Revel

Revel

Born in the heart of Ojai and rooted in high-frequency living, Revel is a next-generation beverage brand creating small-batch drinks that restore, uplift, and delight. What began as Revel Kombucha evolved into something much bigger: a playful, soulful lineup of lifeforce beverages brewed with intention and infused with place. The brief? Build a brand that honors the land, the people, and the spirit of the valley — then bottle that magic in every sip.

Partnering with founders Sonia and Adam Gallegos, we discovered a brand rich in intention: each beverage is crafted from locally‑sourced, small‑batch ingredients designed to nourish body and soul. Revel’s evolution from kombucha to a broader lifeforce lineup demanded a name and identity that could grow across formats, flavors, and experiences—while celebrating its hometown origins and community roots in Ojai.
