Grape Vines Project

Debbane Frères enjoys an area of 20 ha planted seedless table grapes shielded with plastic covers. Those fields are distributed over two locations: Bekaa valley (grown at 1000 m altitude) and South Lebanon (grown at 400 m altitude).

Every year, from June to October, farms produce high quality grapes using the newest technologies up to the highest Global Gap standards and in compliance with the MRL norms.

The purpose of plastic covers is to provide homogeneous and top quality clusters, while also shielding and protecting table grapes from weather hazards, such as hail frost, sunburns, and dust.
