Hiking Trip - Kfarmechki Hike and Wine Tasting - West Bekaa

  • Kfarmechki
    Hike & Wine Tasting

    This time, we're venturing to West Bekaa, specifically the village of Kfarmechki. Situated near Rachaya al Wadi, this small village boasts two magnificent Roman temples, which serve as the village's main attractions.
    Kfarmechki is also renowned for its bountiful local products, lovingly prepared by its residents. At the conclusion of our hike, we'll have the opportunity to purchase and savor these delightful local products.

    All levels will commence together from the village's central square. We'll visit the village's main church and then proceed with our hike, passing by three hills that offer panoramic views of the entire village and its surrounding area. Along the way, we'll encounter numerous caves and old wells until we reach the first Roman temple.

    Subsequently, we will be divided into two groups:
    Level 4+ will enjoy their lunch break near the temple. Afterwards, they will travel by bus to the farms of Kfarmechki, where Arak and wine are produced.

    Level 6 will continue on foot through the Kfarmechki plain to observe the vineyards. They will then proceed to the farms and join the other group for a special homemade wine and Arak tasting session!
    Following that, we will enjoy lunch together, savoring homemade local cuisine at a charming local restaurant.
