50 km north from the city of Beirut, lies a 2.5 hectare vineyard called Aurora in the eastern Mediterranean mountains of Batroun. The name Aurora is inspired by the nearby village of Aoura where the vines are grown, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and "Nahr al Jaws," or the "walnut river." The name also refers to the first appearance of light in the sky before sunrise: dawn. Today, Aurora is a boutique winery producing refined wines with a wide variety of products.
