First ever Cantina Argentina at LIWF

For the first time, the London International Wine Fair (LIWF) will be featuring an Argentine restaurant, sponsored by Wines of Argentina.

Situated in the boulevard rather than the main exhibition hall, Cantina Argentina will offer a stylish environment in which to do business or simply relax away from the Fair.

Classics such as the famous cuts of steak, Patagonian lamb and empanadas will be on offer along with pasta, risotto and fish dishes. There will be a 16-bin wine list featuring some of Argentina's wines, including its signature varietals:  Malbec, Torrontés and Bonarda, as well as some sparkling and dessert wines.

James Forbes, UK director of Wines of Argentina, commented: "Such is the power of Argentina to capture the imagination I know that if we could take everyone in the UK to the country for a week we'd have a 50% market share!

"Sadly that's a bit tricky but what we can do is give all the visitors to the LIWF a chance to experience a little of Argentina in London. Cantina Argentina is an authentic, stylish restaurant that places fine Argentine wine in its natural context – as a partner to fine Argentine food."

James Murray, event director, added: "We are delighted to be working with Wines of Argentina on this exciting initiative. Cantina Argentina offers something fresh for the LIWF and will no doubt prove a hit with visitors and exhibitors alike. I strongly recommend booking early, as I am confident that the restaurant is going to be very popular."

Cantina Argentina will be operated & managed during LIWF by leading venue & event catering specialists, Creativevents.
