Beaujolais Nouveau Celebration 2026 – Johannesburg

Celebrate Beaujolais Nouveau with an evening of French culture, wine, networking and conviviality at this much-loved annual tradition in 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, marking the release of the year's first wine. This cherished French tradition celebrates the harvest and the joy of sharing good wine, food and conversation.
