New York City, Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Inter Beaujolais Celebrates Beaujolais Wine Month:
A Global Tradition Arrives in the U.S. with Various Events Highlighting Wine’s Most Anticipated Time of the Year
New York City, NY (October 29, 2026) — Inter Beaujolais is thrilled to announce Beaujolais Wine Month, a month-long celebration culminating in the most anticipated day in wine: Beaujolais Nouveau Day on Thursday, November 19, 2024. The initiative features 140 in-and off-premises events across New York City, Jersey City, New Jersey, and Chicago, uniting wine professionals, hospitality leaders, journalists, and consumers in a shared cultural moment.
Like Thanksgiving, Beaujolais Nouveau Day transcends the ordinary. It’s the one day the entire wine world stops to celebrate together a tradition born in the vineyards of Beaujolais, France over 80 years ago, when winemakers first rushed their freshly fermented wines to market, eager to share their harvest. What began as a regional celebration has evolved into a global phenomenon, a cultural occasion marked by tradition, anticipation, and collective participation.
Every third Thursday of November, winemakers in Beaujolais release Beaujolais Nouveau simultaneously. This young, vibrant wine captures the essence of the season’s harvest in a single bottle. Unlike other wines, Beaujolais Nouveau cannot be sold before this date, making it an event of genuine scarcity and excitement. For wine professionals and enthusiasts alike, it signals the arrival of the festive season and offers a rare moment of unified celebration across cultures and borders.
This November, Inter Beaujolais is bringing the spirit of Beaujolais to some of America’s most vibrant wine markets. Throughout the month, 140 events across NYC, New Jersey, and Illinois will invite wine lovers and professionals alike to discover Beaujolais’s diversity through a range of select experiences. Participating restaurants will showcase Beaujolais tasting menus and food pairings, while select retailers will host wine tastings. Featured events include a masterclass at Verve Wine in Chicago, plus tastings, food pairings, and engaging experiences at participating restaurants, wine bars, and retailers.
Among the highlights, Cheese & Wine events will showcase one of the most natural pairings of all, offering a delicious and approachable way to explore the many expressions of Beaujolais.
Featured Events Include:
- Educational tastings for wine professionals and sommeliers
- Media tastings and press events
- On-premise restaurant and bar celebrations
- Off-premise retail launches
- The highlighted “Cheese & Wine” pairing experience.
Whether you’re a sommelier seeking to engage your guests, a retailer launching new vintages, or a consumer discovering why the world awaits this day each year, Beaujolais Wine Month invites you to participate in a tradition that’s equal parts commerce, culture, and community.
