Weekend Outing: Oyster Club
The ultimate solution to the sticky Israeli summer has been found: cold champagne and plenty of oysters. The recently opened Noama restaurant on Nachalat Binyamin Street, Tel Aviv, is expanding with a next-door addition dedicated entirely to oysters and champagne.
The concept here is straightforward, and the execution follows suit: fresh oysters, fresh bread, and soft butter, accompanied by tall glasses of delicate bubbles.
The venue offers three types of oysters—Lambert (NIS 27 per piece), Elegant (29 shekels), and Emily (NIS 32)—and an additional food menu. It sounds like a great solution for a hot summer evening.
Location: 59 Nachalat Binyamin Street, Tel AvivWhen: Every evening from 18:00
Weekend Rosé: FIRA SARTORI
A dry rosé made from the Italian Corvina grape variety, produced without any contact with wood, keeping it fresh and crisp. It boasts a wealth of citrus and floral aromas, with flavors of mandarins and oranges alongside a subtle tropical note.
It's a light, very summery wine that doesn’t require food but pairs excellently with delicate dishes such as sushi, salad, and cheeses. A wine you can take to the beach and drink very cold.
Price: NIS 55
Weekend Festival: 30 Years of Sorek Winery
A little over 30 years ago, winemaker Barry Sasselov and the Shacham family founded Sorek Winery, which functions both as a winery and a wine school.
Thirty years of production don’t pass with a quick sip, so Sorek Winery is celebrating with a series of events. This coming Thursday, July 4th, they will celebrate at the winery with a nostalgic evening featuring a reception with white wines and snacks, a horizontal tasting of wines from the winery's archive spanning 30 years of production, a dinner based on local produce, and speeches from key figures in the wine world.
Location: Sorek Winery, Kibbutz NahshonWhen: Thursday, July 4th, at 18:30Entrance Fee: NIS 90
Weekend Classic: Schmerling's Chocolate Liqueur
A special surprise for Chocolate Day on July 7th: Schmerling's chocolate liqueur. If you haven't known it until now, it’s a shame. This isn’t the usual overly sweet liqueur you might be used to.
This Italian liqueur is made from dark chocolate soaked in alcohol, aged for 60 days in oak barrels to develop depth and woody flavors, and then blended with cocoa and sugar to refine the taste. A perfect sip to end a meal.
Price: Approximately NIS 95
