Beqaa Valley
It is thanks to the two leading wineries of Chateau Musar and Chateau Kefraya that Lebanon is seen as a power, albeit a small one, in the wine world. These two estates have shown over the last few decades that top-quality wines that rival those of France’s best exports can be made in the hot region of Lebanon – not to mention the war that has been going on for many years now.
It is largely red wine country in the Bekaa Valley with specialists from Bordeaux and Chateaneuf-du-Pape lending their expertise to top estates. White and rose wines are made in smaller quantities though can, in the best years, produce fantastic results.
