Château Héritage
Bekaa Valley, Lebanon
Nowhere is the Middle East’s ancient winemaking history more palpable than amid the ruins of the Temple of Bacchus – the Roman god of wine – in the Bekaa Valley. It is just under an hour from Château Héritage, where the Touma family is ready to welcome you as one of its own with a stay in their nearby bed and breakfast. They will lead you on hour-long vineyard hikes before wining and dining you with home-cooked food from the farm, but it’s worth exploring the surrounding village of Kab-Elias further, an archeological treasure trove featuring remains of an Ottoman citadel, Roman altar and much more.
