  Chateau St Thomas

  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

  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

  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.
