We were visiting from Florida and a musician was playing a set here. The space is very large and clean, and the selections were plentiful. There is a nice outdoor area if you need to stretch your legs and take in the fresh mountain air. As I went to have a taste of their delicious mead, Blair struck up a conversation with me, and we talked about the area, it's history, and this business he has made from his own humble beginnings. We talked about the bees, we talked about area happenings , and he was a wonderful host. I highly recommend that you not miss this place when heading through Dahlonega. read more

This is a very nice place to bring your dogs, have a few drinks, and make some new friends. The meads I tried were very good and the beers were distinctly above average. Relax with a Boggs Creek Oatmeal Stout and Instant Retirement Double IPA. Flights are six 4 of pours (2 Oz for meads). Staff was very friendly and brought cold filtered water for our pups. Gorgeous outdoor seating in September. No real food here, so make this a second stop for your evening. read more

This place rocks! Not only is the mead delicious, the ambiance is great and it is veteran owned. I love coming here for the team Trivia and chugging delicious honey wine! read more

Stumbled upon this place after a series of unfortunate events and it was the star of the day! The place was cozy and had a small kids corner, a few cozy couch spaces and tables to sit at. The girl helping us was honestly hilarious and snarky but in the best way possible! She made our day and made us laugh after a rough hour before. They offer chips, small premade charcuterie snack trays but not full lunch options. However many places will deliver. Can't wait to go back and try a few more of there selections! read more

Stopped in after a visit to Dahlonega for a little break from the cold. The room is large and comfortable with several different seating areas. It wasn't busy when we arrived but quickly filled up soon after. They offer both regular and sparkling mead, beer and wine. I ordered a mead flight and the bartender was super helpful in making sure I ordered ones I would enjoy. All of my choices were very tasty but the Drunken Peach Cobbler was my favorite. It's a great place to stop if you want a break from the wineries. read more

Amazing mead! They also have a wonderful sitting area. You can also go outside and look at the beautiful Mountain View. The service is always on point. Occasionally they will have a food truck as well. read more

I stopped here on a recent weekend trip. Although it was an easy drive from the downtown of Dahlonega, when we arrived it was empty. It was about noon on a Saturday so maybe a little early for some day drinkers. However, I LOVED the drinks I got to try. My favorite was the sparkling mead. The sweet hot fuzz, made with honey, peaches and habanero peppers, had the perfect balance of sweetness and a kick. If you're looking for something a little different during your traditional tour of GA wine county, I would stop here for a taste of honey wine! read more

Service was fine, but mead isn't very good. We will stick with Viking. Also, we found the prices pretty high.

Cool venue, decent selection of mead and other beverages. Great place to hang out in the area. Friendly atmosphere.

This cool little place has mead, beers, and wine. Since we had never had mead before, we shared 2 flights. The bartender was nice and helpful. There were a few that I enjoyed and I bought a pack to take home. It's definitely a place to check out. read more

We visited the Etowah Meadery tasting room in downtown Dahlonega on a recent trip. We've done beer, wine, and margarita flights, but never a mead flight- and we love new experiences on vacation. My husband and I shared the $8 tasting flight of mead, which included four 2oz samples of Georgia Standard, Ranier Cherry Deluge, FIGeddaboutit, and Dry Humor. We also tried the Mead-a-Rita. We purchased the FIGeddaboutit flavor as well as a mango guava sparkling mead, and the art on the bottles adds a custom touch. I wish the DeSoto's quest was available by the glass, because I would've tried that as well. It was a bit pricey to purchase without tasting first. The tasting room on the square is worth a stop if you like adventurous adult beverages. The production facility is closed on weekdays, but I'd love to tour it if we return to the area. read more

Very Accommodating staff. Went to watch football, all TVs on streaming not affected by blackouts etc. very good Beers and "Mead" is unique. Plan to return often. Can even bring in your own food. In Dahlonega ? Check it out. read more

Great local business. Staff is friendly and provides very good service. Open, casual atmosphere. Live entertainment. Clean and both family and pet friendly. Lots of unique menu options. Stopped on the way back from a full day's day hiking and recommend you do too if you're thirsty. Limited food menu, but still a great spot if you just need to refresh and hangout for a while. Ample seating indoors and out and just a great place to stop in whether you're in a small or large group. read more

My husband and I stumbled across this place while driving through Georgia. What a find! First, there is ample parking and the building is welcoming. We were greeted by the owners who were lovely to chat with. The mead was top quality and tasted natural. We will definitely be back. read more

Came to the Meadery to especially try the flights of mead. They had several and their pours were generous for 2 people. There were plenty of seating both inside and outside. They didn't look like they had a kitchen but they did have a food truck serving up hotdogs. Very kid friendly too, they had a couple of oversized games outside. Highly recommend! read more

