• Beirut - 9:00 AM — Departure from Beirut
  Your private English-speaking driver will pick you up from your hotel in Beirut and drive north along the Mediterranean coastal highway. This is one of Lebanon’s most picturesque routes, with the sea on one side and the Lebanese mountains on the other, leading to Chateau Musar in Ghazir.
• Château Musar - Start at one of the world’s most renowned wine estates. Chateau Musar was established in 1930 by Gaston Hochar and gained international recognition through his son Serge, who introduced Musar at the Bristol Wine Fair in 1979 to immediate acclaim. The estate’s flagship red wine, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, and Carignan, is aged for seven years before release and is produced in limited quantities. Many critics consider it one of the most complex and age-worthy red wines globally. The guided cellar tour takes you through the historic cellars beneath the 17th-century castle where the wine is aged, followed by a tasting that highlights what makes Musar so unique.
• Ixsir - Continue north to Ixsir, one of Lebanon’s most visually stunning wineries, built into a 400-year-old terraced hillside near Batroun with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean. The name Ixsir is derived from the Arabic word for “elixir,” and the winery lives up to its name by producing elegant, internationally acclaimed wines from grapes grown at various altitudes across Lebanon, from the Bekaa Valley to the high mountain terraces. The winery’s architecture is award-winning, seamlessly blending modern design with ancient stone terraces. The guided cellar tour reveals the meticulous winemaking process behind wines that have won medals at Decanter, the International Wine Challenge, and other prestigious competitions. The tasting features their signature Grande Réserve red, aromatic whites, and celebrated rosé.
• Batroun - Lunch in Batroun — Phoenician coastal town
  Conclude the day with a leisurely lunch in Batroun, one of the oldest Phoenician cities in the world, founded over 3,000 years ago and now one of Lebanon’s most charming coastal towns. The old town’s stone streets, ancient Phoenician sea wall, and waterfront restaurants provide the perfect setting for a relaxed lunch of fresh Lebanese mezze and seafood. Batroun is also renowned as the home of Lebanon’s craft beer scene, the perfect complement after a morning of wine tasting. Your driver knows the best spots that tourists rarely discover.
• Beirut - Return to Beirut — approx. 5:00–6:00 PM
  Enjoy a scenic coastal drive back south to Beirut with drop-off at your hotel, completing a full day along Lebanon’s stunning northern coastline, through two of the country’s most remarkable wineries and one of its oldest Phoenician towns.

Chateau Musar is not just a prominent Lebanese winery; it is one of the most renowned and frequently discussed wine estates globally. Critics have praised its wines as some of the most unique and intricate available anywhere. The tale of founder Serge Hochar, who persisted in wine production during the Lebanese Civil War—once even facing a gunpoint threat at a checkpoint while transporting his harvest—is legendary in the wine world. Visiting Musar is a must for any dedicated wine enthusiast.

The tour proceeds north from Musar along the Lebanese coast to Ixsir, a winery noted for its stunning architecture. It is nestled into a 400-year-old terraced hillside above the Mediterranean near Batroun, offering breathtaking sea views comparable to those in Tuscany or Provence. After guided tours and tastings at both estates, the journey includes lunch in Batroun, where the ancient sea wall and lively old town provide an ideal stop before returning to Beirut.
