Some places are “must-sees.” Others are “must-feel.” This day is both.
We’ll start with two of Lebanon’s most iconic spots: Harissa and Jeita; and then take a beautiful turn into the mountains for something slower and more personal. We’ll visit a small family-run winery hidden in the hills, where stories are shared as warmly as the wine. There’ll be home-cooked food, a vineyard walk, and a little peek into how wine (and even soap) is lovingly made here.
It’s a classic day trip, but with soul.

We’ll begin the day with a visit to Harissa for some of the most beautiful views on the coast. You can walk around the iconic statue of Saint Mary, step into the peaceful little church, and enjoy one of the best panoramas Lebanon has to offer.
Next, we’ll explore Jeita Grotto — a place that feels like it belongs in a dream. Massive caves, flowing water, and a peaceful boat ride through an underground river. It’s cool, quiet, and just magical.
We’ll head into the mountains of Kesrouan, where a small family-run vineyard welcomes us like old friends. We’ll meet the winemaker and his wife, stroll through the vines, and enjoy a simple, home-cooked lunch in their garden; the kind of meal that’s made with so much love. Over lunch (and wine), we’ll learn more about how they make their natural wines, walk through the property, and hear from the lovely wife about how she makes soap by hand. This place and these people fill the heart with so much warmth.
After a day full of beauty, flavor, and fresh mountain air, we’ll head back to Beirut, just a little more in love with Lebanon.
