    Zikhron Ya'akov ( Hebrew: זִכְרוֹן יַעֲקֹב, lit. "Jacob's Memorial"; often shortened to just Zikhron) is a town in Israel, 35 kilometres (22 mi) south of Haifa, and part of the Haifa District. It is located at the southern end of the Carmel mountain range overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, near the coastal highway ( Highway 2 ).
    One of these initial settlements is Zikron Yaakov, located on the slopes of Mount Carmel, between Haifa and Caesarea. This settlement would become Israel’s premier and most successful winery, a title it still holds to this day. In addition, Zikhron Yaakov played a large part in the success of Zionism.
    Innovative practices are common within the history of Zikhron Yaakov. Aaron Aaronsohn, in addition to being the ringleader of the Nili movement, also discovered a wild grain called “mother wheat”. This wild grain is considered to be amongst the first grain strands in the Levant, an ancient source of food.
    He was a prominent philanthropist and wine maker back in France. When he laid eyes on the slopes of the settlement he knew that they would be ideal for raising grapes. He re-established the settlement as the town of Zikhron Yaakov, named in memory of his father Isaac, and began the Carmel Winery.
