What to expect

Sure you can buy mead from the liquor store, but it's so much more fun to make your own. And that's what The Sundowner does best!

Here’s a fun fact! Back in the 16th century, newlyweds were commonly given a month (full moon)'s worth of mead as a wedding gift, a European tradition — coining the term Honeymoon! It is said to increase the chances of reproduction and to conceive as soon as possible!

Start the workshop with a quick tour of the apiary, insepcting the honeybees up close, and understand why and how honey is made. Taste from a wide selection of the unique honeys and house meads available, before you decide what honey varietal to yeast up! As you make your very own bottle of mead, uncover the cool science behind fermentation.
