Just a short drive from the center of the country, this rural festival takes place in an area abundant with beautiful views and nature- Mate Yehuda. This exceptional festival has a different vibe from typical food fairs, as local cooks open their homes and hearts to serve traditional dishes from many cultures. The personal and unique adventure of eating at a host family’s home, makes the experience that much more authentic and enjoyable, and is something unobtainable in any store or restaurant. This area of the country has a diverse population, which is reflected in this fascinating and flavorful culinary event.
