Yumbo Soda Co is a Yarra Valley based independent soft drink company brewing boutique soft drinks for those wanting a boutique soft drink.

Growing up in the Yarra Valley, founder Ben Frazer knew a thing or two about the beverage industry – his brother a wine maker, his mates behind the wheel of Four Pillars, it was an industry he’d always been a part of, albeit dancing on the sidelines of the game. When Covid hit, Ben pivoted from his marketing role and got to work on a project he’d never had the time to tackle – Yumbo Soda Co. With access to a brewery in Coldstream and Walter, Ben’s 78-year-old lemon farmer/good mate living next door, he got to work creating a lemonade that honoured the taste of the traditional flavour of one of the world’s most popular soft drinks.

Yumbo Lemonade is a traditional tasting lemonade using all Australian ingredients from family run businesses we know and love. Premium Australian lemon juice from Mildura Juice Co VIC, Lemon Myrtle from Creative Native Foods in SA, Makrut Lime Leaves from Walter’s orchard in Healesville & lemon zest from JT Juices, VIC. The same approach was taken for Yumbo Mandarin - all Australian growers and produces bringing the best quality ingredients to Yumbo HQ!
