Château Héritage
Bekaa Valley, Lebanon
- No.33 The World's 50 Best Vineyards 2025
Nowhere is the Middle East's ancient winemaking history more palpable than amid the ruins of the Temple of Bacchus – the Roman god of wine – in the Bekaa Valley. It lies just under an hour from Château Héritage, where the Touma family is ready to welcome you as one of their own with a stay in their nearby bed and breakfast. They will lead you on hour‑long vineyard hikes before wining and dining you with home‑cooked food from the farm, but it's also well worth exploring the surrounding village of Kab‑Elias, an archaeological treasure trove featuring the remains of an Ottoman citadel, a Roman altar and much more.
