Chef Jacques & Carol and our team at L’Auberge Chez François invite you to our 50th Anniversary in Great Falls Celebratory Wine Festival and Luncheon on Saturday, April 11th, 2026. Please join us any time between 11:30am and 1:00pm for a walk-around tasting of nine fine wines for a celebratory tasting and delectable seasonal passed canapés.
For this very special anniversary wine fest event, our team of sommeliers have selected nine “vins très spéciaux” (very special wines) from France in honor of our homeland, but of course, that are perfectly suited for your table or to be given as a gift to the wine-lover in your life. From a country that’s home to some of the world’s most exceptional wines, sip the “oh so appropriate” Anniversary French Bubbles, wines from Burgundy, Bordeaux, Loire and of course, the wines of our beloved Alsace.
Our sommelier Alex Bardsley and special guests, Liz Van Wazer, CSW, Williams Corner Wine and Elise Gavin, Roanoke Valley Wine Company will be reaching deep into their cellars for our anniversary and will be on hand to guide the tastings and answer any questions you may have about pairing suggestions.
Our wine tasting will be followed by your choice of our delectable lunch menu from Chef Jacques’ four-course L’Auberge Chez Francois Spring menu, will be paired with an additional glass of wine (yes please!) in one of our several beautiful dining rooms. Our sommeliers will be on hand to guide the tastings and answer any questions you may have about pairing suggestions. All wines featured at this event will be available for purchase at a very special price this day only.
Happy 50th Anniversary L’Auberge Chez François, Chef Jacques and Entire Team!
