About this Event

Take Flight Thursday: Beaujolais Nights

Thursday, November 21st

630-8pm

$49 per person

Beaujolais wine is deeply rooted in French history and tradition, originating from the Beaujolais region, just south of Burgundy. This wine is primarily made from the Gamay grape, known for its light, fruity character and vibrant acidity. Though the region has been producing wine since Roman times, Beaujolais’ true fame blossomed in the 20th century with the rise of Beaujolais Nouveau, a fresh, young wine celebrated for its unique release and festive atmosphere.

Beaujolais Nouveau’s appeal lies in its seasonal nature—it is released on the third Thursday of November each year, marking the end of the harvest. It’s one of the few wines meant to be enjoyed young, only weeks after fermentation, making it the perfect celebratory wine for the season. This tradition started as a local celebration of the new vintage but has grown into a global phenomenon, with festivals and tastings held worldwide.

Immerse yourself in the charm of Beaujolais at our upcoming wine and cheese tasting! For just $49 per person, you’ll indulge in six distinctive Beaujolais wines, known for their bright, juicy red fruit flavors and approachable style. From fresh and vibrant Beaujolais Nouveau to more complex Cru Beaujolais, each wine is thoughtfully paired with a personal cheese board designed to complement and elevate the tasting experience.

Come enjoy an evening of French flair, good conversation, and exceptional wine pairings. Spots are limited—reserve your place and let’s toast to the flavors of Beaujolais!
