Passover Travels and Wines

---

Whether you like to stay local for Passover or explore a European destination, you now have endless choices!

Years ago many stayed within driving distance of home or made Passover at home. We all know what is involved with planning for and cooking for the seders. There is nothing like this tradition and being with family! There is also nothing like having options and so many beautiful Passover destinations to choose from!

Within driving distance from NYC you can visit the New England region and stay at the Heritage Resort Hotel and Spa. Located in breathtaking Litchfield Hills, Connecticut, this full service resort is glatt kosher for Passover. Here you will find a combination of traditional seders and tons of outdoor sports activities. Always a good way to work off the seder meals! You can pamper yourself with a relaxing spa treatment or explore the river, shops and boat rides during the holiday week. The Heritage is both family-friendly and chock full of interesting Passover programs.


The beautiful Hermitage Hotel is a slightly longer drive will take you to Historic Cumberland Valley, Maryland.

The Rocky Gap Lodge and Resort is perfectly situated between the shoreline and the forest. The resort is completely kosher for Passover with elegantly detailed guest rooms and all modern amenities. Here you will find many kid friendly activities and delicious meals. Rocky Gap is a 4 Diamond, award-winning resort with complete rustic charm!

For those who are exploring the European Coast instead of the East Coast for Passover, there are many resorts to choose from.

Private beach at the Hermitage Hotel in Tuscany, Italy you can choose between two sister properties: The Augustus and/or the Hermitage Hotels are equally elegant and completely kosher for Passover. Many of the rooms at the 5-star Augustus Hotel are beachfront and the weather is warm, so you will surely feel the breeze as it meets the Mediterranean.

The 4-star Hotel Hermitage, boasts a huge children's playground and park as well as a breathtaking heated pool.

You will sample delicious Passover fare and be sure to have an amazing culinary experience in both hotels. The cuisine is both European and traditional.

Both hotels are located along the sophisticate Italian Riviera, perfect for shopping, golfing and sightseeing.

Passover Wines:

Whether you decide to stay home for the holiday or travel to family or internationally, the choice for the best Passover wines for your seder table is clear!

Royal Wines offers unlimited wine selections. The most unique and international scents and grapes are "chosen" for Royal's Kosher for Passover wines. Top quality, wide ranging flavors and beautiful bottling and packaging are all part of Royal's core mission. Mission Possible!

Selections such as:

The Goose Bay Sauvignon Blanc. A crisp aromatic wine out of New Zealand. It emits hints of grapefruit, quince and tangerine!

Royal's Psagot Edom is a Cabernet/Sauvignon blend, straight from Israel. Specifically from the Psagot winery. Now they offer a beautiful Visitor's Center- replete with tours and tastings.

No Passover Seder table is complete without a bottle of either Baron Herzog or Alfasi Reserve.

Trust me, you will have no "reservations" about Alfasi Reserve. It is a dry red Chilean wine with equal parts Malbec and Syrah. Blended with hits of Vanilla and coffee- its good enough to eat!

Add Weinstock(not Woodstock), a cellar select, fruit driven Cabernet which is paired so well with grilled Halibut, beef or pasta with red sauce!

Even many Spirits are now "kosher for passover." Spirits such as Zachlawi and Mojito Vodka!
