Batroun District (Arabic: البترون) is a district (qadaa) located in the North Governorate, Lebanon, south of Tripoli. Its capital is the city of Batroun, which is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Its natural borders are: in the south the El Jaouz river and in the north the Madfoun river.
The region is known for its vineyards located at an altitude of 1,300 meters, which helps grow high-quality grapes that are used to make wines that are intense in color and full of flavor.[1]
