Come and meet Sami Ghosn from Tanaïl Winery, Lebanon on Saturday 6th June from 11am to 4pm!

Come and meet Sami Ghosn from Tanaïl Winery, Lebanon who makes the fantastic ‘Massaya’ wines on Saturday 6th June from 11am to 4pm.


Massaya is situated in Tanaïl, the heart of the Bekaa Valley, home to some of the oldest and most original motifs of ancient wines and wine-making. The Bekaa is once again proving it can produce great wines and Massaya, whose name is Arabic for the delicate beauty of the Bekaa’s twilight, with its French and Lebanese partners is proud to perpetuate this ancient tradition. Massaya bottles 5 wines per vintage: 1 rosé, 1 whites and 3 reds.

Massaya is a partnership of true pedigree. The wines are made by Sami Ghosn and his brother but the winery was set up with help from their friends at Château Cheval Blanc, Château Angélus and Château Le Vieux Télégraphe.

All five wines will be available for tasting and we are delighted to offer a discount on all purchases and orders taken on the day. This offer is for ONE DAY ONLY and is only available in-store.

This is such a fantastic opportunity to meet Sami. He is a wonderfully charismatic man who makes these outstanding wines!
