Top Lebanon Seasonal & Special Occasions - page 2

Lebanon has been making wine for 6,000 years. The Bekaa Valley — sitting at 1,000 metres altitude between two mountain ranges — is where it all happens today. This private day trip from Beirut takes you to three of the valley's best estates back to back: cellar tours, wine tastings, Bekaa Valley views, and an optional lunch in Zahle — the food and wine capital of Lebanon — before the drive home. Three wineries, three completely different personalities. Chateau Saint Thomas — the high-altitude family estate that punches above its weight internationally. Chateau Kefraya — 300 hectares of vineyards and the legendary Comte de M red that puts Lebanese wine on serious wine lists worldwide. Chateau Ksara — Lebanon's oldest winery, founded in 1857, with 2 kilometres of Roman cave cellars beneath it that are worth the drive alone. No wine expertise required. Just bring an open mind and a good appetite.
