Beaujolais Nouveau Day in London

Gordon's Wine Bar, London's oldest and moodiest spot for a glass, is bringing back its Beaujolais Nouveau Breakfast on Thursday 20 November. Doors open at 8am, with a full English breakfast, coffee, and fresh orange juice served alongside this year's Beaujolais until 11am. You can book a table inside or out for breakfast. If early starts aren't your thing, the new vintage will be pouring all month, so there's plenty of time to drop by and see what this year's bottle's about.

Peckham gets a Parisian twist for the night as The Sourcing Table throws its Beaujolais Nouveau bash. Expect French-inspired small plates, live gypsy swing and hot jazz from The Hot Club of Jupiter, plus a curated line-up of Beaujolais to work through. You'll even be handed a complimentary glass of the new vintage on arrival — très bon.

Soho's The Mulwray is celebrating Beaujolais Day in style this year. On Thursday, November 21, the cosy wine bar tucked above The Blue Posts will be pouring a flight of three Beaujolais wines, available from 5pm onwards, including fan favourites, classic vintages, and a limited release of this year's Beaujolais Nouveau. There'll also be a Beaujolais-themed charcuterie board to match. You can book a table or just turn up on the night for an evening of good wine, great music, and a proper dose of French joie de vivre.

Down in Clapham, D Vine Cellars is a neighbourhood wine bar that's part bar, part bottle shop, with a buzzy local crowd and shelves stacked with interesting pours. For Beaujolais Day, they're pouring flights of four fresh new wines, but it's worth keeping an eye out; they host regular themed tastings and low-key wine events throughout the year.

Celebrate Beaujolais Day in Ealing with Harrison's, the local deli that's as loved for its shelves of gourmet treats as it is for its excellent wine selection. As always, they're marking the third Thursday of November with the release of 2025's Beaujolais Nouveau, and this year, they'll be stocking four bottles from Pardon et Fils' award-winning range. If you fancy trying before you buy, pop by their in-store tasting on Saturday 22 November from 12–4pm.

Beaujolais Day is back at Galvin Bistrot & Bar, the Spitalfields spot inspired by classic Parisian bistros and run by the legendary Galvin brothers. On Thursday, 20 November, they'll be celebrating the arrival of the 2025 vintage with a full day of festivities and plenty of fresh, fruity Beaujolais to go around. From croque monsieurs in the morning to elegant bistro dishes later on, expect good wine, great food, and that trademark Galvin vibes that makes this one of the city's best spots for a celebration.

It's not just wine bars getting in on the Beaujolais Nouveau action; La Fromagerie is also celebrating in true French style. Both the Marylebone and Highbury branches of the beloved cheese shop are marking the third Thursday in November with special events, honouring one of their favourite traditions of the year. Expect an exceptional Beaujolais Nouveau-Village, chosen for its rich colour, structure, and fruity flavours of wild blackberry and blackcurrant, plus plenty of cheese, of course. Head Chef Alessandro Grano has created a celebratory menu that begins with a classic frisée salad featuring poached egg, lardons, croutons, and vinaigrette, setting the tone for a proper French-style feast.

Vintners Yard's heated courtyard will once again host Davy's (yes, the London wine bar crew) for their Beaujolais Nouveau Part-Yay. The evening promises plenty of Beaujolais Nouveau alongside Beaujolais Blanc, Moulin-à-Vent and Côte de Brouilly for those who know their stuff. Expect live jazz, French snacks, and a round of “guess the Beaujolais” to keep things lively.

A petite sibling to the Crudo cevicherias, Tiny Wine is a cosy bar-shop serving natural wines, Latin American small plates, and take-home bottles, with a bit of outdoor seating for lingering. They're celebrating Beaujolais season by partnering with Lieux Dits to pour two brilliant organic Beaujolais wines, only available here.
