Wines of Lebanon at 2011 London Wine Fair

Wines of Lebanon will be exhibiting for the first time at the 2011 London Wine Fair with a generic presence, as part of the first ever campaign to promote Lebanese wines which started last year. 

The stand will see eight wineries coming together to exhibit under the Wines of Lebanon banner at the Fair, with a masterclass hosted by Tim Atkin MW and Lebanese wine expert Michael Karam which will allow visitors to Discover Lebanon.

Tim Atkin comments: “Lebanon is one of the wine world's great secrets. I'm delighted to have the chance to talk about some of my favourites after an inspiring trip to the country, where I was captivated by the people, the architecture, the landscape and of course the best wines.”

The eight wineries exhibiting at the show are:

·         Chateau Ka

·         Chateau Ksara

·         Chateau St Thomas

·         Coteaux du Liban

·         Domaine des Tourelles

·         Domaine Wardy

·         IXSIR
