Private Mead Tasting for 25 includes:

• Short tour and talk on Mead Making


• Mead Tasting, Cheese & Crackers

The tour takes ~30 minutes from start to end, please leave your self about an hour for the tour and tasting. We are very proud of our history, and a portion of the tour will focus on our humble beginnings to our international growth. We will review the history of making mead. We will talk about the importance of the honey we use, where it's sourced and how much honey we use in a given year. We talk about how we make the mead, giving specifics about the different styles of mead, including pyments, melomels, cysers, metheglins. We go into specifics of fermentation, what temperature we ferment at, etc. The importance of not heating the honey, which can change the flavor and aroma. Making mead is easy, but making incredibly great mead time and time again is very difficult, we try to keep the tours light hearted for the enjoyment of all those on the tours, but if you have specific questions PLEASE ask. The tour finishes with a review of how we bottle the meads.

We offer a dizzying array of different meads to choose from, but fear not, here's how it works. Our staff will start you off by reviewing our meads 5 at a time, allowing you to pick one from that grouping. They will tend to be drier to start with, working towards semi-sweet, then on into dessert like. We encourage you to take notes.
