Overview
Lebanon has been making wine in the Bekaa Valley for over 6,000 years — and this private day trip visits three estates that represent the full range of what the valley produces today. Three completely different winemaking personalities. Three cellar tours. Three tastings. One private vehicle, one knowledgeable driver, and a day structured the way a serious wine trip should be.
Chateau Saint Thomas first — the high-altitude family estate where international medal wins have established it as one of Lebanon's most consistent and most underrated producers. Chateau Kefraya next — 300 hectares of Bekaa vineyards and the legendary Comte de M blend that has placed Lebanese wine on serious international lists for decades. Chateau Ksara to close — Lebanon's oldest winery, founded by Jesuits in 1857, with 2 kilometres of Roman cave cellars that make the final stop the most memorable. Private vehicle exclusively yours throughout. Tasting fees payable directly at each winery.

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 winery is about an hour away.
Chateau St Thomas
1h · Admission ticket not included
Chateau Saint Thomas — the precision opener
Start at Chateau Saint Thomas — a respected family-owned estate producing wines from vineyards at over 1,000 metres altitude. High elevation and cool nights create growing conditions of genuine complexity — wines that earn international medals and consistently surprise visitors who expect something more modest. The cellar tour covers the full winemaking process before a tasting of the estate's Cabernet Sauvignon, full-bodied red blends, and elegant whites. A quiet, focused opener that sets the right tone for what follows.
Chateau Kefraya
1h · Admission ticket not included
Chateau Kefraya — 300 hectares and the Comte de M
Drive to Chateau Kefraya — one of the largest and most celebrated estates in Lebanon, with 300 hectares of vineyards across the Bekaa plain. The flagship Comte de M red blend is widely regarded as one of the finest wines produced in the Middle East — powerful, structured, and the kind of bottle that changes how people think about Lebanese wine. The cellar tour moves through impressive barrel rooms before a structured tasting covering the full Kefraya range — Comte de M, the aromatic whites, and the celebrated Muse rosé. The estate that has done most to establish Lebanon's international wine reputation, visited privately at your own pace.
Chateau Ksara
1h · Admission ticket not included
Chateau Ksara — Roman caves beneath Lebanon's oldest winery
Save the most distinctive for last. Lebanon's oldest winery — founded by Jesuit monks in 1857 above 2 kilometres of Roman cave cellars discovered beneath the estate in the 19th century, where wine ages at a naturally constant temperature year-round. Walking through these ancient tunnels after two modern wineries is one of those genuinely unexpected shifts that makes a wine day in the Bekaa more interesting than it had any right to be. The tasting follows — Ksara's iconic Cabernet-Syrah blends, crisp Blanc de Blancs, and celebrated Sunset Rosé. Three wineries, three completely different personalities, one valley, done properly.
Zahle
1h
Lunch in Zahle — optional
The river restaurant terraces of Zahle — Lebanon's most celebrated food destination — serve some of the finest Lebanese mezze in the country, with the Bardawni River below and the Bekaa mountains above. Optional and at your own expense. After three cellar tours and three tastings, the argument for lunch writes itself.
Beirut
