Boisdale & The Spectator Beaujolais Nouveau Lunch 2026

Boisdale and The Spectator have joined forces to restore the charm and fun of Beaujolais Nouveau Day to the UK’s vinous calendar, in partnership with the legendary wine producer Pardon et Fils, whose Beaujolais Nouveau has won the Trophy for best Beaujolais Nouveau nine times since 2002, along with ten gold and four silver medals at the annual Trophée Lyon Beaujolais Nouveau.

We invite readers to join Spectator business editor Martin Vander Weyer and Boisdale founder Ranald Macdonald for a wonderful five-course lunch at Boisdale of Canary Wharf, during which we will enjoy three Beaujolais Nouveau 2026 wines, along with four outstanding Pardon et Fils Cru Beaujolais, namely Fleurie, Brouilly, Morgon and Chiroubles.
