Two of Lebanon's most distinctive destinations — one private guided day from Beirut. Chateau Musar is arguably the most celebrated winery in the Middle East — a family estate that kept producing wine through Lebanon's Civil War and whose Cabernet-Cinsault blend has been listed among the greatest wines in the world. Byblos is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth — 7,000 years of unbroken settlement, the city that gave the world its alphabet, and one of the most rewarding archaeological sites in the Mediterranean.

A private tour means the vehicle, the guide, and the day are exclusively yours — your pace, your questions, your itinerary. Chateau Musar's cellar tour and tasting in the morning. Byblos Castle, its extraordinary archaeological layers, and the ancient fishing port in the afternoon. Optional lunch in Byblos between the two. Entrance tickets included throughout.

Chateau Musar — the winery that never stopped Founded in 1930 by Gaston Hochar and made famous by his son Serge — who arrived at the Bristol Wine Fair in 1979 and stunned the international wine world with a Lebanese red nobody had heard of. Chateau Musar continued producing through Lebanon's Civil War, missing only two vintages in fifteen years of conflict. The estate sits in the Bekaa foothills, producing its iconic Cabernet-Cinsault-Cinsaut blend from some of the oldest ungrafted vines in the world. Your guide covers the full Musar story — the family, the war years, the international recognition — before the cellar tour and a tasting of the wines that put Lebanon on the world wine map.
