I found heidrun while searching for unique things to do after a morning at point reyes, and I'm so glad! We did put in a reservation but they did seem to have plenty of available space when we arrived around 2:30pm on a Sunday. There are a few mead tasting flight options and a honey tasting flight, and our group of 4 decided to share 2 mead tasting flights and a honey tasting flight. The honey tasting flight you get as 5 jars of honey with some spoons - cute and really nice to taste and see the difference between the honeys, but would have been nice to have had some crackers or similar to help make trying each honey across multiple people easier! None of us have had mead before so this was a great way to try the whole spectrum - you get one glass poured from each flight you order, and get to enjoy it before returning to the bar to get the next meas poured. The mead does taste best cold and we learned to not let it sit for too long after getting each pour - it was really experience the wide range of how mead can taste more dry/sweet and have more wine/beer/sake-like flavor properties. The property is pretty large and we didn't explore beyond the shaded benches near the building with the bar but everything has a cute farm cottage vibe. Definitely a great place to hang out and try something new, and you can even bring your own food to eat as a picnic alongside your tasting!
Such a cute spot for a day trip! They have a little shop inside selling all sorts of knickknacks such as honey, homemade soaps, and other cute little items! My group and I got to try each tier of the wines. They were very flavorful and I love how they explained the notes of each wine. It's a grab and go kind of experience so you try one and then you have to go back to the table to get the next sample. I will definitely be coming back for a little picnic day!
I absolutely love this place!! It's so cute and most importantly makes the BEST mead I've ever tasted. I could seriously drink this stuff all day and I just find it so cool how you can actually taste the different floral notes based on the honey they use to make the mead. This is for sure a must visit if you're ever in the point Reyes area! Loved the vibe and the decor of the whole place
I know nothing about mead but I've been here twice (2019 and today) and enjoyed my glass both times. Since my last visit, they've really built out their garden and tasting area. It's a peaceful, beautiful place and I really enjoyed stopping by on a whim today. The staff are really friendly, and the woman who helped me pick which mead to have today was really nice and helpful. They're a little out of sight in point Reyes station because of their location but totally worth a visit if you're in the area.
Love love love this place! It feels like a picnic at a friends place, music playing, beautiful farm views and their is a farm golden lab named Winnie that came to spend some quality time with us (so soft and sweet). Now for the mead shockingly good. I've always thought of Mead as sickly sweet - this is the exact opposite! Fresh and light and you can really taste the honeys plant origin, blackberry, orange blossom, even radish which was really good! The staff and store is great , it is not fancy but nice just the way I love! So happy I now know this gem!
The first time I learned about mead, I was reading an Old English epic poem about a Scandinavian warrior named Beowulf set in the 6th century, who was drinking mead with his companions when a terrible monster attacked them. I imagined a sickly sweet beverage, oh and lots and lots of blood and bravery. Heidrun was my first time drinking actual mead, or honey wine. Clearly, I had a lot to learn. I had a classic tasting that included four different types. Somehow I imagined mead would come in a tankard, a la Beowulf, but instead it was served in a dainty champagne glass. Two varieties were made from Hawaiian honey and one from local wildflower honey. Mead tastes like a sweet, dry sparkling wine or cider, with subtle flavor notes depending on the origin of honey. Like wine, it can be produced in stainless steel tanks, and later bottled. At Heidrun, the mead is made using the traditional French Methode Champenoise. A $25 tasting fee is waved when purchasing three bottles, at about $30-$35 per bottle. The labels are attractive and include the floral source of the honey hand drawn by a local artist, giving the bottles character and charm. The mead industry has grown significantly since Heidrun first opened in 2017, as the third meadery in the US. Today there are over 300 craft meaderies. The setting is rustic and service includes friendly women pouring, chatting and educating. The grounds are larger than expected. Anyone can pack a picnic in and bring it here. Definitely worth a visit, especially on a sunny spring day.
Heidrun has the most charming outdoor setup -- perfect for a relaxed and intimate celebration. I hosted a group of seven at one of their picnic-style benches outside. While you can reserve online, it's more about giving the staff a heads-up on expected guests rather than guaranteeing a specific table. I arrived around 11 AM and was able to snag a long, shaded picnic table with umbrellas -- ideal for our setup. I brought along some light decor, snacks, and desserts to pair with the mead, and it all came together beautifully. As for the mead -- wow. Everything we tried was delicious, and we had such a fun time sampling the different flights. The standout favorite for our group was the Orange Blossom, which we loved so much we ended up buying a bottle to share. The staff kindly brought it over to our table in an ice bucket to keep it chilled -- such a nice touch! The service truly stood out. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. A few times, they even brought our next pour directly to our table, which made the experience feel extra special. One of the managers (or possibly the owner!) stopped by both during our setup and again mid-event to make sure everything was going smoothly -- amazing hospitality. Bonus: the venue is dog-friendly for well-behaved pups, which is a huge plus in my book. I love being able to include my dog in special days like this. Thank you, Heidrun Meadery, for helping make this celebration so memorable. We'll absolutely be back!
