Come and meet the most exemplary estate producers from Beaujolais (the press has already been let in on this secret)  so they can show you how the new generation of growers work and how they envision the future of their beloved winegrowing region.
 

You will be able to taste examples of almost all 10 crus, like Moulin-a-Vent, Fleurie, Brouilly and Morgon and learn about traditional growing practices, hand harvesting and how these wineries cope with modernization.

They are the artisans that are bringing Beaujolais into the 21st century, while remaining close to their roots and origins.

5:30pm - 7:00pm: Walk-around tasting


7:00pm - 8:00pm: Cocktail reception, presentation by Expressions d'Origine producers, passed hors d'oeuvres.
