BENVENUTI!

Join us for the 13th edition of Real Italian Wine & Food (RIWF), taking place on Tuesday 29th April 2025, from 11am to 6pm at The Royal Horticultural Halls in London.

This annual event brings together over 70 producers from across Italy, offering a fantastic opportunity to discover a wide range of wines and artisanal foods — from well-established labels to exciting small-scale producers who are still looking for UK representation. Whether you're a buyer, importer, distributor, the RIWF is a must-attend trade event.

As always, our walk-around tasting will be the heart of the event — a relaxed and engaging way to explore everything from elegant reds and crisp whites to specialty olive oils, cheeses, cured meats, pasta, preserves and more. You’ll be able to meet the producers in person, learn about their stories, and taste their products first-hand.

We’re also excited to present showcookings experience celebrating the authentic culinary traditions of Sicily and Sardinia. Chefs from the two main Italian islands will be preparing classic dishes throughout the day, giving you the chance to experience their rich regional flavours right there on the spot — a delicious way to dive into the soul of southern Italy.

In addition, we will be hosting two in-depth masterclasses led by Walter Speller, MW and Italian editor for JancisRobinson.com:

• 1:30pm – Calabria on the radar – indigenous whites and reds

• 4:30pm – Sicily’s indigenous varieties

Both sessions will offer valuable insights into Italy’s lesser-known but increasingly exciting wine regions — places that are gaining serious attention for their quality and uniqueness.

You’ll also have the chance to connect also with leading UK importers such as Cibosano and wine specialist Dolce Vita Wines, who will be showcasing some of the finest Italian products already available in the UK market.

We look forward to welcoming you for a full day of tasting, learning, and connecting with the very best of Italy.
