Description

Winery

Château Ksara is the oldest and largest winery in Lebanon, founded in 1857 by the Jesuits. It was not until 1972 that the monks sold the estate, after which it underwent extensive modernization. Today, Château Ksara produces contemporary wines, mainly from French grape varieties, that are appreciated around the world.

The vineyards of Château Ksara are located in the fertile Bekaa Valley, on soils of limestone, red clay, and slate. The name refers to a fortress dating back to the Crusader era. From the very beginning, the Jesuits planted Cinsault, which remains one of the estate’s most important grape varieties to this day. Not only did the monks maintain the vineyards with great care, but they also accidentally discovered a two-kilometer-long Roman cave beneath the château, which they converted into an impressive wine cellar.

After the sale in 1972, four Lebanese families took over the estate and led it into a new era. Today, Château Ksara’s vineyards cover about 350 hectares, situated in a dry and sunny climate cooled by Mediterranean breezes. This ideal combination of sun, soil, and climate allows Château Ksara to operate entirely without herbicides. The estate cultivates a wide range of internationally renowned grape varieties, bringing both tradition and modern winemaking to full expression.
