Israel Attractions Catering and Private Events and Guided Tours In Fruit Orchards
Welcome to Levona Grove’s new world of tastes, and to our magical spot overlooking the Sea of Galilee landscape – a place where the breeze caresses, the heart opens and the body delights in new, unfamiliar tastes that words cannot describe.
Levona Grove is not only a beautiful setting where fruit trees of different species from all over the world grow. It is also a memorial to the fascinating story of the Lishanski family, which dates back to the early 20th century and Nili, the famous Jewish espionage network that helped the British in the struggle against the Ottoman Empire
The experience in Levona Grove includes a walk through the trees and tasting their ripened fruit.
So what you will find here?
1. Catering- in place- up to 200 people, or everywhere else in the country-unlimited number of diners)
With special attention to the freshness of our dishes, we set up a kitchen on location for every event, whether small or large – an oven, stovetop, Brazilian grill, meat smoker and more, as required. We prepare the food on site and present it at its best, with the finest service. That is why it is important to make arrangements in advance.

The grove is located opposite the Sea of Galilee (the Kinneret), near Capernaum. Its slopes overlook churches, the placid water of the lake and the mountains of the Golan Heights, changing colors with the seasons of the year.
In Levona Grove there are more than 100 different species (about a 150 varieties) of special fruit trees from all over the world. It was established in collaboration with Prof. Yossi Mizrahi of Ben-Gurion University.
At the end of the tour you will be able to taste from the ice cream and liqueurs we prepare from the local fruits.

Dear Shishi I would like to personally thank you for your contribution in turning our dinner event to a great success. I am aware of the difficulty of catering an event for sixty guests on Saturday night (Shabbat) and yet you have managed to offer our guests a wonderful and tasteful glimpse at the modern Israeli cuisine with a special spark brought by your self grown fruits from the orchid. It was a pleasure working with you. I appreciate your cooperation and patience in handling all of our special requests. Sincerely yours, Ron Gutterman
