Private Bekaa Valley Wine Tour | 3 vingårde · Guidet fra Beirut
Beskrivelse
Libanon har produceret vin i over 6.000 år – længere end Frankrig, længere end Italien, længere end næsten overalt på jorden. Bekaa-dalen, der ligger 1.000 meter over havets overflade mellem to bjergkæder, er det sted, hvor den gamle tradition lever i dag. Denne private guidede tur fra Beirut tager dig til tre af dens mest berømte ejendomme - Chateau Saint Thomas, Chateau Kefraya og Chateau Ksara - for guidede kælderture og smagninger, der afslører det fulde dybde og sort af, hvad libanesisk vin kan være. Tre vingårde. Tre helt forskellige historier. En privat dag i dalen, der har produceret vin siden før fødslen af civilisationen som vi kender den - med en professionel guide, der gør hver kælder, hver årgang, og hvert glas betyder noget.

Rejseplan
9.00 - Afrejse fra Beirut Din professionelle guide og chauffør henter dig fra dit hotel i Beirut og leder østpå på Damaskus-vejen - klatre gennem de libanesiske bjerge, da Bekaa-dalen åbner dramatisk nedenfor, dets vinmarker og frugtplantager strækker sig mellem to bjergkæder under den høje Bekaa-sol.
Begynd ved Chateau Saint Thomas - en af Bekaa-dalen mest respekterede familieejede ejendomme, der producerer vine fra vinmarker i over 1.000 meters højde. Kombinationen af høj højde, kolde nætter og intens Bekaa sol skaber voksende forhold af bemærkelsesværdig kompleksitet - producerer vine, der konsekvent slår over deres vægt på den internationale scene. Den guidede kældertur tager dig gennem vinfremstillingen fra drue til flaske, og den efterfølgende smagsprøve præsenterer deres velrenommerede Cabernet Sauvignon, røde blandinger med hele kroppen og elegante hvide, der har tjent medaljer i internationale konkurrencer. En stille og imponerende åbning af dagen - og et vingård, der ofte overrasker besøgende, der ankommer og forventer noget mindre.
Fortsæt til Chateau Kefraya - en af de største og mest berømte vingårde i Libanon, med over 300 hektar vinmarker spredt over Bekaa-sletten. Kefraya er kendt for sin flagskib røde blanding Comte de M — bredt betragtet som en af de fineste vine produceret i Mellemøsten og en vin, der har tjent alvorlig kritisk opmærksomhed fra internationale publikationer. Den guidede tur bevæger sig gennem de store kældre og tøndeværelser før en struktureret smagsprøve, der viser ejendommens fulde rækkevidde - fra den magtfulde Comte de M til de aromatiske hvide og den berømte Muse rosé. For vinelskere, dette er Bekaa Valley på sin mest imponerende.
Det sidste vingård er Chateau Ksara - den ældste og mest historiske i Libanon, grundlagt af jesuit munker i 1857 og nu landets største vinproducent. Højden her er i modsætning til noget på de to foregående ejendomme - et ekstraordinært romersk hulekælder system strækker sig 2 kilometer under vingården, opdaget af jesuitterne i slutningen af det 19. århundrede og brugt siden for at aldring vin ved en naturligt konstant temperatur året rundt. Gå gennem disse gamle tunneler efter en hel dag med Bekaa vin er en af de mest mindeværdige kælderoplevelser i hele vinverdenen - delvis arkæologi, delvis sensorisk oplevelse, helt libanesisk. Smagen præsenterer Ksaras ikoniske Cabernet-Syrah blandinger, sprøde Blanc de Blancs og den elskede Sunset Rosé for at afslutte en dag, der har ført dig gennem tre meget forskellige udtryk for, hvad Bekaa kan producere.
