What is Beaujolais Nouveau?
Beaujolais Nouveau is a red wine made from Gamay grapes in the Beaujolais region of France, just south of Burgundy. It's bottled only weeks after the harvest, so it's light, bright and full of fresh red-berry fruit, a wine meant to be enjoyed young and with friends. By French tradition it can't be released until the third Thursday of November, when cafés and bistros across France celebrate the arrival of the new vintage.
At Le Sud, we'll share the story behind the release-day tradition, what makes Beaujolais Nouveau so unique, and why people across France look forward to it every fall.
Your evening includes
Beaujolais Nouveau 2026, the brand-new vintage
A tasting of additional Beaujolais wines
French charcuterie and cheese
Mediterranean-inspired bites from our kitchen
Wine stories and a little Beaujolais education
A festive French atmosphere
