Caves de Fakra
The Wine That Touches the Sky
"Phoenician Heritage in the Heights: Majestic wines born over 1,500 meters high, where the snow of Mount Sannine and the Mediterranean sun create a mystical elegance."
Ancient Identity and High-Altitude Terroir
Founded in 1985 in the heart of Kfardebian, Caves de Fakra stands as a bulwark of modern Lebanese viticulture. Its name pays homage to the archaeological site of Fakra, home to Roman temples and Phoenician altars. By cultivating vineyards at altitudes that challenge conventional limits (up to 1,500 masl), the winery achieves a slow and polyphenolic maturation, resulting in wines of exceptional freshness and longevity.
Lebanon is considered the historical cradle of wine trade. According to the Union Vinicole du Liban (UVL), the terroir of Mount Lebanon, with its Jurassic limestone soils and extreme climate, grants blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah a unique vertical minerality. This ancient heritage merges today with cutting-edge techniques to position Fakra on the map of great Mediterranean wines.
