Galilee Food Tour with Local Lunch & Market Visit

Summary

Authentic Galilee Culinary Experience with Village Lunch

This is your chance to taste knaffeh fresh from the pan, sample handmade goat cheese at a family farm, visit ancient olive groves, and share lunch in a village home. Every stop brings you closer to real Galilee flavors—guided by locals who know every shortcut and story.

What’s the experience like?

“Try this,” our guide said, handing me a piece of knaffeh still warm from the tray. The sweet cheese stretched as I bit in, and I could hear the chatter of vendors drifting from the nearby market. We’d started our Galilee food tour early, just as the sun was warming up the hills—perfect timing to catch the bakery’s first batch of baklava before it disappeared.

Later on, we met a family who runs a small goat cheese dairy tucked away behind rows of olive trees. Their youngest son showed us how they make their award-winning cheese—he even let us taste a slice straight from the mold. The air smelled faintly grassy and sharp from the goats nearby, and I remember how proud they looked explaining their process.

We stopped at an old flour mill where pitta bread came out of a wood-fired oven, edges crisp and smoky. Our guide pointed out olive trees that have been standing for thousands of years—some so wide you’d need three people to hug them. Lunch was served in a local home: simple dishes, lots of laughter, and coffee poured strong enough to keep you talking long after dessert.
