Yatir Winery (Template:Langx) is an Israeli winery in Tel Arad, Israel. Yatir’s vineyards are situated on a hill 900 meters above sea level on the outskirts of Yatir Forest.[1]

Planting of the vineyards commenced in 1997. Eran Goldwasser, a graduate of the University of Adelaide, Australia, is the chief winemaker.[2] The company is owned by Carmel Winery. As of 2012 annual production is about 150,000 bottles.[3]

The winery began producing on two levels: Yatir and Yatir Forest, the latter being the winery's flagship series. In 2004, Yatir introduced a Sauvignon Blanc wine and the following year, a single-varietal Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. In 2006, it came out with a varietal Viognier.[4]

Yatir's wine has received accolades from critics such as Robert Parker.[5] It is the first Israeli wine to be listed in the main selection of Selfridges in London.[6]

On the grounds of the winery, 180 ancient wine presses have been discovered [7]
