• Beirut - 9:00 AM — Departure from Beirut
  Your private driver will pick you up from your hotel in Beirut and travel north along the Mediterranean coastal highway. Chateau Musar is just a 30-minute drive away in Ghazir, situated above the sea in a 17th-century castle that has been producing wine since 1930.
• Château Musar - Step into the 17th-century castle that hosts one of the world’s most renowned wine estates. Established in 1930 by Gaston Hochar and brought to international prominence by his son Serge — who introduced Musar to the world at the Bristol Wine Fair in 1979 to immediate critical acclaim — the estate creates wines of remarkable complexity from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, and Carignan grapes cultivated in the Bekaa Valley. The guided cellar tour takes you through the historic stone cellars where wine matures for years before release, and the tasting that follows is unparalleled in Lebanon — a structured exploration of what makes Musar so uniquely distinctive, so deeply Lebanese, and so unlike anything else in the wine world. For anyone who has ever opened a bottle of Musar and wondered about its origins — this is the answer.
• IXSIR Winery / Tour and Tasting - Travel north to Bezbina and arrive at Ixsir — a winery that captivates visitors even before a single glass is poured. Built into 400-year-old stone terraces above the Mediterranean, the estate’s award-winning architecture seamlessly blends ancient hillside farming with contemporary design — and the views over the Lebanese coastline from the tasting terrace are truly breathtaking. The name is derived from the Arabic word for elixir, and the wines live up to it — internationally acclaimed, produced from grapes grown at various altitudes across Lebanon, and ranging from their elegant Grande Réserve red to aromatic whites and a celebrated rosé. The guided cellar tour unveils the meticulous craftsmanship behind wines that have earned medals at Decanter and the International Wine Challenge. A completely different experience from Musar — and equally unforgettable.
• Byblos - Lunch in Byblos — optional
  Conclude the day in Byblos — one of the oldest cities on earth — with a long, leisurely lunch at a waterfront restaurant overlooking the ancient fishing port. Enjoy fresh Lebanese mezze, grilled fish, and chilled white wine with medieval city walls reflected in the harbor beside you. After a morning of world-class wine, this is the perfect way to end the day.
• Beirut - Return to Beirut — approx. 5:00–6:00 PM
  Enjoy a scenic coastal drive back to Beirut with drop-off at your hotel — completing a day along Lebanon’s most beautiful northern coastline through two of the country’s most extraordinary wine estates.

Its signature red wine has graced Michelin-starred restaurants across Europe and America, earning praise from critics as one of the most intricate and age-worthy wines globally. The tale of founder Serge Hochar, who persevered in wine production during the Lebanese Civil War—once even facing armed threats while transporting his harvest—is legendary in the wine world.
