I don’t think I’d had but a small sip of mead previously, and Honeygirl made for a fine introduction. The tasting room is small but bright and clean. Combined with a friendly and knowledgeable staff, it makes for an inviting space. Honeygirl offers more than a dozen meads from basic to barrel aged and semi-sweet to dry. The ingredients are sourced locally (and, in one case, foraged by the manager) and incorporate a variety of apples and herbs. Hard-pressed (pun semi-intended) to make a decision, my wife and I settled on a flight consisting of spiced apple cyser, farmhouse wildflower, hibiscus lemonthyme, and tri-berry. The wildflower was all that I expected mead to be: a smooth honey wine. The cyser boasted some nice spice notes, but it also made me realize that I strongly prefer cider to its wine-based cousin. The tri-berry, on the other hand, was outstanding. A seasonal offering, it brings together mulberries, blackberries, blueberries, and black currant juice. The resulting concoction offered complex flavors and was not too sweet. We liked it so much that we ended up getting a bottle to take home. Honeygirl isn’t cheap – a flight of four is $15 and most glasses are in the $8-$12 range – but it’s a great way to try something different.

Been here so many times with friends! Their wine is mead or honey based and is so good. They have a great indoor and outdoor area. The service is amazing too.

Hi James, We have a bourbon barrel-aged Apple Cyser (honey apple mead), and a red wine barrel-aged Fig Mead as well. The bourbon barrel that we aged the mead in, came from Mystic Distillery in Durham. So if you are looking for a barrel-aged mead, Honeygirl Meadery is the source. And if you are looking for a bourbon, check out Mystic Distillery.
As others have pointed out, we have a full range of mead styles, from bone dry to semi-sweet. All well balanced and each one is different. Come taste and find your favorite!
