Thank you for celebrating with us!
Nouveau Festival returns next December. Follow us on Facebook or Instagram, or join our newsletter, to hear when the next date is set.
The first wine of the new vintage
Fenn Valley Nouveau is a dry red wine made from the current year’s harvest. Expect a fruity wine full of berry flavors with a smooth finish. It’s a perfect addition to a holiday party table, or a wine to sip by the fireplace through the cold Michigan winter.
A Fenn Valley tradition since 1991
More than thirty years ago, we started celebrating the release of the vintage’s first wine the way the French celebrate Beaujolais Nouveau. We’ve had a lot of fun sharing Nouveau with you every year, and we hope you’ll join us again this December.
