The artisan wine fair RAW, has announced two dates for 2014, including its third London event and its first out-of-London fair in Vienna, with the possibility of more events being rolled out in the future.

RAW London will take place on May 18 and 19, while RAW Vienna will take place on June 15. It will coincide with Vievinum, Austria's bi-annual wine trade event, to enable international trade travelling to the city for the show to explore natural wine as well.

RAW London will be back at the Old Truman Brewery and the venue for RAW Vienna will be announced in January. As with previous years, it expects over 150 growers to attend RAW London, while RAW Vienna will be a more intimate event showcasing the work of around 50 growers.

Organiser, Isabelle Legeron, MW, said: "I am really excited about the 2014 editions in London and Vienna. London is home, so I'm obviously absolutely delighted that the fair has become such a fixture in the UK trade diary. I'm hopeful we'll be able to do the same in Vienna. RAW is all about pulling together to help natural growers make headway in places it would be tough to go it alone, so fingers crossed - if Vienna works then there might be more."
