In 1857 the Jesuits discovered an ideal place for growing grapes and producing wine which is the Bekaa Valley. They started producing small quantities of wine in Ksara where they built a monastery.  Then they started to import noble grapes from France and North Africa and thus, the production increased.

• The story of Château Kefraya

• Biography

We had our own wine made from our own grapes and from our own winery and thus from that point on we agreed to only use grapes from Kefraya.  We started with white wine, rosé wine, and red wine and the Kefraya Nouveau.  After this we created many more types of wine and now we have so many. We have three categories: Pleasure Wines, Feast Wines, and Prestige Wines.

The appeal of our wine is exactly what you have just said: natural products.  Our vineyards are certified organic; the grapes come to the winery and the whole process is completely natural without any additions of whatever products you could imagine except for very low levels of sulfites.
