Celebrate the hard work and end of the 2018 harvest season at Galena Cellars’ most celebrated weekend! The 34th Annual Nouveau Weekend is slated for Friday, November 16th, with festivities continuing through Saturday, November 17th. This year’s celebration will showcase the annual release of Le Beaujolais Nouveau, which refers to the practice of bottling the first wine of the harvest just a few weeks after fermentation.
The weekend activities get underway at noon on Friday, Nov. 16 when the new wine is officially released with a toast at Galena Cellar’s opening luncheon held at the Main Street location that day. Many area restaurants follow suit and celebrate with traditional French fare and wine-inspired luncheons.
The afternoon kicks off at 2:30 p.m. with a parade of revelers assembling for a trek down Galena’s Main Street in assorted modes of transportation and merriment from horse-drawn wagons to trollies as the Nouveau wine is handed out to Galena merchants who sport the Nouveau posters in their shop windows.
Local restaurants and Galena businesses continue the celebration all weekend with live music, wine tastings, dinner specials and receptions.
