Wines of Lebanon
We should not be surprised that this historic land produces wine, as it sits at the crossroads of ancient trade routes and the vine would have been brought here first before its onward journey to Greece and Rome.

Bekaa Valley
Viticulture in Lebanon was introduced 6000 years ago by the Phoenicians who traded their wines throughout the Mediterranean and planted the vine in southern Europe. The Bekaa Valley is almost frost and disease free, with long mild summers and wet winters. More often in the news as a flashpoint in middle eastern politics, the Bekaa valley has long been home to extensive vineyards. It is mainly due to the persistence of one man, Serge Hochar of Château Musar, who has persisted in the face of adversity for so long that his wines have won international acclaim and encouraged others into the vinegrowing business in this area.
