Beaujolais Nouveau is a celebratory wine event held every third Thursday of November, marking the official release of the year’s first Beaujolais wine. Originating in the Beaujolais region of France, the festival features tastings, parties, and parades, with bottles uncorked at midnight in villages, wine bars, and restaurants across France and beyond. Known for its light, fruity taste, Beaujolais Nouveau is enjoyed young and symbolizes the end of the harvest season. The slogan "Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé!" signals the start of this global tradition, which brings together wine lovers for a festive toast.