Absolutely loved our time at Hedirun Meadery. It's such a beautiful spot, with snacks and tasty mead. To be honest, before this I didn't know the difference between mead and wine lol, but now I do. It's very serene, peaceful, and homegrown. The prices are extremely reasonable and the mead is tasty. They are also dog friendly, accommodating to all types and sizes of dogs. We brought our Shiba and they greeted her warmly.
Visiting Heidrun Meadery was an unforgettable experience. Set in a peaceful, scenic spot with rolling hills and flowers, it's the perfect place to relax and sip on something unique. What amazed me most was how the mead's flavor changes with the seasons, depending on the flowers the bees pollinate. Each batch is a reflection of nature--like the California Orange Blossom, which was light and citrusy, or the tropical, smooth Hawaiian Lehua Blossom. I loved that you can bring your own picnic and enjoy it on their beautiful outdoor grounds. Sipping crisp, bubbly mead while surrounded by nature made the experience even more special. Keep in mind you can ship the meed back home if you're traveling ! Whether visiting in summer with everything in bloom or in fall for a different flavor profile, Heidrun Meadery is a must-visit.
Visited Heidrun Meadery for a tasting and really enjoyed the experience overall. The mead was great, and the outdoor space is lovely. You can walk around or even bring your own picnic, which made for a super chill afternoon. Everything went smoothly until checkout. The woman who helped us wasn't the friendliest, and when we mentioned how many tastings we had and the tasting promo (buy 3 bottles, get one tasting waived), she didn't really double confirm. I got the receipt by email, and once I got cell service to check it, I realized we were charged for an extra tasting we didn't do. I had to follow up after, but to their credit, they responded and refunded the overcharge. Would still go back, just maybe double-check the bill before leaving.
Mead & Honey Tasting Another highly recommended spot in Point Reyes! The space is absolutely lovely, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We learned so much about mead during the tasting session! Theirs isn't like ordinary mead, which is typically very sweet and heavy. They are the only place that produces champagne-style mead, which is light, dry, and refreshing, with subtle aromas from the honey. Depending on the type of mead you taste, it can resemble champagne, cider, or even beer--super unique and interesting! Another thing I loved was the artwork on the bottles. Each flower on the label represents the type of honey used, and every single design is beautiful. I'm even repurposing the bottles as flower vases--win-win! They offer a few different tasting options: an essential tasting flight, a mead & Dandelion chocolate pairing, and, for non-alcoholic drinkers, a honey tasting. We fell in love with several honeys from different regions and ended up bringing a couple of jars home.
Unfortunately the wine was not good. It had a weird aftertaste. It's outside seating only and it was really uncomfortable on a warm/hot day. The scenery was nice but it would be only be nice for cooler days. Because it's all outdoor open space , a lot of flies and bees. I wasn't familiar with this place and the wine so I asked to staff if they could help me pick a bottle and have a better understanding of the wine and they were not helpful at all. We ended up giving up our bottle to other guests there after tasting
Can't believe I haven't tried this before! Super cute and relaxed mead winery, with lots of picnics tables under the trees that allows picnicking. Three of us walked in on a Sunday afternoon without a reservation and there was another table celebrating a birthday. They waive a tasting fee if you buy 3 bottles, so we got the Orange Blossom and 2 more to enjoy on the patio and to take home. They also sell cheese boxes from Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese that paired perfectly with the mead. They told us the hand drawn labels are done by the wife of the Hog Island Oyster Co owner. I think it would be a unique local gift and I'd definitely go back. The ladies at the tasting bar were incredibly accommodating and friendly.
Such a magical, fairy wonderland, meadery right outside of central/downtown Point Reyes. What's more powerful than bees? Literally nothing. Heidrun is one of your must visits if you're makinga trip up along the Highway 1 coast. Take that PTO and visit on a weekday where you basically have the entire place to yourself. The meadery is easily accessible, lots of parking (not much shade for the cars though), restrooms, and lots of outdoor seating great for the kids and dogs. I went with the seasonal tasting flight, and there's a an essentials one both for $25 value. If you buy three bottles of meads you get your tasting fee comp'd which is so great. I absolutely loved the seasonal flight, as I am all for unique and unforgettable flavors. The sage blossom is absolutely refreshing and so delicious, a great refreshing start to the flight. The chokeberry was very different, it's like a cousin to the cranberry. And the carrot blossom had a little spicy punch to it at the tail end of the sip. Everything was so delightful, effervescent and playful. There were a lot of Oregonian flower meads on this seasonal flight, which was very cool. They also sell so many cute trinkets that you can bring home as gifts, from fresh local honey from the farm to hand-watercolored cards to beeswax lotion and packets of wildflower seeds. It was so hard to not buy anything. Bring a book and sit in the shade, or come with a huge group of friends. Either way you're in for a bubbly good time. read more

