Forty-five minutes southwest of Jerusalem, visitors to Israel can experience one of the country's most tightly held secrets: the Valley of Ellah. The area is one of the hotspots of Israeli viniculture, and among other attractions is Beit Guvrin, with its impressive bell-shaped caves and underground chambers, and Beit Jamal Monastery, with its remains of a mosaic from a 5th-century Byzantine church.
