Lots of tasting jars with wooden spoons for samples. You would think it would get too sweet eating honey samples, but it didn't. I especially loved the manuka honey. It's supposed to be good for getting rid of colds. They also had items made out of honey like face creams and candy. Also had textiles for sale. Inside the store also had an information section about bees and honey production that was interesting and interactive for kids of all ages. I was on a tour bus with 20 other folks. The service was pretty quick. I had to wait behind one person to check Out. read more
This is a great stop along the wine trail. They've done a nice job of making it basically a beekeeping museum. There's a little video of inside a hive, there are a few active hives or frames you can look at, there are panels of information about beekeeping and the local honey, and of course there's the tasting area. They don't tackily police the tasting, so you can try the honeys in your preferred order and compare a few you might be considering. It's really interesting how different the honeys are from one another. They sell all the honey products you could want, from edible honey and honey products to the cosmetics you see in tourist shops everywhere. I didn't do much comparison shopping but the prices seemed about average, which means a bit high. The staff was friendly when I entered, and as I paid and they gave me a winery map and some suggestions. There's plenty of parking in the lot outside. It's just off Te Mata and near Black Barn, Te Mata, and Craggy Range wineries. read more
