The Bekaa Valley in one day — with wine at both ends. Chateau Saint Thomas in the morning: a respected high-altitude family estate whose international medal wins have established it as one of Lebanon's most consistent producers — a quiet, confident opener that sets the tone before Baalbek. The greatest Roman temples ever built in the middle, with an expert local guide who knows every column and every inscription. Chateau Ksara at the end: Lebanon's oldest winery, founded by Jesuits in 1857, where the Roman cave cellars beneath it close the day by connecting directly back to the temples you explored this morning.
Wine, temples, wine caves. The Bekaa structured as a single coherent story about what this valley has always been good at — producing extraordinary things. Private vehicle and knowledgeable driver throughout. Expert local guide at Baalbek. Tickets and tasting fees payable on site.

What To Expect
9:00 AM — Hotel pickup Your driver meets the group at your Beirut hotel and heads east on the Damascus highway — over the Lebanese mountains and into the Bekaa Valley. First stop is Chateau Saint Thomas, about an hour away.
Chateau St Thomas
Chateau Saint Thomas — high-altitude precision winemaking Begin at Chateau Saint Thomas — a respected family-owned estate producing wines from vineyards at over 1,000 metres altitude in the Bekaa. High elevation and cool nights create growing conditions of real complexity — wines that earn international medals and consistently surprise visitors who arrive expecting something more modest. The guided cellar tour covers the winemaking process before a tasting of the estate's acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignon, full-bodied red blends, and elegant whites. A quiet, confident opener that sets the right tone before Baalbek.
