Luscombe Drinks
At Luscombe we are passionate about making premium soft drinks. We put taste at the centre of everything we do and are dedicated to using only the best, hand selected, organic ingredients from trusted growers worldwide and produce our drinks in Buckfastleigh, Devon. Founded in 1975 by Julian David and subsequently taken over by his son, Gabriel, when he returned from living in Sicily where he learnt his craft in soft drinks production. Gabriel has spent decades finding and building relationships with our partner growers, from the finest ginger in Peru to delicious raspberries from Bulgaria. Our partners share our production values and always go the extra mile to ensure the fruit is grown and harvested to preserve and encourage the optimum taste experience. In 1998, we were awarded organic accreditation from the Soil Association, the first drinks brand in the UK to gain this highly regarded certification. On the farm in Devon, we have our own organic orchard and in 2018, we became deeply involved in an agroforestry partnership on the Dartington Hall Estate. This is where we planted our first organically certified elderflower plantation. Every step from sourcing, harvesting, juicing, blending, and bottling receives our undivided attention. With a Royal Warrant in hand, over 100 Great Taste Award stars from the Guild of Fine Food and an abundance of positive customer reviews, we know you’ll love them. Luscombe, elevating every experience since 1975.
