The main attractions of Zahle and surroundings are the numerous wineries and vineyards. Most of them offer free tours and wine tasting, which at the smaller wineries need to be booked in advance.

If you have your own transportation, you can easily visit several wineries in one day. If you do not have your own car, take a bus from the Cola Intersection in Beirut to either Zahle or Chtaura, then change to a taxi to the desired winery.

Another option is to book a wine tasting tour with one of the local organizations. Click here for contact details and more information.
