Private Baalbek Temples & Ksara Wine Tour | From Beirut

The Bekaa Valley has been producing two things in extraordinary quantities for over two thousand years — Roman architecture and Lebanese wine. This private guided day tour from Beirut combines the very best of both in a single, perfectly sequenced day. In the morning, stand inside Baalbek — the greatest Roman temple complex on earth, where stones heavier than anything a modern crane can lift were placed with such precision that they have stood for two millennia. In the afternoon, descend into the Roman cave cellars of Chateau Ksara — Lebanon's oldest winery, founded by Jesuit monks in 1857 — for a guided tour through 2 kilometres of ancient tunnels and a tasting of their finest wines. End the day in Zahle — the food and wine capital of the Bekaa — for a long, optional lunch on the famous Bardawni River terrace before the drive back to Beirut.
