Beaujolais Nouveau Celebration 2026 – Johannesburg

Join us for the highly anticipated Annual Beaujolais Nouveau Celebration, a signature event bringing together the French, South African and international business communities for an evening of French culture, networking and conviviality.

Every year, on the third Thursday of November, France celebrates the arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau, the year's first wine release. This cherished tradition celebrates the harvest, the joy of sharing good wine and food, and the French art de vivre — the art of enjoying life's simple pleasures. Join us as we raise a glass to new beginnings, lasting friendships and meaningful connections!
