The Funktastic Fizz: Apple Goo!
Alden C.

Every once in a while Steve and I like to take a departure from our craft beer adventures and try some other route for alcoholic beverages. Usually that winds up being cider but on occasion we go the mead route. It's always a nice change of pace for sure! Funktastic Meads is the latest meadery we got to try. All in all it wasn't too bad. We had some of the Funktastic Fizz : Apple Goo. This mead had the shade of close to a nuclear green hue which definitely grabs your attention for sure. Of course the most dominant flavor is apple here. The body of the mead is soft like many meads. Some stellar meads we have had in the past really focus on subtlety and the flavor complexity but I didn't quite pick up on that as much with this particular mead outing. But regardless it was a fun mead to drink and a nice departure from the craft beer adventuring.

This was my second time coming here - & I can't recommend it highly enough! I just wish it was closer to me in Richmond but it's always such a treat when I come out here. They have unique & rotating flavors that are delicious. In general it's a great place just to hangout too as there are a variety of games to play too. The prices are very reasonable too.

Heather and Matt were awesome! Highly knowledgable and experienced in their craft. For $37 we were able to taste about 10 different meads in so many styles! I've misunderstood mead for the longest time, usually experiencing coiling sweet notes and terrible hangovers. Matt's background in beer brewing shows in his portfolio of flavors. Rootbeer tasting mead? He's got you! Flavors rotate out every few weeks so we will definitely be back. He also hosts open mic nights and comedy nights as well so it's worth checking out their Facebook and Instagram for updates.

Funktastic is AWESOME! Matt, the owner is a super nice guy and he's very passionate about what he does and you can tell when you try his meads. He's very creative and always pushing the envelope with new flavors and cool names to match them. Everyone here is super hospitable. They have a couple of snacks available for purchase but they also offer online ordering in partnership with Tazza Kitchen two doors down, who will deliver it straight to the bar! Keep your eyes on Funktastic Meads and their upcoming events (like Trivia nights)!

iTools friend to check out Funktastic Meads because we both like honey. The mead tender helped us narrow down the flavors we liked. He gave us a couple of samples based on our flavor profile and desired sweetness. We both found ones we liked and proceeded to order our drinks. My friend from SC liked the mead so much, she got a bottle to take home. This was a unique place to bring out of town guests or to have a get together. There is seating at the bar-definitely recommend for your first time so you can ask about the meads on tap.. They have a variety of tables, chairs and sofas or loveseats and outdoor seating. There was live music and a good time was had.

You get to try all of the meads from the standard menu for a great price. They have a lot of creative flavors and concepts.

Came here to celebrate my birthday with my family and we had an amazing experience! The server went above and beyond. He explained the different options to us, answered all my questions about what contains certain ingredients due to food allergies, and even gave me a birthday pour! On top, the place is a whole vibe. It's so funky and relaxed. Felt like a cool place to hangout with some friends. We will definitely be back!

See all

Silver Hand Meadery is a standout spot if you're looking for something a little different from the…read moreusual brewery or winery scene. I am a sucker for flights and they have flights of Mead so that was the main draw for me and it gives you a chance to sample a variety of flavors and blends. They have an entire wall of award-winning Meads. The atmosphere really elevates the experience. With live music, a welcoming outdoor seating area, and a relaxed cozy vibe inside it's a place to spend a few hours unwinding. They offer light snacks, which pairs nicely with the drinks. One of the fun extras and their gift shop is the honey varieties.

Their passion for creating exceptional meads shines through the staff's outstanding service and storytelling in each batch. What truly distinguishes Silverhand, beyond the quality of its product, is the thoughtfully curated member experience. Quarterly subscription pickups are always seamless, and the perks--early‑release tastings, exclusive blends, and members‑only events--make the membership feel like a genuine community. Our latest visit happened to be one of the 10‑year anniversary celebration nights. The meadery buzzed with energy, live music filling the warm glow of the tasting room. It was a heartfelt tribute to a decade of dedication. In short, Silverhand Meadery consistently delivers delicious meads and honey, generous member benefits, and unforgettable experiences that celebrate both the product and the people behind it. I always walked away with a few jars of honey or sometimes their merchandise items. If you're seeking a meadery that pairs quality with community spirit, Silverhand earns our highest recomendation.

Hill Top is a fan fave for me!…read more I wish they'd attend Norfolk VA wine festival again, I miss them so much. My husband and I visited on the Labor Day weekend. I have to always put Hill Top on my list when I am in the area. I ended up leaving with 12 bottles of wine and a jar of the wild flower honey. I wish they'd attend Norfolk VA wine festival again, I miss them so much! Emily "The traveling nurse", ended up assisting us during our time there. She was very welcoming, upfront and honest with her recommendations for our 2 flights that we selected. We chose from meads and berry wines as well. Emily didn't steer us wrong at all. After ordering we sat outside and enjoyed the breeze. Both flights came with oyster crackers and chocolate covered almonds. The Lavender and Persimmons was my fave selection. However, I couldn't pass up an opportunity to snag some bottles of Madison to go. The goats on site were too cute as well! I wish they'd attend Norfolk VA wine festival again, I miss them so much!

I thought I was not going to get to actually see the goats climb it, but as we were enjoying a lovely bottle of wine and delicious charcuterie board when it happened!!!

The winery is not huge, but it is such a cozy and comfy ambiance, with a gorgeous view of the grapes and goats. Worth the visit. I know we will be back!

We stood in a long line just to be told we could not purchase anything. We did go back to the car and found some cash for a glass of wine. The cashier recommended their "bacon castle" red wine and it was pure vinegar - we had to pour it out. My Mom wanted to try their wine slushy, which is what we paid for, but then were told they are completely out and we would have to wait at least another 20 minutes for it to be made. We then asked for a spritzer instead, which was cheaper $6 cheaper for two glasses. But when we asked for the money difference back, the cashier looked at us like we were the crazy ones. Plus, the spritzer was not good either. We did like the little goats roaming by the tower though, which provided a nice ambiance, but that's about it.
