Cave Kouroum vineyards lie on the eastern slope of the Barouk Mountain

In the heart of the Bekaa on the slope of the Barouk Mountain lies the village of Kefraya. Known for many decades as the major supplier of grapes to be used in wine production, the village was and still the annual meeting place of the wine merchants in search of grapes.In his hometown, Mr Bassim Rahal started his first step as a negotiator of sales of most of the grape harvest, many producers looked to him for guidance and help. In 1998 Mr. Rahal made the risky decision to start a new winery. Thus, Cave Kouroum was born and the 1998 vintage (Brut de Cuve) was an especial pride and joy, receiving extensive appraise at Vinexpo Bordeaux in 2001.

Like a modern day cathedral in the heart of the Kefraya Village nestled at the western slope of the Barouk Mountain, Cave Kouroum overlooks the valley with its majestic modern architecture. The result is an impressive building tied together at different levels in a play of natural light and shadow aesthetics.

Covering an area of 7500m2 the ultra modern winery holds an annual capacity of 4 million liters. The upper part of the building has a large and elegant patio with a tasting room for visitors whereas the totality of the lower part is devoted to vinification and ageing of wine.

This state of the art winery is deemed to be the most modern vinification facility featuring the latest technologies and gaining a reputation for growing high quality grapes and producing world class wine.

Cave Kouroum vineyards lie on the eastern slope of the Barouk Mountain at an altitude of 900 m above sea level covering an area of 80 hectares.

Our vineyards are a combination of sun, soil and soul; they offer the best premium wine associated with a minimal vineyard manipulation and intervention coupled with distinctive natural attributes. Most of the vineyards are inclined eastwards to allow for maximum sun exposure. The soil is granular clayey calcareous with a pH of 8.2.
