The Fermentery | REAL Drink Co. – The REAL Drinks Co.

OUR HOME, IN THE HEART OF BUCKINGHAMSHIRE

Our Fermentery is the first of its kind, leading the way in non-alcoholic fermentation. We chose to build our home on the beautiful Waddesdon Estate, which is just a stone’s throw from our original facility at Hartley Farm, because of our shared passion for sustainable food & drink practices.

Alongside being where we produce our range of Naturally Fermented Sparkling Teas, here we invest hours in experimentation, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

TOUR & TASTINGS

Immerse yourself in our world of fermentation, where we continuously push the boundaries of what's possible.

Meet a member of the REAL team for a tour of The Fermentery, learn about our unique and innovative processes, and taste our range of delicious non-alcoholic Sparkling. You will learn how we combine the art of fermentation with science, to create our exceptional depth, flavour and complexity.

Our tour & tastings last for approximately 1 hour.
