This place has history! Founded in 1868 by French adventurer François-Eugène Brun, it is one of the most highly acclaimed and oldest wineries still operating in Lebanon. Two two local families - the Issa and Issa el-Khoury families - joined forces to buy the property in 2003 and continue the fine tradition of winemaking. The young and dynamic team have introduced a handful of practices in the vineyards and cellar including the use of indigenous natural yeasts, no fining or filtering, and only very small amounts of sulphur. These techniques along with fruit from organically cultivated and dry-farmed vineyards (among the oldest in the valley) and a winery perfect for hands-off winemaking, make Domaine des Tourelles one of the finest boutique wineries in the Middle East.
