The Bekaa Valley is the heartland of modern Lebanese wine. Almost 90 percent of Lebanon's wine is made here, as is a respectable proportion of its Arak, the anise-flavored spirit that remains the nation's favorite alcoholic drink.
The original Bekaa Valley Vineyards were planted with Cinsaut, which was subsequently joined by other French vine varieties.
