About this experience

Lebanon has been making wine in the Bekaa Valley for over 6,000 years — and this private day trip visits three estates that represent the full range of what the valley produces today. Three completely different winemaking personalities. Three cellar tours. Three tastings. One private vehicle, one knowledgeable driver, and a day structured the way a serious wine trip should be. Chateau Saint Thomas first — the high-altitude family estate where international medal wins have established it as one of Lebanon's most consistent and most underrated producers. Chateau Kefraya next — 300 hectares of Bekaa vineyards and the legendary Comte de M blend that has placed Lebanese wine on serious international lists for decades. Chateau Ksara to close — Lebanon's oldest winery, founded by Jesuits in 1857, with 2 kilometres of Roman cave cellars that make the final stop the most memorable. Private vehicle exclusively yours throughout. Tasting fees payable directly at each winery.

What you'll see and do

  2. Chateau St Thomas

    Chateau Saint Thomas — the precision opener Start at Chateau Saint Thomas — a respected family-owned estate producing wines from vineyards at over 1,000 metres altitude. High elevation and cool nights create growing conditions of genuine complexity — wines that earn international medals and consistently surprise visitors who expect something more modest. The cellar tour covers the full winemaking process before a tasting of the estate's Cabernet Sauvignon, full-bodied red blends, and elegant whites. A quiet, focused opener that sets the right tone for what follows.

  3. Chateau Kefraya

    Chateau Kefraya — 300 hectares and the Comte de M Drive to Chateau Kefraya — one of the largest and most celebrated estates in Lebanon, with 300 hectares of vineyards across the Bekaa plain. The flagship Comte de M red blend is widely regarded as one of the finest wines produced in the Middle East — powerful, structured, and the kind of bottle that changes how people think about Lebanese wine. The cellar tour moves through impressive barrel rooms before a structured tasting covering the full Kefraya range — Comte de M, the aromatic whites, and the celebrated Muse rosé. The estate that has done most to establish Lebanon's international wine reputation, visited privately at your own pace.

  4. Chateau Ksara

    Chateau Ksara — Roman caves beneath Lebanon's oldest winery Save the most distinctive for last. Lebanon's oldest winery — founded by Jesuit monks in 1857 above 2 kilometres of Roman cave cellars discovered beneath the estate in the 19th century, where wine ages at a naturally constant temperature year-round. Walking through these ancient tunnels after two modern wineries is one of those genuinely unexpected shifts that makes a wine day in the Bekaa more interesting than it had any right to be. The tasting follows — Ksara's iconic Cabernet-Syrah blends, crisp Blanc de Blancs, and celebrated Sunset Rosé. Three wineries, three completely different personalities, one valley, done properly.

  5. Zahle

    Lunch in Zahle — optional The river restaurant terraces of Zahle — Lebanon's most celebrated food destination — serve some of the finest Lebanese mezze in the country, with the Bardawni River below and the Bekaa mountains above. Optional and at your own expense. After three cellar tours and three tastings, the argument for lunch writes itself.

  6. Beirut

    Return to Beirut — approx. 5:30–6:30 PM Drop-off at your Beirut hotel. Three of the Bekaa's finest estates, three cellar tours, three tastings — Lebanese wine done properly.

Private Bekaa Wine Tour | Saint Thomas, Kefraya & Ksara · Beirut: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beirut.

How much does Private Bekaa Wine Tour | Saint Thomas, Kefraya & Ksara · Beirut cost?

+

Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beirut usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Private Bekaa Wine Tour | Saint Thomas, Kefraya & Ksara · Beirut take?

+

Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beirut is not rushed.

Is Private Bekaa Wine Tour | Saint Thomas, Kefraya & Ksara · Beirut worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Beirut, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Private Bekaa Wine Tour | Saint Thomas, Kefraya & Ksara · Beirut?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Private Bekaa Wine Tour | Saint Thomas, Kefraya & Ksara · Beirut suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 16. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Private Bekaa Wine Tour | Saint Thomas, Kefraya & Ksara · Beirut?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beirut can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beirut and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Private Bekaa Wine Tour | Saint Thomas, Kefraya & Ksara · Beirut start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beirut within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Beirut?

+

On Outty we rank every Beirut experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Small-Group Tour to Baalbek, Anjar and Ksara with Lunch, Guided Small-Group Tour to Jeita, Harissa, Byblos with Lunch, Jeita Grotto,Harissa&Byblos Full-Day PRIVATE-CAR Trip from Beirut. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Beirut?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Beirut?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
