Lebanese Wine Day (Journée du Vin Libanais) — a 3-day weekend in Lebanon

November. Beirut, Lebanon.

The weekend, day by day

  1. Day 1

    Arrive in Beirut

    Land at Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport (BEY), settle in and walk the old town in the afternoon. Light dinner near your accommodation — save your appetite for the festival day.

  2. Day 2

    Lebanese Wine Day (Journée du Vin Libanais)

    Festival day — arrive early to avoid the lunchtime crowd. Pace yourself across the tastings and break for a long lunch mid-afternoon.

  3. Day 3

    Wine country day in Lebanon

    Use the third day for a single winery visit (booked ahead) and a long lunch before heading home.

Insider tip

This is the only event where smaller Bekaa Valley producers like Domaine des Tourelles showcase rare library vintages from the 1990s—bring cash and arrive by mid-afternoon when the best bottles appear. The trade hour (before 3pm) offers one-on-one access to head winemakers impossible to reach otherwise.
