News from Scout supporter Campagnolo

Vancouver, BC | Campagnolo, Main Street’s casual Italian eatery, celebrates Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch Whisky throughout the month of November with three inspired cocktails created by bar manager Giovanni Giardino. True to Campagnolo’s roots, each cocktail is made with an Italian ingredient—or an Italian twist.

The November promotion was inspired by an intimate event hosted by Campagnolo on Thursday, October 29th, which welcomed special guest Ian Millar, Global Ambassador for Glenfiddich, the World’s Most Awarded Single Malt. The Mad Men inspired event was a nod to the 1960s laissez-faire attitude of the cocktail being considered a necessary component of office culture. A key innovator in Single Malt Scotch production, the Glenfiddich Distillery introduced the popular concept to the world in the 1960s.

The Glenfiddich cocktails featured at Campagnolo are $8.50 each (plus applicable taxes). The Nero is made with Hendricks gin, Glenfiddich and Liquore Strega, and is garnished with a Cerignola olive. The Rob Roy, or classic scotch cocktail, is made with Glenfiddich, Cinzano red vermouth and a dash of Angostura bitters, and is garnished with an orange twist. The Pete Marche, or contemporary scotch cocktail, is made with Glenfiddich, Orancio vermouth and a dash of cherry bitters.

Campagnolo’s passionate bar manager, Giovanni Giardino, has been working behind Vancouver’s best restaurant bars—including West and Le Crocodile—for the better part of the past twenty years. He crafts his cocktails with a focus on pure, simple flavours.

Campagnolo buzzes with activity and laughter. Though spacious and open, the atmosphere is warm and intimate in the 65-seat open dining room and beautiful, 25-seat wine bar. Home to a big-screen TV and glowing bar, the wine bar is the ideal locale for sipping delicious cocktails, watching the hockey game, or sampling Italian fare with friends after work or on the weekend until 1am.

Campagnolo serves affordable, casual Italian dining in a warm and welcoming space. Campagnolo is open for lunch Monday – Friday from 11:30am – 2:30pm, brunch on Saturday & Sunday from 11:30am – 2:30pm, and dinner nightly from 5pm. Seating is available on a first come first serve basis, and reservations are available only for parties of eight or more. Campagnolo is located at 1020 Main Street, Vancouver BC.
