Itinerary
9.00 AM: Pickup from Beirut: Your private vehicle and professional guide will pick you up from your hotel in Beirut.
Established in 1995 on a hill overlooking the Bekaa valley, Château St Thomas estate is a vineyard spreading over sixty five hectares. Château St Thomas's role is creating a modern winemaking approach to create rich balanced wines with fresh aromas.
Château Kefraya was established in 1979, during Lebanon’s civil war. The vineyard situated at 1000 meters above sea level, on the foothills of Mount Barouk in the Bekaa Valley, is characterized by a stunning diversity of soil types.
Lebanon’s most famous wine producer, Ksara was founded in 1857 by Jesuit priests. It is Lebanon’s oldest and largest winery. Of course, one cannot describe Ksara without mentioning its iconic caves, a truly remarkable subterranean structure dating back to Roman times (most probably built at the same period as the temple of Bacchus in Baalbek nearby). These mile-and-a-half-long caves were used as cellars as they provided the ideal temperature and humidity levels to store the wines.
5:00 PM: Return to Beirut: After a full day of exploration, relax on the scenic drive back to Beirut, reflecting on your unforgettable day in Lebanon’s most iconic destinations.

About Beirut
Beirut is Lebanon's capital on a Mediterranean headland, a Phoenician port city with Roman remains and mountains rising close behind.
Beirut juts into the Mediterranean on a rocky headland, with the snow-streaked peaks of Mount Lebanon rising behind. Founded by the Phoenicians, it became the Roman city of Berytus, famed for its school of law, and the remains of Roman baths lie in the city centre. The Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque, with its blue domes, and the nearby churches of St George show the mix of faiths.
Top-ranked sights in Beirut: Jeita Grotto, Our Lady of Lebanon (Notre Dame du Liban), Byblos (Jbeil).
