Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 148 reviews
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).

One of the nicer wine tasting experiences we had.
Our group came unannounced on a weekend and were given a private tour by one of the wine estates' family members. She was warm, knowledgeable and very patient considering the range of questions.
Their wines are lovely and we all ended up purchasing a couple.

The Domaine des Tourelles Winery looks to be one of the oldest wineries in the Chtaura Valley. They are currently refurbishing their ground floor wine areas and are doing their wine tasting in the rear garden patio. You must make a reservation during this time as they are not too organized on the day we visited them.
We did not come back for our tour and wine tasting as we looked at their current price list and the few wines they have seem to be over-priced by Lebanese standards.
We plan to make another trip to Chtaura and a full tour of the Domaine des Tourelles Winery is expected.
At this time, Spring of 2017, I strongly suggest you wait for a few months before trying to enjoy a wine tasting at the Domaine des Tourelles Winery.
