Since 1897, Buckfast has been crafting history.

Our timeline is a rich tapestry of remarkable moments that have shaped the iconic drink you know and love today.

The beginnings of our partnerships with the Buckfast monks began in the 1920s, when their winemaking almost faced an abrupt end, due to licensing challenges. But thanks to Robert Joyce, the tradition was saved, sparking the legendary partnership between Buckfast Abbey and J. Chandler and Co Ltd.
