Château St Thomas is a family winery founded in 1990 by Saïd Touma and his family. Saïd Touma, a passionate man, with 50 years’ experience in the distillation and fermentation of grape juice (both his father and grandfather were important producers of Arak the traditional Lebanese drink – also fruit of those vines) has inherited his father’s passion for vineyards and wines, and passed it on to his son Joe Assaad who studied winemaking in France (Montpellier; Bordeaux). The estate is located on a hill overlooking the Bekaa Valley at an altitude of more than 1000m. Its 65 hectares of vineyards are well exposed on the eastern slope of Mount Lebanon. The first vintage appeared in 1998. Château St Thomas invites you to taste our range of wines, especially: – Obeidy St Thomas, made from indigenous local white Lebanese variety; – The first Pinot Noir St Thomas bottle in Lebanon; – Château St Thomas, our high end red wine bottle (including different vintages).
Château St Thomas has become the pride of the wine industry in Lebanon. The wines have been awarded more than 85 Gold and Silver medals in prestigious international wine competitions since 2002.
