Judean Hills wine region – which is theoretically further divided into the Jerusalem, Gush Etzion and Southern Judean Hills sub-regions – Lies within the Samson region of Central Israel. The Judean Hills (or Mountains) form a low mountain range that dominates the landscape around Jerusalem and the West Bank. Hebron, Bethlehem and Ramallah also lie within the range, which formed the core territory of the Kingdom of Judah where the earliest Jewish settlements were located.

As the region's name implies, the topography here is decidedly hilly, with elevations of up to 1000m above sea level.

This is to be expected given the continental nature of the macroClimate here in the Levant, and Jerusalem's latitude of 31 degrees North. Thus the Judean Hills are a fortunate exception in this otherwise desertous Part of the world.
