Beaujolais Nouveau 2026

What once began as a local celebration in the Beaujolais region of France to mark the end of harvest, with winemakers drinking the early release wine, has now become a globally recognised event. Laid down in French law, it's always the third Thursday in November, so that's the perfect day to host our annual Beaujolais tasting. 

For 2026 we have Beaujolais Nouveau from Château Thivin. This is a cut above your usual Beaujolais Nouveau and one we're super excited about. Expect the depth you typically get from Thivin (if you know you know), with the gluggable nature of Nouveau.

At this event we will be tasting 2026 Nouveau plus Jack will be presenting a selection of other 'cru' Beaujolais wines from previous vintages. 

Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé!

We make a seating plan for events that are held in The Wine Library. We have both high and low seating options, some more comfy than others, so please inform us if you have any special requirements. Likewise, do tell us if you wish to be sat with someone who has booked separately, we often just have to guess!  

Tickets to our tastings are non-refundable. If you can no longer attend, do get in touch as we often keep a cancellations list for those who missed out on tickets. If that’s not the case, we’ll always try and help re-sell them through social media (no guarantees). Alternatively, feel free to pass them to friends or family – we only need the name of the person who booked for entry on the night.
