What is Mead?
Mead, often referred to as "honey wine," is one of the oldest known alcoholic beverages, tracing its origins back thousands of years across various cultures.
Crafted by fermenting honey with water, and often enriched with fruits, spices, grains, or hops, mead offers a diverse range of flavours and styles. From the sweet and aromatic to the dry and crisp, this versatile drink has been celebrated in history and mythology alike.
Whether enjoyed still or sparkling, mead embodies a rich heritage that continues to enchant palates today.

What Makes Our Mead Special?
Handcrafted in Small Batches
Our meads are crafted in small batches to ensure the highest quality and attention to detail. This hands-on approach allows us to maintain the artisanal integrity of every bottle.
Locally Sourced Honey
We don't use any sugar alternatives when making our mead. Only real raw honey sourced from Hampshire, our home county.
Natural Mineral Water
Sourced within 6 miles of the meadery, natural mineral water from the South Downs provides an excellent base for our meads.
Innovative Flavour Profiles
We push the boundaries of traditional mead-making with bold, innovative flavour combinations that others might shy away from. Each blend is a carefully crafted experience that excites the palate and leaves a lasting impression.

We’re committed to sustainable practices, from sourcing ingredients to packaging. Our dedication to the environment ensures that our meads are not only delightful but also eco-friendly.
