The story of the Château Nakad Winery originates in a family of three generations of winemakers from the Bekaa Valley, with a passion for earth, wine and grapes. In 1923, during the French mandate over Lebanon, Joseph Nakad's wine became a favorite among the French soldiers deployed, and for that, wine manufacturing operations began at a high level and in large quantities to cover all the requirements of individuals. The Nakad family currently produces red, pink, white and sweet wines in addition to the traditional Lebanese anise drink, and another great innovation of the winery is Avandello, an artisanal orange flavored drink, which today is one of the most sought after and exported varieties.
