The food options are really limited. And the whole place... is a cool vibe. And if you are into honey wine and like a local place - then this might be your place! You can at least try it once.

We were up in Bellingham for a few days and found this place by chance. We are so glad we did!…read more First, you have to go down the alleyway to get here. Google directs you to the front of the street, but it's behind it, in the alley. Parking right in front of it isn't busy. My husband got the strawberry rhubarb cider, and I got a flight with 5 ciders and 1 mead. All of them were excellent. We especially loved the cranberry and rhubarb ones. We got to meet the owners and cider makers. Super sweet and friendly. We hope to come back up and visit again someday!

We stopped in just before closing time and did a tasting which was only $10. The meads were all the best I've ever had and the perfect balance of sweet/tart. We left with 3 bottles and Mark even waived the tasting fee. Give them a shot the next time you're in the area, you won't regret it.

Wow! Having tried…read moremead quite a few times, I've never acquired the taste. Hierophant has completely changed my mind with their elevated versions of this ancient craft. Refreshing flavors that are subtle and well balanced, with varying levels of alcohol. Although I haven't tried all of their 20+ varieties, the ones I've tried were fantastic. If you like the traditional taste of a heavy and earthy mead, Hierophant may be something new to you as well. Great service from the friendly staff in a casual, yet upscale tasting room makes for a very relaxing visit. And there's plenty of parking. I'll be a regular when I'm on island visiting my son and his family. Thank you Hierophant for creating a new and delightful epicurean experience.

So I get to this place and unfortunately they were out of the classic so I went with his plum wine. It was great! But definitely still a bit tart to be considered perfect for me. Kind of a smaller bottle for the price but considering it's the best mead I've had I'm willing to pay it. I'll definitely be back to try the original honey mead! All and all I'm a happy customer.

He has an awesome variety of flavors (definitely some unique ones!). I also love that he sources just about everything (as much as he can) locally. Even for his t-shirts he is using a local company! Absolutely top-tier mead. Erik is a super nice guy, who loves what he does and does an amazing job. So glad to have found Aesir! Definitely recommend trying it, even if you don't know if or think you don't like mead, give his a try.

We stumbled upon this place when the GPS took us on the wrong route to Chaberton Winery and lost…read moreour way. We decided to stop here when backtracking to Chaberton as it was on the way. Unfortunately the tasting of 6 different flavored mead made us a bit too woozy to go across to Township 7 vineyards for more wine tasting. Luckily there's a traveling tea shop on the lawn where we could sober up with some high tea food or sandwiches or charcuterie board. I never realized there are quite a fair bit of wineries in the Langley/Abbotsford area. You don't really need to go far to kelowna if you're short on time. We also saw horses out here. Too cute. And really a wonderful way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. This place specializes in mead. You can be a club member and there are special meads for members. They do a tasting for $10 which is waived with purchase of a bottle ($26). I love how the staff will tell a story or origins of the name for their different meads. Dry mead -- the original. I tend towards sweeter alcohol and I'm surprised I could drink this. Not overly sweet. It is light and crisp with a bit of bubbly (not fizzy) to me. Very refreshing. Ginger mead -- I like ginger but not in this mead. A bit herbal to me. Lavender mead -- it's the prettiest with the violet hue. It smells of lavender but the taste sticks for the longest time for me. Cranberry mead -- a light orange pink color. It's very tart. Vinum Regum -- 2 versions, we tried the reserved one which is aged for 90 days in oak barrel so it has a Smokey flavor like whiskey. It's really strong for me. Lvna (Luna) -- mulled mead which has winter spices like mulled wine. This is the sweetest. Very nice. They have other fruity flavors like pear. Lovely staff and definitely come here if you want some uncommon flavored mead.

I saw a young male employee turn away from an obviously physically challenged elderly customer who was having difficulty opening the heavy exit/entry door. This store has a monopoly, being the only wine store on Granville Island, the owners should be grateful for all of the walk in business by tourists - instead they act like they deserve it. They should pay a visit it any BC government liquor store, and experience what great customer service looks like.
