Three destinations that cover Lebanon's most dramatic natural, spiritual, and viticultural extremes — underground, mountaintop, and vineyard — in a single private day from Beirut.

Harissa sits 650 metres above the Mediterranean, reached by cable car, crowned by the iconic bronze statue of Our Lady of Lebanon. Ixsir is one of Lebanon's most architecturally striking modern wineries — built into a hillside above Batroun, producing award-winning wines from high-altitude vineyards across the Lebanese mountains.
Private vehicle and knowledgeable local driver exclusively for your group throughout the day. Tasting fees and entrance tickets payable on site. Optional lunch stop in Byblos on the return to Beirut.

    Jeita Grotto

    Jeita Grotto — UNESCO tentative site · New 7 Wonders finalist Two cave systems, two completely different experiences. The upper cave on foot — an elevated walkway through stalactites and stalagmites up to 8 metres tall, carved by water over millions of years into formations of extraordinary scale and beauty. The lower cave by silent electric boat — gliding along an underground river through chambers where the stillness is total. One of the most spectacular natural experiences in the Middle East — and 30 minutes from Beirut. Entrance fee payable on site. Photography not permitted inside. Lower cave boat ride may close during high water seasons.
