Our wine list pays particular attention on Valais region crus, with references evolve along the vintage wines according to tastings at the local producers. Those local wines suit with pleasure with Mediterranean food. However, we offer you a great choice of Lebanese wines, from the mythical Domain of Château Musar, Château Ksara (the ancient caves of Jesuits’ domain date from 1857) and of course, from Château Kefraya. Some other domains more recently created like Massaya (co-ownership with Domain of Vieux Télégraphe" at Châteauneuf-du-Pape) are also present.

The French have so much contributed to the work quality’s improvement as well in vineyard. Nevertheless. Lebanon was already producing wine 4000 years ago. Byblos was actually a trade center where the ships left mainly to Egypt. We may then talk about Ancient World wines. Some local white grape variety, such as merwah or obaideh, are more than one-thousand-years old.
Lebanese vineyards take profit from an argillaceous-calcareous soil, a very dry clima and a lot of sun. They are cultivated up within 800 (2624 ft) and 1500 m (4921 ft) altitude, a particular circumstance that compensate the country’s geographic location.
