Wineries and Breweries
Wasset Tourist Center
41 years ago during the Yom Kippur war this junction buzzed with activity. Wounded soldiers were evacuated from the front, just a ten minute drive. Tanks converged on Wasset to refuel, rearm and, in some cases, pick up new crew members to replace tank corps soldiers who were killed at the front.
A few years ago the final Syrian building at the junction was razed to ground, although just East of the junction remnants of the Syrian village that existed here prior to 1967 can still be seen and among them note the Emir Faour’s Summer Palace. A few years ago, just south of the junction the Wasset Tourist Center was created. Today it houses a restaurant, winery, and several shops including pottery. When you need to refuel you body and take a break in the north country stop at the cross-roads here.
