Other Partners

Our thanks also go to the following partners for their support and involvement in the Exeter Festival of South West Food & Drink 2010 (9-11th April):

Classic English wines are produced at Sharpham vineyard as a result of a happy marriage of soil, climate and grape variety known as terroir, and nature has bestowed her gifts freely upon us here at Sharpham. In the winery, we employ both New World and traditional techniques to best develop our unique regional characteristics. Our tally of International Awards confirms our position as one of England's foremost quality wine producers. We invite you to visit, sample, and make up your own minds about our fine English wine.

Luscombe Drinks - http://www.luscombe.co.uk/

All Luscombe Drinks are just as nature intended; delicious, natural and untouched. With 16 different fruit drinks, every one goes through a meticulous production process to ensure flavours are protected and brought to the fore. Made without additives, colourings, enhancers, preservatives or short cuts of any kind, each drink is very gently pasteurised in-bottle to preserve the delicate character of the fruit.
