Le Beaujolais nouveau est arrivé!
Before the holiday rush begins, indulge in an evening of exceptional cuisine, live music, and seasonal celebration at Cedar + Elm. Our annual Beaujolais Nouveau dinner returns, offering the perfect occasion to gather with those who matter most.
Delight in an à la carte menu thoughtfully crafted by Chef Luke Kolpin and his team, inspired by the flavors of France. The local sensation, Rouge, will serenade us with their lively blend of French melodies, while we pour from our collection of freshly bottled local wines and French Gamay Noir, celebrating the debut of the 2025 vintage.
This once-a-year affair offers the perfect opportunity to gather with friends and toast the season. Make the night even more special by taking home a bottle to enjoy at your Thanksgiving table—because great gatherings deserve great wine.
We invite you to relax and stay awhile after dinner by booking a room at The Lodge at St. Edward Park!
