Château Musar Dinner

This event is sold out

We are delighted to be able to offer you the opportunity to taste some of the finest wine in the world.

Viticulture in Lebanon was introduced 6000 years ago by the Phoenicians who traded their wines throughout the Mediterranean and planted the vine in southern Europe. The vineyards of Château Musar are located at an altitude of over 3,000 feet (1,000 meters) in the Bekaa Valley where the vines are sheltered by the surrounding mountains running parallel to the Mediterranean coast. The red wines are made from a blend of different grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carignan.
The white wines are made from a blend of Obeideh and Merwah, which are native to the Bekaa Valley and Mount Lebanon. According to the legend, Obeideh and Merwah were taken back to Europe with the Crusaders and are the likely ancestors of Chardonnay and Semillon respectively.

Serge Hochar has won many awards for his extraordinary achievements, determination and dedication to producing wines during the difficult years of the Lebanese Civil War.
