Ready for the Beaujolais Nouveau Drop?!

Buzz

It’s that time again! Beaujolais Nouveau is about to drop, as it does every third Thursday in November. The wine world raises a glass to the year’s very first sips of the new harvest. Young and fruity, this Gamay-driven “race to the bottle” has grown from a little French tradition to a full-on global party. Here in the DMV, we know how to celebrate. From Embassy soirées to restaurant pairings and festive tastings, Beaujolais Nouveau is popping up everywhere. Check out all the places to toast the 2025 vintage here.
