Discover more about Massaya Lebanese Winery Tanaïl Bekaa Lebanon

Massaya Winery, located in Tanaïl in the Bekaa Valley, is a testament to Lebanon's rich winemaking heritage, dating back thousands of years to the Phoenicians. In 1992, the Ghosn brothers, Sami and Ramzi, reclaimed their family's land and established the winery, revitalizing a region that had suffered during the Lebanese Civil War. With the help of French partners, the Brunier family of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the Hebrard family, formerly of Château Cheval Blanc, Massaya quickly rose to the top echelon of Lebanese wine producers. Massaya combines tradition with modern technology to create distinctive wines and arak. Visitors can tour the vineyards and winery, witnessing the journey of the grapes from pressing and crushing to bottling and labeling. The on-site distillery offers a glimpse into the production of arak, a traditional Lebanese spirit. The tasting room provides panoramic views of the vineyards and mountains, enhancing the tasting experience. Massaya's Tanaïl property offers a serene escape where visitors can explore the vineyards, learn about the winemaking process, and savor the flavors of Lebanon. The winery also has a restaurant and wine bar. Massaya is more than just a winery; it's an experience that embodies Lebanese culture, hospitality, and the enduring spirit of the Bekaa Valley.
