Domaine Des Tourelles
Founded in 1868 by French adventurer François-Eugène Brun, Domaine des Tourelles is Lebanon's oldest commercial winery — a living testimony to over 150 years of winemaking in the Bekaa Valley. Original 19th-century equipment, ancient concrete vats and organically farmed vineyards still shape the estate today. The Issa and Issa-el-Khoury families carry this heritage forward, blending tradition with contemporary innovation.
