Beaujolais Nouveau! |
This is the spectacular event that receives attention from all over the world the third Thursday of November every year. We invite you to celebrate this year's opening of the Beaujolais Nouveau wine with us at the Beaujolais & Beyond 2016 !
The Beaujolais & Beyond Celebration is a French cultural "Fête" that will take place on the evening of Thursday, November 17, in accordance with popular French annual tradition and custom for uncorking the Beaujolais Nouveau wine. "Beaujolais & Beyond" will welcome wine lovers, foodies, Francophiles and party goers to the Maison Française, Embassy of France in Georgetown.
We will serve light fare from renowned Chef Daniel Labonne, the Embassy's very own Chef-in-Residence, accompanied by French breads, cheeses, pâtés and pastries.
Guests will be treated to free-flowing Beaujolais Nouveau by Georges Duboeuf and a selection of wines from France, but not only! Note that this evening will feature an Open Bar for Beaujolais wine, as well as a Cash Bar for other wines, sparkling wine and beers. Please plan accordingly!
The festivities will include a pleasant D.J. atmosphere, dancing, an online and a silent auction and a raffle drawing for round-trip tickets to Paris. The Fête will last for 3 full hours.
