Mobile ticket
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.

What To Expect
Beirut
9:00 AM — Departure from Beirut Your driver picks you up from your Beirut hotel and heads east on the Damascus highway — climbing through the Lebanese mountains as the Bekaa Valley opens below, a vast fertile plain that has been growing grapes since before recorded history.
Chateau St Thomas
Chateau Saint Thomas — the one that surprises everyone Start at Chateau Saint Thomas — a respected family-owned estate producing wines from vineyards at over 1,000 metres altitude in the Bekaa. The combination of high elevation, cool nights, and intense Bekaa sunshine creates growing conditions of serious complexity — wines that consistently earn international medals and surprise visitors who arrive expecting something more modest. The guided cellar tour walks you through the full winemaking process before a tasting of their acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignon, full-bodied red blends, and elegant whites. A quiet, confident opener that sets the right tone for the day.
