Northeastern Lebanon

Bekaa Valley

Bekaa Valley, which produces the majority of all Lebanese wine, has all the makings of a world-class wine zone: The two mountain ranges that flank the narrow valley reach to some serious elevations and protect the vines from harsh weather from either the Mediterranean to the west or the desert to the east. The altitude of vineyards average around 1,200 meters which allow for wide diurnal temperature swings in what is otherwise a hot, dry, sunny climate.
