La brocante de Hammana

Nestled within the heart of Hammana village stands an enchanting, captivating, and hospitable emporium – the Brocante de Hammana. Here, visitors are invited to embark on a treasure-hunting journey that uncovers gems from all walks of life.

The story began in Paris, where Patricia Elias, the founder of La Brocante de Hammana, was venturing into bookstores, unearthing remarkable tomes. She has a passion for books (Patricia also co-founded Rawiya publishing house in Beirut), and she describes them as "time-worn, perused by unnamed individuals whose life stories remain enigmatic to me."

One day, she discovered a century-old bookmark nestled within a weighty Pascal tome. "I felt swept away by time, a witness to a bygone era that only objects possess the voice to recount. This is where my fervor for flea markets originated – the pursuit of beauty, rarity, and the extraordinary."

Confronted with an ever-growing collection of objects, Patricia decided to unite them within a unique space, where everyone could discover and select these treasures. "My brocante was conceived to gather, share, trade, and send my discoveries journeying," she explains.

Ardoum Winery

Inspired by the wine presses surrounding his village Mtein, an environment abundant with wineries, a fertile soil of good men & blessings, on a green hill dressed in pine trees and a climate just perfect to produce the right essence, Joseph Khairallah absorbed the riches of the mountain he grew up in to become a wine-maker himself.

Vision, Strong Will, Determination, Sacrifice, Passion, Loyalty, Perseverance and Love are the main pillars upon which he created his legacy with his bare hands.

30 years of knowledge, experience and ever-growing care passed on to his son Christian who got influenced by the power of his old man’s labor.

The pulse of this winery pumped stronger when Christian met Jacky, the love of his life. Jacky with her involvement in nature and outdoor activities, more prominently hiking on the mountain trails, and her support and belief in local products and homemade businesses, a wider horizon sprung for this wine family and new boundaries emerged taking Joseph’s vision to the next level.

Nothing is impossible for those willing – a wheel that will never stop spinning and a winery that will always see life through the children of Christian and Jacky, the legacy that got carried on from one generation to another.

Château Nakad

The story of Château Nakad is first and foremost that of a family, of three generations of winemakers from the Bekaa Valley, whose blood runs with passion for soil, wine and grapes.

In 1923, during the French Mandate in Lebanon, Joseph Nakad’s wine became a favourite among France’s deployed soldiers. The contingent commissioned large quantities of his fresh and lively vintages to lift the spirits of the troops.

Then, his son Salim took over the business. In his hands Château Nakad became one of the leading enterprises on the Lebanese wine scene.

Today, Joseph’s grandchildren, guided by their father Salim, are ensuring the prosperity of the label, consolidating its reputation both within Lebanon and on the international wine market.

The winery is located in the village of Jdita/Chtaura, in the Bekaa Valley, near the most fertile farmlands of the region. More importantly, it is built on the remains of wine cellars dating back to the Bronze Age.

The Nakad family currently produces red, rosé, white and sweet wine as well as the traditional Lebanese anisette liquor, Arack As-Samir. Another outstanding recent creation is the winery’s very own Afandello, an artisanal orange-flavoured liquor.

Another recent masterpiece, is the MISK, a mastiha liquor, as well as AREEJ, a Gin inspiration.
