The Beaujolais Run® 2020

In the week before the 2021 'Run, we are reminded of how lucky we were to celebrate the opening of our 50th anniversary year, with The Beaujolais Run® 2020.

Last year saw some eighty people involved, thanks to the assistance of some great 'friends of the 'Run.'

In a five day Fundraising tasting extraganza, 'Runners joined both those who spend their lives in the air and those in the vineyards. This included behind the scenes tours, flying action and access to some very special wines.

Representing 'the air' were the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team- The Red Arrows, The Blades, RAF Marham with the F35A, RAF Coningsby with the Typhoon and The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. The 'land' team included Clovis Taittinger, Jean-Phillipe Archimbaud at The Chateau de Santenay and Laurent Chevalier at Henry Fessy. The week concluded with a St.Tropez beach party courtesy of Jerome Pernot at Chateau Léoube.

As a result of the weeks fundraising efforts, The Beaujolais Run® was nominated as 'Fundraising Team of the Year' by the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund.

Our Fiftieth Year, finishes at midnight on Wednesday 17th November when the 'Run will be deep in Beaujolais for a very special celebration this year....
