Registration for Arak Tour by Vamos Todos
From Feb 19 to Mar 21, 2014
12:30am -> 11:30pm
12:30am -> 11:30pm
Enjoy an Arak tasting tour by Vamos Todos.
Arak, also called ‘the milk of lions’, is the national alcoholic drink of Lebanon. It is given this nickname because of its highly potent character. This colorless spirit is anis flavored, and turns to a milky-white liquid after water and/or ice are added. It is much sought after by those who indulge in good food, a good mood and the Mediterranean joie de vivre.
During this event, you will visit four important Arak factories. The tour starts by tasting Arak in the Massaya domain, which decided to revive the distillation of homemade Arak, and where the famous blue bottles of Arak turned into an instant success. Then, you will go to Clos St. Thomas and uncover an old and renowned brand of Lebanese Arak, Arak Touma, which is the result of over a hundred years of experience in the distillation of obeideh grapes and anis seeds.
Afterwards, you will head to Kefraya, for yet another special experience in Arak tasting. For the first time ever, the Arak karkeh at the domain will be open for public. After tasting Arak, you will have a very special lunch at the domain, and it will be accompanied with Arak. If the weather permits, you will also go have a tour in the domain by train.
At the last stop, you will uncover Arak Brun, which is widely renowned by the Arak experts and considered as the first and most important brand of Arak in Lebanon.
