With over 20 years of winemaking expertise, Château Cana welcomed Joanna Gerges, the third generation, in 2018, after graduating from l'Ecole Supérieur de Commerce de Paris (ESCP). With more than 12 years of experience in brand management and consulting she breathed new life into the business. marking a rebranding and a new chapter.
Despite Lebanon's challenges, Ms. Joanna remains steadfast in continuing her father's legacy, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and community. Today, both generations work hand in hand, preserving and expanding the winery's heritage.

“To help the local economy by shaping local tourism;
To encourage the Lebanese youth to stay in their country by providing them with opportunities;
To embolden local craftsmanship by building a sustainable environment for everyone in the region;
To push Lebanon’s name higher by focusing on exporting the products of Château Cana internationally and highlighting the fact that Lebanon has been producing wine for over 2000 years.
