Lebanon has been producing wine for over 6,000 years — longer than France, longer than Italy, longer than almost anywhere on earth. The Bekaa Valley, sitting at 1,000 metres above sea level between the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon mountain ranges, is where that ancient tradition lives today. On this private full-day tour, you will visit three of Lebanon's most celebrated wineries — Chateau Ksara, Chateau Kefraya, and Chateau Saint Thomas — for guided cellar tours and wine tastings that reveal why Lebanese wine is earning serious attention from critics worldwide.
This is not a bus tour. Your private vehicle, your group, and your own guide mean the day moves at your pace — lingering longer where the wine is exceptional, pausing for the mountain views, and finishing with an optional lunch in Zahle, the undisputed food and wine capital of the Bekaa Valley.

Beirut
9:00 AM — Departure from Beirut Your private guide and vehicle collect you from your Beirut hotel. The drive east through the Lebanese mountains toward the Bekaa Valley is itself part of the experience — climbing through cedar-forested slopes before the valley opens up dramatically below, stretching between two mountain ranges with vineyards as far as the eye can see.
Chateau St Thomas
Begin at Chateau Saint Thomas, one of the Bekaa Valley's most respected family-owned wineries, producing wines from vineyards that sit at over 1,000 metres altitude. The high elevation, cool nights, and intense Bekaa sunshine create conditions that produce wines of remarkable complexity and character. Your guided tour takes you through the vineyard and cellars before a tasting of their signature red, white, and rosé wines — including their acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignon and full-bodied reds that have earned medals at international competitions.
