Wine Festivals in Region-wide; main celebrations in Lyon and Beaujolais villages

Beaujolais Nouveau Release ★ 4.6

Region-wide; main celebrations in Lyon and Beaujolais villages

The third Thursday of November signals the simultaneous global release of Beaujolais Nouveau under the Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrive banner.

Tip: The most atmospheric way to experience the release is to be in a Lyon bouchon at midnight; the city still treats Nouveau night as a genuinely festive occasion, unlike much of the international hype.
