More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low-slung van drops you at the iron gate and the Bekaa opens wide: a flat ribbon of fields hemmed by dark, serrated mountains while rows of grapevines lean into the sun. The tour threads three distinct estates — Kefraya, Chateau St. Thomas and Ksara — each with its own cellar rhythm and tasting room chatter. You move from vine to barrel to cup, with a guide translating terroir into taste.
