Massaya is the essence of modern-day Lebanon. Through the quality of our wines, the native flavors of our food and the warmth of our hospitality, we deliver a message of refinement, happiness and welcome.
While we have drawn on the experience of our two French partners – Hebrard in Bordeaux and Brunier in Chateauneuf-du-Pape – we are at heart winemakers of Lebanon. Our ancestors and our land are our inspiration.
One of the great monuments to our art is the Temple of Bacchus on the impressive Roman site at Baalbeck. Although our ancestors, the Phoenicians, mastered early age vine farming and wine making and anchored Lebanon as a wine cradle, the temple stands as a tribute to the importance of vines in our culture.
At Massaya, we have made it our goal to be heirs of these pioneers of the Mediterranean and makers of wine. We are building on tradition with a commitment to a brand that carries the good name of Lebanon to the world.
We rely on our honesty and integrity to achieve our aims. We commit to being industrious and self-sufficient, and we value team spirit among our staff. Raising the quality standard is an ongoing crusade and we encourage the creativity of everyone who works for us.
Nature is sacred to us. We are doing all that we can to reverse the environmental abuses of past generations and to bring new life to land that has been neglected.
Through the quality of our products and the reputation of our brand, we hope to emphasize the very joyful, creative and hospital side of Lebanon. We are always open, transparent, and pleased to welcome visitors to our wineries in the Beqaa and at Faqra. We believe that wine, arak, and food can help spread the word that Lebanon’s true spirit is one of tolerance and coexistence.
