Wines of Lebanon: Nothing Stops the Harvest

The Bekaa Valley has been producing wine for thousands of years. It has survived Phoenician traders, Roman conquest, Ottoman rule, French colonization, civil war, economic collapse, and a port explosion that shook the entire eastern Mediterranean.

Nothing Stops the Harvest is a deep dive into Lebanese wine through the lens of the people who refuse to stop making it. We'll taste through a focused flight of producers who represent the full arc of Lebanese wine: its ancient roots, its unlikely survival, and its quietly radical present.

What to expect:

A guided tasting of wines from three producers — Mersel, Sept, and Chateau Musar — alongside the history, geography, and human stories that make Lebanese wine unlike anything else in the world. We'll talk about the Bekaa Valley as a place, about what it means to farm organically at 1,700 meters when your country is in freefall, and about why Lebanon keeps producing some of the most alive, urgent wine being made anywhere right now.

This class is for you if:
— You want wine to mean something
— You've never tried Lebanese wine and want to start somewhere real
— You already love Musar and want to know what comes next
— You believe the best way to understand history is to drink it
