Syrian wine is wine produced in Syria.

As of 2023, there is only one commercial vineyard in Syria, Domaine de Bargylus.

Syria has an old wine culture. A grape press, dates back around 8,000 BC is the oldest preserved wine relic, which was found near Damascus. During the Hellenistic and Roman periods notable wines were produced. Later on Christian Orthodox monks continued cultivating the wine. Production continued during the rise of Islam.
