On 15 November the new Beaujolais is uncorked in Beujeu,
France, but there are other delicious options right now.

Weird food trend alert!
Eating insects has been big news for a
while now, but it seems the creepy, crawly
ingredients don’t stop there. Next on the
menu? Scorpions, which can be found
on tables like London's Archipelago and
now – for the home-munching option –
apparently "oven baked and ready to eat"
from firebox.com (£11.99 [€15]). The only
question is: are you ready for them?
1
Les Trois Glorieuses
(17-21/11)
hosts dinners, tastings and a post-harvest
auction at the historic Hospices de Beaune (fly to Lyon).
2
Merano Wine Festival
(9-12/11)
showcases the best Italian and
international wines in the historic Kurhaus building (fly to Verona).
3
It's the
World Truffle Market
in Alba this month (weekends until 18/11) –
match with a glass of the venerable local Barolo (fly to Turin).
4
Traditionally, the Portugese celebrate
St Martin’s Day
(11/11)
with a low-
alcohol drink called agua-pé... but port is a lot nicer (fly to Porto).
5
Head to
Jerez
–
it’s still fairly warm here but quieter at this time of year;
perfect for appreciating local sherry, its unique fortified wine (fly to Seville).
15-18/11
Salsa Festival, Tallinn
Estonia turns Latino for four days in
November. If it wasn’t for the freezing
temperatures, you might think you were
in Brazil as workshops by international
teachers throughout the days teach you
the scorching salsa moves you need for
fiery fiestas in the evenings.
