From Ksara's underground caves to Massaya's terrace lunch
Lebanese wine is older than Christianity and somehow younger than the chip on its shoulder. The Bekaa Valley, an hour east of Beirut over the Mount Lebanon range, holds nine hundred years of continuous production and roughly fifty active producers today. These five are the case for a one-day pilgrimage.
Ksara for the Roman caves and the entry point. Kefraya for the lunch and the Comte de M. Massaya for the terrace and the Gold Reserve. Ixsir for the architecture (and a detour through Batroun). IXSIR closer to Byblos. End at Domaine des Tourelles, the country's oldest, for the perfect pour of Marquis des Beys.