So glad we stopped here!!! We had never heard of mead, and was a little hesitant but as soon as we walked in, one of the owners greeted us from behind the bar. I tried a flight of the sparkling mead, my husband got a stout beer. Everything we tried, we liked. Especially the R, B & B! We even got to take a tour the back. All the staff were friendly and we enjoyed talking to them. read more

2/12/2022 Second visit. Meadery. Honey alcohol + People here are very friendly and will answer any questions you have. If you are day-tripping to the mountains for a hike or just a curvy drive, stop here and sample taste. We always bring home a large bottle of the granny's apple pie. My daughter was visiting from Hawaii and was disappointed to find she could not transport a bottle home with her, it was her fav too! read more

Super cool place! Only issue is if you want to sit outside the majority of the area is right over 4 sewer drain caps and the occasional wiff of doodoo kinda ruined the vibe! Cool place but come on man cover it up! read more

The meads were fantastic and very budget friendly. Unable to catch the name of the food truck when we visited, but that couple served amazing brisket sandwiches. I hope you're lucky when you stop by and they're there. read more

We were on our way to go shopping in downtown Dahlonega, GA & we saw Brewery to the right. We stopped inside and I loved the atmosphere right away. The tanks to the right making the product the smells of citrus, & hoops was warm & inviting. The young lady who helped us was great and patient with us. Made great suggestions for us to try. They have plenty of outdoor seating and dogs are allowed. They even had a large fire pit Ali go with corn boards to play. They even have options to purchase their beers canned and can mix and match to what you enjoyed. If you plane to hang out for a while bring some little snacks crackers, cheese, pepperoni, nuts to snack on or they have a very small option for one person to have some sliced salami & olives. Great place to visit can't wait to go again. read more

My friend and I stayed in Dahlonega for a weekend and stumbled upon the meadery after passing it a few times. They had so many options from traditional meads to special varieties. I loved the fact that you could a flight - it made decision making a bit easier. They had beer options too for the non-mead drinker. I got the Mead-ahh-rita, sweet hot fuzz, apple pie, and one other that I can't remember. Plenty of outdoor space and tables inside. Great place to check out if you're in the area. read more

Outstanding people and pours. We had never visited and we have been to many small breweries in many small towns. This one gets it right where others drift away a bit from what they may be setting out to do. Many drink options of different types? Yes. High quality ingredients coming through tried and true creations? Yes. Fun for the kids and adults? Yes. A welcoming atmosphere from staff and patron alike? Yes! Julia was so kind and patient explaining everything and welcoming us. Some drinks really stood out. The Little Buzzer IPA, the Boggs Creek Oat Stout, and the Beer on the Square were way too perfected for a brewery of this size. Well done you all. What a treat! read more

So the Etowah Meadery, it's definitely worth a visit. Brewery opens for business at 2pm till 8pm as of writing this review, I highly recommend the sample tasting, meads are amazing. They don't sale much good other then Cheese trays and bags of chips, so bring your own food or make sure you've eaten already. Bar tenders are amazingly friendly, knowledgeable, and did I mention the mead is amazing! Lol. I highly recommend this place after visiting a winery as the wineries close at 5pm and Etowah Meadery opens after 2 till 8. read more

My wife and I made the trek up this past weekend to visit the wine country of NE Georgia. If you do plan to stop here take it slow because it will sneak up on you around a slight curve. We visited many different establishments and while it is certainly nice here it isn't quite what you think of as a winery. Everything is made with honey. Either my taste was off or maybe the taps needed to be cleaned. There was also no food on the particular day we went though they said they sometimes had food trucks - which still just isn't the same. We got a "flight" and just weren't really sure what to do. The activities are incredibly limited and the disheartening part were the children unattended in the parking lot. This place is probably a sad accident waiting to happen. I truly wanted to enjoy but I think the savior for this place would be a larger building with more parking and actual vineyards where one could walk around. There probably is a market here, though, given the awards. Edit: After reading some of the locals (I assume) complaints about the noise and funeral interruption, I probably wouldn't have stopped anyways. We should all strive to co-exist and interruption of a baby's funeral and attacks toward a preacher don't really cut it for me. I hoped that wasn't true but I asked locals and as many as three or four said it was every bit true. read more

I cannot say enough about this spot. The beers, the mead, the staff all fantastic. I highly recommend the bubbly meads. They also have great beers. My beer tasted like a s'mores and was nice and smooth. Must stop spot in Dahlonega! read more

An awesome veteran owned and operated business! The mead selection is large and it was so much fun to try flights (4 2oz pours for $12) to find out what we liked. I really liked their take on a margarita (AKA a Mead-aaa-rita), the RB&B and the Mango Guava. They also have beer options brewed at Three Rangers. They offer snacks, if needed. The staff is friendly, the restrooms are super clean and there's lots of space to socialize. The outdoor seating and overall atmosphere is great. I cant wait to bring friends here next time! read more