Lunch i Zahle - Bruden af Bekaa Afslut dagen i Zahle - Libanons mest berømte mad og vin destination, kendt som bruden af Bekaa. De berømte restaurantterrasser langs floden Bardawni serverer nogle af de fineste libanesiske mezze i landet - generøse spreder af kolde og varme retter, grillet kød, frisk brød og lokale vine med den kølige bjergluft Bekaa og lyden af floden nedenfor. Efter tre kælderture og tre smagninger er frokosten i Zahle den eneste måde, dagen skal afsluttes på.
Tilbage til Beirut – ca. 5: 30–6: 00 PM Skøn køretur tilbage over de libanesiske bjerge med drop-off på dit hotel i Beirut - fuldfør en hel dag gennem tre af Bekaa-dalen fineste vingårde og en af verdens ældste vinproducerende regioner.

it was perfect parting moving from city to the mountain perfect weather lovely people love to live and cheer the Lebanese experience with the others good food
Thank you, Joseph, for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed the journey from city to mountain, the warm hospitality, and the delicious food. Your love for Lebanon shines through—long live Lebanon indeed! We hope to welcome you back soon for more unforgettable experiences.
We wanted to try some Lebanese wines and we weren’t disappointed! The tour company went out of their way to arrange some fantastic tastings with a range of Lebanese wine producers ranging from well known to up and coming. I can honestly say it was the best wine tasting experience I have ever had (and that’s saying something!). We also had some brilliant meals to go with the wine and learned so much about its production and the range of grapes grown in this amazing country. What’s more we also experienced the sights, sounds and history of Lebanon as we travelled safely with our amazing guide across the length and breadth of Lebanon. Our guide Albert couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating- nothing was too much trouble. Would I return? Yes and I urge anyone reading this review to make a booking now in the knowledge that they will have an experience they will never forget.
Thanks for taking a moment and writing a review for us! We are glad you had such a wonderful experience with us. All the best and thanks again!
Lebanon Tours were first class from pick up at airport to deliver back, one week later. Hussein Abdullah, the manager, provided efficient and clear email correspondence when arranging the tour. Once in country, the company did exactly as promised - the full itinerary delivered with care & attention to details by Albert, our excellent guide. In fact we were welcomed by all Lebanese we met and the country and facilities were first class for tourism. Sunshine, wine, food and a welcome - what's not to like?
Thanks for taking a moment and writing a review for us! We are glad you had such a wonderful experience with us. All the best and thanks again!
10 of us from the UK, members of a wine club, spent a week exploring Lebanon and it’s wine with Albert as our guide. We visited many vineyards both ones we knew and new ones. We received a first class service, with a real personal touch. The vineyards were really welcoming and gave us some truly memorable experiences. We were also treated to some of the most stunning ancient ruins I’ve ever seen and it was made all the more informative and entertaining by the local guides who took us round. The passion they had for their subject was fantastic . We were also treated to some amazing food both at some of the vineyards, restaurants and even a takeaway kebab in the Armenian quarter which was superb. We did so much in a relatively short time, but never felt rushed and had plenty of spare time to explore on our own. We all felt totally safe at all times. It really was a trip of a lifetime. Thanks to the boss Hussain, and his team , but especially to Albert, Mike and the other drivers. Lebanon and its people will stay in my heart for ever.
Thanks for taking a moment and writing a review for us! We are glad you had such a wonderful experience with us. All the best and thanks again!
I have used Hussein twice now, both times I was very happy with the service and quality of drivers and guides. On tours to Baalbeck, Byblos and Tyr tour of main site was provided by actual archeologist who gave detailed descriptions of each site, this was included in tour price, amazing. Lunch provided daily was always of excellent standard and taste. Hotel booking and airport transfers were as promised, no problems at all. In total I did 7 small group tours and enjoyed every trip, the wine tasting at Ixsir and Musar was one of the best I have ever done and I have had many around the world. I have now visited 70 countries and Lebanon easily goes into my top 5, thanks in part to quality guided tours as well as the beautiful places. I am very happy to recommend this company to anyone fortunate enough to visit Lebanon.
