Wine at the Montefiore Windmill Yemin Moshe The historical Montefiore windmill was built in 1858 and in use for 18 years until it ceased to operate. It stood idle for years but became an iconic symbol of the Yemin Moshe neighborhood. Two years ago, after a 160-year break, its wooden blades were restored and put to use once again. Today, the windmill serves as a wine tasting venue for winemakers “The Jerusalem Winery”. The windmill now also houses a museum that recounts the story of its restoration. Sir Montefiore’s old carriage has been placed in front of the mill, where a new café has been opened as well. thewindmill.co.il
