Passport to France is FACC-Chicago's annual fundraiser in honor of the Beaujolais Nouveau. By official French decree, the new Beaujolais vintage wine cannot be uncorked until the third Thursday of November.

November 20, 2008 marked our 24th annual event. Warm thanks to all attendees, sponsors and participating restaurants for your part in making Passport to France Chicago's largest and most festive Beaujolais Nouveau soirée!

Thank you also to SDV U.S.A. International Logistics, whose generous support has made these photos available to you!
