Lebanon boasts one of the oldest winemaking traditions on the planet, with a history stretching back thousands of years. The heart of this production is the sun-drenched, high-altitude Bekaa Valley. This remarkable region produces wines of incredible depth, spice, and character that truly stand apart from the crowd.
The reds are the undeniable stars here, often blending classic French grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, and Cinsault to create rich, warming, and deeply savoury wines. They are incredibly food-friendly and perfect for pairing with roasted meats and bold spices. For white wine fans, Lebanon also offers brilliant, textured whites made from local grapes like Obaideh and Merwah, which deliver a completely unique, honeyed richness. If you want to step outside the usual regions and try something with genuine history and soul, Lebanese wines are a fantastic choice for the table.
