PREHISTORY
South America. 2012 Three men, one jungle.
An Indian guide gives us the only word he knows in Hebrew.
Nice, you guessed it. Giraffa (Giraffe in Hebrew)
Very quickly we realize that this is an animal with the biggest heart in nature, sleeps only standing up, always in a pack and nibbles non-stop.
It turns out that one word can be a glue that lasts for years.
HISTORY
2020 - Solo travels of 8 years met again at one junction, this time not in the jungle but in the city.
The giraffe that was born on a trip in the jungle has decided that she is making her big trip here in the big city and she invites everyone to climb high up high - to see and experience and taste everything the city has to offer - along with her!
Wait, how does it relate to a global epidemic?
TODAY
STORY
After we brought all the people to the urban markets that were suddenly closed we had no choice but to bring the markets to the people.
Since then and until today, we operate in a two-sided way that only goes on and expands paths: gift boxes from the market to homes and food tours from the offices to the markets, boxes with fresh products from farmers and local businesses, evening tours in chef restaurants and picking tours in the most worthwhile places,
Choice sites for gifts for employees, independent and digital tours that keep multiplying. Workshops, social, artistic, community collaborations. And the icing on the cake - a wine and events yard, in the midst of the Carmel market, in partnership with Tulip Winery and Chef Panda (Idan Feinburg)

At the height of a giraffe, the sky is no longer the limit.
