We were overwhelmed with positive feedback of the Real Wine Fair, which took place on 28-29th April 2024 at Tobacco Dock in London. Here is just a small sampling of that feedback, for which we are so grateful.
It’s always a privilege to be at RWF, wouldn’t miss it for the world. Beautifully run as always, and such a celebratory energy. Growers were absolutely thrilled to be a part of it, thank you and everyone for all the work that goes in to make it such a special event.
Roman Pawar – Modal Wines
I wanted to say a massive thank you for organising and inviting us to the Real Wine Fair 2024. I felt so honoured to be part of it, loved the energy and atmosphere as always.
…The feedback from our growers was also extremely positive. They were all very impressed with the quality of the event and the interest shown by the people attending. They all said that this was one of the best fairs they attended in the past years.

Thanks so much – Natalia and I had a great time, loved every minute of it.

We thoroughly enjoyed it, it seems to get better every year. Our congratulations on what must have been a herculean effort by you and the Les Caves team. It has to be the premier wine Fair now in the UK by a mile.

We just wanted to give a quick feedback for the real wine fair. It was a wonderful and perfect organized fair. I liked it a lot. Also the get together evening on both days. In Brawn and on Sunday were incredble. The amount of people was good and I met a lot of restaurants, shops and also international people.
…Again thank you for the wonderful fair and all the best

Just to say thank you so much for yesterday. It was a terrific tasting with lots of great encounters and lovely wines, and now discoveries, not to mention sake – of particular interest as I am just back from Japan – and liqueur de tomate.

“What a weekend it was. So many good times, too many banging wines, loads of old friends and a few new ones too…we shucked around 1000 oysters and sold out every day. Loved every minute of it.

“The @realwinefair never disappoints! The number of wonderful producers reunited under one roof is impressive.

“With climate change hot on our heels, organic, biodynamic, and low intervention viti and viniculture have (thankfully) hit new heights of mainstream acceptance and popularity. @realwinefair highlights incredible people in our industry who are extremely passionate about these wines that are so VERY full of life.
