Annually, the Charlotte International Cabinet and Alliance Française celebrate the "Les première vendanges" or first grape harvest of the year. This is an authentic French tradition celebrated around the globe. Charlotte is honored to be one of 16 cities in the United States recognized as an official Beaujolais city by the Union Interprofessionelle des Vins du Beaujolais, the association governing this wine producing region of France.
While enjoying the Beaujolais Nouveau and several other great wines from the region you can snack on various Frence Fare cheeses and saucisson.
This year we will have a raffle off and plenty of goodies up for grabs in our Silent Auction.

Beaujolias Nouveau wine is released the third Thursday of November. That Friday we ask you to join us in celebration by sampling this fresh young wine and a few other selections from the Beaujolais region. Previous festivals have included silent auctions, traditional French country hors d'oeuvres, cooking demonstrations, and raffle ticket prizes.
