Lebanon
Lebanon’s winemaking heritage is as ancient as its history, with roots stretching back to the Phoenician era, when wine was traded across the Mediterranean as early as 1200 BC.
The country’s wines are a reflection of its rich past and the influence of French viticulture during the period of the French protectorate from 1916 to 1943. Today, Lebanon boasts around 5,000 hectares of vineyards, producing approximately 78,500 hectolitres of wine annually, with red wines constituting over 70% of the production. The Bekaa Valley, with its favorable climate and terroir, is the heart of Lebanese winemaking, home to renowned wineries like Château Ksara and Château Musar.
These wines are celebrated for their unique profiles, often blending traditional Lebanese grape varieties with international ones, resulting in wines that carry the essence of Lebanon’s diverse landscape and storied history
