Beaujolais Nouveau arrives on Thursday 19 November 2026, the third Thursday of November. The Sarmentelles de Beaujeu run from Wednesday 18 to Sunday 22 November 2026, with a torchlight parade and the opening of the Beaujolais at 23:00 on Wednesday 18 (sarmentelles.fr). We found no Lyon or Paris event confirmed for 2026 on an official page, so those are marked TBC.

Going alone

Pick a table at the bar or a tasting route rather than a booked table for six, and say you are on your own when you book. Plan your way home before you start, eat something, and alternate with water. Adults only (18+). Drink responsibly.

Responsibly

Drink responsibly. If you are driving, do not drink. Never leave a drink unattended.

Where this comes from

Checked 24 Oct 2026. The release date comes from Lyon Mag citing the interprofession and a calendar site; we could not read it on an Inter Beaujolais page. Beaujeu dates are from the festival’s own site.

How it works

  1. Read the date at the top.
  2. Open the official page for Beaujeu or the caviste you choose.
  3. Open Meet & Mint to see who else is going.
