venue for small Events situated in the farmyard of Gadi Sternbach and Shula Yefet at the village of Giv`at-Yesha`ayahu, in the district of 'Adulam.
About a mile away, down the Hakhlil Valley, was planted in 1996 the Janaba Vineyard, from the grapes of which the wine is made,
The vineyard, named after Gadi's father, produces annually about 16000 bottles.
The restaurant runs a rustic Mediterranean menu, based on the local Palestinian cuisine, but borrowing many recipes from wine consuming regions around the Mediterranean.
Gadi and Shula are long time members of "Slow Food".
Hence:
-The vineyard is organically fertilized. Spraying and artificial irrigation are minimal.
-The grapes grow close to the vineyard and the wine is made without biochemical manipulations.
-The cuisine is local, prefers local products and uses, as much as possible, wild plants and crops of the restaurant's garden.
-The employees are fairly treated and decently paid
