Opening times, essentials, and a few local tips gathered into one calmer, easier-to-scan planning section.
Walking
From the center of Aley, head east on the main street (Beirut Road) towards the roundabout. At the roundabout, take the second exit to continue on Beirut Road. Walk straight for approximately 1.5 kilometers until you reach the sign for Ksara. Follow the signs to your left, which will lead you onto a smaller road heading towards the winery.
Taxi
If you prefer to take a taxi, find a taxi stand or flag down a taxi from the street. Tell the driver 'Ksara Winery' or show them the address if you have it written down. The ride should take around 10 minutes from central Aley. Make sure to confirm the fare before you start your journey.
Public Transport (Bus)
From Aley, locate the bus station near the main square. Look for a bus heading towards Zahle or Baalbek; these buses often stop near Ksara. Board the bus and ask the driver to let you know when you reach Ksara, or simply keep an eye out for the signs as you approach the area. The bus ride will take approximately 20-30 minutes depending on traffic.
