Another one of my peeps asked me about Lebanese wine. I know the 3 top Lebanese Vineyards and Wineries in Lebanon. But first some background! They all fall in the fertile Bekaa Valley, meaning shu? NOT IN OR NEAR BEIRUT! AHHHH! Hope that doesn't scare you off
MilKed201. The wineries are all in the valley, so your surrounded by mountains, ranches, farms, good food, good people and OPEN SPACE! Its a good break from Beirut and other large cities. You guys keep in mind i didn't write the following three "previews" of the Wineries myself, click the names and it'll take you to the site. I PLAGIARIZED! loool (but with good intentions, Milked201 is desperate to know quickly) :)
In Chateau Kefraya the yearly harvest begins between the 20th of August and the 1st of September, in accordance with samples taken from the vine. These samples are used to determine the optimum harvest period by measuring the amount of sugar naturally contained in the berries, the total acidity and the pH. Offices are in Beirut, but vineyards are in the town of Kefraya in the Western Bekaa Valley!

Over the past decade, Ksara has seen the introduction of new grape varieties that have grown into vines the Bekaa valley has blissfully nurtured. Ksara has also seen developments in technique such as vines cultivation on wires and the attentive application of advanced science by French oenologists, who watch over the vinification, fermentation and decanting processes.
