Domaine des Tourelles
Bekaa Valley, Lebanon
About
Founded by a French engineer in 1868, this is Lebanon's oldest winery still in operation. Now run by the Issa family with winemaker Faouzi Issa, it produces elegant wines from indigenous Obaideh and Merwah grapes alongside Rhône varieties. They also make Lebanon's finest arak. The 19th-century stone cellars in Chtaura are atmospheric and beautifully preserved.
Why It's a Hidden Gem
Lebanon's oldest winery (1868), producing wines and arak in atmospheric 19th-century stone cellars that survived every conflict the Bekaa has endured.
