Massaya
Massaya is a Lebanese winery and arak distillery owned and operated by the Ghosn brothers Sami and Ramzi. Situated in the north of the Beqaa Valley near Chtaura and Zahlé, 38 km from Baalbek, the winery and distillery are located on the Tanaïl property, which is also home to vineyards and a restaurant. The Beqaa Valley has an extensive history of viticulture dating back over 5,000 years to the Phoenicians.〔McGovern, Patrick.E. "Uncorking the Past". University of California Press, 2009, Pg. 7.〕 The northern Bekaa has traditionally been a favoured terroir for viticulture,〔Karam, Michael (2005) ''The Wines of Lebanon'' Saqi Books〕 especially since the beginning of the last century.〔McGovern, Patrick.E. ''Uncorking the Past''. University of California Press, 2009, Pg. 7.〕 Vines have also been introduced in the southern Bekaa as part of the recent surge in the number of wineries established in Lebanon.〔http://www.lebanonwines.com/terroir.html〕
== The history of the estate==
The Tanaïl property was brought by Michel and Amal Ghosn in the early 1970s and was used by the family as a country retreat from their primary residence in Beirut. In line with tradition, it was planted table grapes, including indigenous varieties such as beitamouni and obeidi, used to produce home-made arak. It also had a kitchen garden growing mekti, an indigenous drought-resistant cucumber, and orchards.
The outbreak of the Lebanese Civil War in 1975 forced the family to leave the estate and both Sami and Ramzi Ghosn left Lebanon to study abroad. In the early 1990s Sami and Ramzi returned to Lebanon and decided to work on revitalisating the war-ravaged estate.
