Lebanon's heartland wine region — the Bekaa Valley — celebrates its grape harvest with open-cellar days at major estates including Château Ksara, Château Kefraya, and Domaine des Tourelles. The Bekaa's unique terroir at 1,000m elevation, with 300 days of sunshine and cool nights, produces distinctive reds from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, and indigenous varieties. Harvest picnics in the vineyards with panoramic views of the Anti-Lebanon Mountains are the highlight.
