CRESSELLY-based micro-distillery, Still Wild, will bring its award winning spirits to the heart of London as part of a special food and drink showcase at the iconic Spitalfields Market over St David’s Day weekend.

Taking place on Saturday, February 28 and Sunday, March 1, and set within one of London’s most historic food destinations, the market will feature more than a dozen Welsh food and drink producers.

Spitalfields Market, with its rich trading heritage and reputation for outstanding produce, provides the perfect backdrop to tell the story of Welsh food and drink to a London audience.

Still Wild, which is known for its selection of wild botanical infused vermouth, gins, negronis, aperitif, nocino and vodkas will feature among the curated selection of producers. The micro distillery in the heart of South Pembrokeshire launched Wales’ first ever vermouth in 2020 and hand-forages local botanicals to develop products that capture the flavours of the county’s coastline.

Still Wild is able preserve the delicate aromas of its botanicals and natural additives, using a cold vacuum distillation process - a technique that has earned the brand international recognition, including a top global ranking at the World Vermouth Awards.

James Harrison-Allen of Still Wild said: “We're really excited about having the opportunity to showcase our award winning range of vermouths and aperitivos to a London audience. We've had a loyal customer base in London via our website ever since we started, but I can't wait to be pouring drinks in person. We're really passionate about all the amazing wild Welsh botanicals that we forage, and I'm really eager to share them with everyone.”

The Spitalfields showcase forms part of a wider St David’s Day celebration being organised by Food & Drink Wales, the Welsh Government’s food division. From artisan producers to established Welsh brands, the events will highlight how Wales’s food and drink scene is shaped by its landscape and brought to life by the people who make it.

Deputy First Minister with responsibility for Climate Change and Rural Affairs, Huw Irranca-Davies MS said:

“St David's Day is the perfect moment to celebrate the exceptional quality and creativity of Welsh food and drink producers. From award-winning charcuterie to innovative craft spirits, the businesses showcasing at Spitalfields represent the very best of what Wales has to offer.

"Our food and drink sector is built on strong foundations -protected geographical status, sustainable farming practices and generations of skilled production. But it's also a sector that continues to evolve, with producers combining their heritage with fresh ideas and ambitious growth plans.

"Events like this are vital for connecting Welsh businesses with new markets and demonstrating to buyers across the UK that Wales is a modern food nation with products that can compete at the highest level."