I enjoy going to the Etowah Meadery on a regular basis; for me that's about once a month. I like to try out the various meads, and craft beers. I really liked one of the meads that was infused with peppers, so it had a bit of a kick! They still have a ways to go with the Dahlonega Brewery and Three Rangers beers. Seem to be improving but a ways to go to making them memorable. I kinda enjoyed it better when they had guest taps, because they had less common and highly rated beers. Anyway, it won't keep me from coming back. Again, I like this joint. Nice outdoor area in addition to the tap room. If you're in Dahlonega stop by and see them! read more

Etowah Meadery is a must-stop on your tour to the Dahlonega area. I'm not what you'd call a mead connoisseur, but I enjoy a good honey wine when I find it. Their hours are limited to the weekends, but they do open earlier and stay open later than a lot of the other wineries in the area. So if you're planning a weekend visit to the local wineries, they are easy to squeeze in. Our bartender was excellent! After chatting with him for a bit, we decided to dive in and order two flights, a drone (4 of any kind) and a worker bee (4 samples of their sparkling offerings). The presentation of the flights was top notch, served in a wooden tray, with each drink identified with a small card so you could keep track. We enjoyed each sample; I would say there wasn't a single one that struck a wrong note. We mostly preferred the meads and the IPA over the sparkling versions, though. Our favorite of all of them was the Orange Blossom. Perhaps unfortunate for us to fall in love with that particular variety, as they had no bottles remaining for purchase, and didn't know if they would make any more. DOH! After sampling our flights, our bartender put on his 'tour guide' hat, and led us back in their production area where the real magic happens. He generously shared his time, and showed us where they ferment, can & bottle, label, and ship the mead. We marveled at the 55 gallon (700+lb) drums of honey! Etowah currently fits very firmly into the small batch, hand crafted category, and the operation is still managed by just a few people, and I LOVED seeing it at that scale. Overall, a very enjoyable experience, and I highly recommend it. read more

This was an awesome stop. Meads are unique and I hadn't had them before and all of these tasted great. The staff helped explain about what they are and helped us choose some to try. We got the flight and liked them all, specifically the Apple pie mead. We also tried some beers at the connecting brewery but recommend the meads instead. read more

If you like mead, this is the place for you. If you've never had mead, you should come here and try some. The service here is amazing. They do a great job of helping you pick what you want to order and I love that they have both still mead and draft mead. Parking is great, it's pretty easy to find, and the space is open and welcoming. They've also got nice bar snacks. I will definitely try and come back on a food truck night. read more

Seriously good meadery that I'm glad I researched on Yelp! I wanted to stop in just to get gifts for my husband and Dad, and the folks there were kind enough to let me get a little sip of many flavors to help my decision-making process. All of them were fantastic, but my hands-down favorites were the margarita-style and the mango-guava, which is a flavor the girl behind the counter recommended (glad she did, because that's a flavor combo I wouldn't have normally batted an eye at). I ended up leaving with more mead than I care to admit (and even got a few free bags of some killer local pretzels with my purchase!). I had good intentions of sharing the mead, but I polished off that margarita mead faster than I would have thought, and it's not like I'm much of a drinker. I look forward to coming back and enjoying a mead in the really cute environment they have here! read more

My fiancé and I always struggle when we go out to drink because I want wine and he wants beer. We live primarily by wineries, so Etowah Meadery is the best of both worlds. They have local beer as well as mead beer. Tons of yummy mead wine to try. Very friendly staff. They give you popcorn to snack on and every table is loaded up with games. Look forward to next time:) read more

Everything we tried was delicious, but no one ever offered us a sample. They offered us a flight, but when we paid, we had no idea how overpriced the flights would be. You are much better off asking for free tastings and choosing your favorite to get a full size for a much better price. $10-12 for a 16 Oz pour and $20-25 for a 16 Oz flight. Restrooms look like they are never cleaned. read more

Awesome little place in Georgia's wine country. It seems like you are lost, but Google maps knows where it is. Great crew working the taps. Diverse selection between the mead and the brews. Look up their FB page to see what entertainment they have scheduled. The selection constantly changes, so you'll need to check their social pages for UTD info. read more

This place was a fun stop after a day of wineries. Although not overly familiar with Meads myself, my husband quite enjoys them. This place has something for everyone as far as Meads go and the tasting options were plentiful. We actually stopped here twice on our Dahlonega weekend. We took games and played at the tables inside while tasting different Meads. Definitely a casual place to enjoy family time. Seemed dog and kid friendly as well. read more
