“The Ankida Ridge GAMAY NOUVEAU Has Arrived!”
ANKIDA RIDGE VINEYARD’S INAUGURAL
VIRGINIA ‘GAMAY NOUVEAU’ TASTING DAY
SAT, NOV 23 12-5PM
Join in the revelry as we embrace the French tradition of gathering to taste and celebrate the first wine of the new harvest. Ankida will celebrate our first Gamay Nouveau wine, grown and crafted here in the mountains of Amherst County, while the Beaujolais region of France celebrates “Beaujolais Nouveau,” an annual four-day party, beginning at 12:01am the 3rd Thursday of every November, when winemakers roll their barrels of Nouveau wine down the village streets and the party begins! We’ll have to settle for a 5 hour celebration in our tasting room! Toss the beret onto our “Eiffel Tower’ to win a special gift! Enjoy traditional Beaujolais foods, catered by Lynchburg’s fabulous “Purple Door Catering,” to pair with the first wine of the 2019 vintage! The 'Ankida Gamay Nouveau' will be only sample tastings due to our very tiny first vintage, but imported “Beaujolais Nouveau” wine from France will be available for sale by the glass. No reservations needed except to guarantee your food selection. Menu below.
Authentic French Quiches
Poached Pear over Pound Cake
Our delicious Cheese & Charcuterie Board for Two will also be available
