Tailor-Made Culinary Event Planning, Itinerary Consultation & Machane Yehuda Shuk Tour
Planning your trip to Israel with a Machane Yehuda Shuk tour, organizing a special celebration, or hosting a meaningful event in Jerusalem? I offer tailor-made culinary event planning, personalized itinerary consultations, and private Machane Yehuda Shuk tasting tours, all designed to help you experience Israel through its food.
With over 25 years of experience in event planning, I work closely with clients to create seamless, well-curated experiences—whether that’s a private celebration, a corporate gathering, or a food-focused visit to Jerusalem. Alongside event planning, I provide one-on-one itinerary consultations, helping travelers decide where to eat, what to book, and how to structure their time based on personal tastes, dietary needs, and travel schedules.
At the heart of many of these experiences is Machane Yehuda Market (the Shuk)—Jerusalem’s vibrant culinary hub. Having lived in Jerusalem for nearly 20 years, many of them next to the Shuk, I came to understand its true rhythm: shopping daily, building relationships with stall owners, and learning where locals really go for the best produce, spices, bread, and street food.
Whether you’re looking for a private food tour of Machane Yehuda, expert guidance on where to eat in Israel, or a professionally planned culinary event, I offer a local, thoughtful approach that turns plans into memorable experiences.
