Beaujolais Nouveau started as a French tradition and celebrates the end of harvest and the first wine of a new vintage, also refer to as Primeur. A worldrenowned celebration, Beaujolais Nouveau brings together, every year, over 60 million people from all parts of the world to taste a unique artisan wine.
Celebrated on the third Thursday in November, this year in Dar es Salaam, Beaujolais Nouveau took place on the fourth Thursday and gathered 600 guests at the French Ambassador’s residence for the past years. This unique event has now become “an experience” that hundreds of people in Dar es Salaam look forward to every year and this year as for the years prior, the event proved its renowned.
The success of this year’s event is a combination of relentless efforts of the Dar es Salaam Beaujolais Nouveau committee, dedicated partners, tireless service providers who together ensure that guests always have the best Beaujolais Nouveau experience. From the French/Tanzanian inspired décor, entertainment by a French/Tanzanian band and a DJ, delicious cheeses and other food from France, to the tasty French baguettes (recognized this year on UNESCO’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage) freshly baked by Epi d’Or; it is undeniable that the objective of providing an unforgettable Beaujolais experience to the guests was met. This year and for the past three years, Chef Alankalee also known as “Chef Alan” and his staff from the Melia Group (Zanzibar & Arusha) graced the evening and managed all food production, starting from the preparation to the final presentation. With satisfied guests, the committee is honored of the outcome of the event. Many thanks to long-time sponsors, Bollore Transport and Logistics, ORYX Energies, Maurel & Prom, Barton and Guestier Red & White, CFAO Motors, Epi d’Or, the French Ambassy and Alliance Francaise of Dar es Salaam and the new sponsor SAGEMCOM.
The Beaujolais Nouveau event is definitely meant for enjoyment free of formalism but we don’t only meet for pleasure & leisure. All money remaining from the purchases and logistics of the Beaujolais event will be given as usual into charity as per past years.
