In the Greco-Roman era, a wine cult flourished, as the ruins of the Temple of Bacchus at Baalbeck in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley bear eloquent witness. The property Ksara was acquired by the Jesuit Fathers in 1857 when it was already famed as a vineyard and they perpetuated the tradition of winemaking. New varietals, enjoying the exceptional climatic conditions in the Bekaa, were cultivated at KSARA and later at Tanail, an estate of 240 hectares (600 acres) which also belonged to the Jesuit Fathers and which sent all its grapes to KSARA's cellars. They now have 4 main vineyards where they produce red wine, rose wine, white wine, sweet wine, and arak.
