The 2026 Beaujolais Nouveau Arrives in Nashville November 19

About this event

WHAT: The 2026 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau arrives in Nashville the same day it’s released around the world. French law prohibits sales before the third Thursday of November, so November 19 is the first day anyone can taste it. To mark the arrival, Wine Sellers Ltd., which took back U.S. importing of Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau this year, is launching Nouveau Day as a new annual Nashville tradition.

The evening includes the new vintage poured all night, drink specials, La Pulga tequila cocktails, and live music from local band Siren on the outdoor stage. The first 200 ticket holders receive a swag bag with a commemorative wine glass and two drink tickets.

WHEN: Thursday, November 19, 2026, starting at 5 p.m.

WHERE: Love and Exile, 715 Main St A, Nashville, TN 37206

TICKETS: $20.26, a nod to the 2026 harvest, available at seatfun . 21+

WHY IT’S TIMELY: Beaujolais Nouveau is a young, fruity red made from Gamay grapes, bottled just weeks after harvest and meant to be enjoyed slightly chilled. Released one week before Thanksgiving, it’s become a go-to holiday table pairing in the U.S.

INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITIES: Dawn Candelore, Area Manager, Wine Sellers Ltd., is available for interviews and tastings ahead of the event.
