JORDAN RIVER VINEYARD

Still a little-known export for the country, Jordanian grape can be tried directly from the cellar door of the country’s first ever vineyard. At Jordan River, the Haddad family has nurtured 40 kinds of vine in the Basalt Desert, where an ancient volcano eruption created a deep blanket of mineral-rich and fertile soil. Book a full-day tour to discover the harvesting, pressing and maturing process, then sample a glass over lunch.
