We had a fabulous experience at the Coteaux du Liban. The owner gave us a fantastic overview of the history of the winery and how her husband had grown the winery up. You could feel his passion coming through her and the impact this has on the wines they produce. She was very hospitable during our visit in spite of us arriving without booking in advance. We tasted some fabulous wines that afternoon, and the whole experience was highly recommended - this is a definite winery to go to in Lebanon, and I would thoroughly recommend to anyone to go. A fantastic tasting all around! I would definitely recommend booking up, as we were lucky the owner was around when we visited, but if you book up then you won't be disappointed!

Chateau Ksara, the country's oldest winery, founded in 1857 by Jesuit Fathers. In August 1973, sold to a consortium of Lebanese businessmen Chateau Ksara's motto is "Modernity in Tradition". It is an idea that captures perfectly our position as Lebanon's oldest winery and the pioneering spirit that has kept Chateau Ksara at the forefront of Lebanon's wine industry, for over 156 years. Today's wine drinkers are both informed and discerning, and therefore we are committed to producing quality wines - varietals and blends made from our 25 local and international varieties - that will satisfy all palates and suit all occasions. Not only are our wines made to the most exacting standards with state of the art equipment, they also reflect the terroir of the Lebanon's historic Bekaa Valley, an area that has been making wine for over 2,000 years. It is a legacy that we respect with every bottle we make. Brand values The name of Chateau Ksara has become associated with the three core values: tradition, nobility and modernity. These are emphasized through name and lineage (tradition); through a high-quality product (nobility) and the tremendous innovative advances made since 1991 (modernity).

This really is a wonderful day out in Lebanon. Such a contrast to the city and beach life of Beirut. The staff are friendly and welcoming and worth going on the tour as well to the tombs. As for trying the wine it’s fantastic. Yalla go!