Hi Jodi,…
Such a cute and unique place to drop by in the Tomales Bay area. The meadery is extremely aesthetic with a canopy patio of the bar, tables, and shops. There is an abundance of blooming flowers everywhere, and even a small beehive tucked away in the bushes. We did the tasting for $25 with 4 pours of mead. I was very impressed with the depth and variety of flavors; each pour tasted completely different from the next! Heidrun comps 1 tasting for 3 bottles purchased, which was a nice addition. Our hostesses were super sweet and chill. They were more than happy to explain a little bit about the meads and answer our questions. Would definitely stop by here again! :) read more

Serene. This place was out of a fairy garden! An intimate tasting of mead is perfect before heading into tomales bay. We got a bottle for our oysters and god what a ratatouille moment :,) They took time to answer any questions we had and really made us feel comfortable to take our time to walk the property as well. read more

What a gem of place to visit in Point Reyes. Upon our impromptu visit to Marin, I knew I wanted to visit a winery. Such a great find, a meadery in the Bay Area. Had a tasting for $25 which is waived when you purchase 3 bottles. The time when we went they had raw oysters for $3 the lowest around the area --- so good. Tasting bar was inviting with knowledgeable staff. As pours come in, I could walk around enjoying the garden or walk around the tasting room with honey selection and cute merch. Yup, got 3 bottles to go and looking forward to enjoying at home. I'll definitely be back. read more

My friend and I thought we would do a girls afternoon in Marin but everything closed by 4! Heidrun was thankfully open until 5 and was everything we wanted and more. The meads were light and bright. I felt that they were overall very floral on the nose, citrus on the tongue and with varying aftertastes. Sometimes they tasted a little bit like beer! My favorite was the California orange blossom, which happens to be their best seller. I feel that this is a great place to take seasoned wine drinkers as it's so different, but also newbies. Their meads are made with a traditional French method using honey instead of grapes. They cultivate a beautiful wildflower (or maybe just flowers?) garden so their honey bee colonies can thrive. Their honey bees are hard at work making so many varietals for honey and mead! I was blown away by their garden, which was everything. Gorgeous inside and out. Idyllic, picturesque, rustic - such a vibe. Everyone was so nice there and I really enjoyed my time there! I was so thankful about the explanations, kindness and patience given to us. Definitely coming back with more friends to share this amazing spot and to try the honey tasting flight! read more

I don't think I can do this place justice. First taste was of the seasonal Hawaiian Christmas Berry and I was HOOKED! My thought was, "I don't think I'll ever buy another bottle of champagne again!". This mead has so much more going for it between the beauty of being honey fermented wine, the botanical nature of them from the flowers, and the Champagne style Methode. Of course I then wanted to try all of them which isn't quite possible on one trip so I've come back and will come back again! My faves so far are the above, the Oregon Pumpkin Blossom, California Orange Blossom and the Hawaiian Macadamia Nut Blossom. But hey, buy me any one of the bottles and I'll be happy. I think it was the Dakota Chokecherry that may have had a slight clove taste - whichever it was, that was my least favorite. The "Mead Angels" (my name for them) were wonderful - tip them well. It's a low key, more rustic and relaxed alternative to wine tasting with beautiful grounds. Bring a picnic. They have honey tastings and also some cheese boxes but not always available. read more
Such a cute and fun stop on a road trip through Point Reyes. You can pick from a variety of tasting options that include 5 mead pours. My husband and I did the classic and seasonal tasting and shared. It's such a cute spot to wander around while you enjoy your tasting. I saw that some people brought picnics and even Tomales bay oysters while enjoying their mead. Definitely a spot I would return to with friends. They take reservations, but it wasn't needed. We were there on a Saturday afternoon and there was plenty of space and tables. read more

I had no idea what Meade was before this stop... so thankful I read the reviews! It's such a darling location. If you can, definitely take the tour. We both did a tasting. I did basic one, and my friend did the next level one, we shared. Flavors were fantastic! Orange blossom is great! We bought quite a few bottles. We stopped up the street at the creamery to grab a box of meat and cheeses, unbeknownst to us, they had the same boxes there! Great pairings! My only complaint would be there were quite a few people doing tastings and there was one person pouring. This was on a Friday, so it was a little quieter but had there been more people pouring, the experience would've gone smoother and been more enjoyable! But I still would highly recommend! read more

It was rainy and cold when we went so didn't look around outside much. Tried a honey tasting and the honey has solidified it was so cold. I wasn't expecting to be able to taste much difference in the honey but you can! And it's pretty fun! And you can share a tasting so $30 is an ok price! read more
Must stop spot on your trip to Point Reyes! It's a really fun and cute spot to hang out and try the different meads they have available! There are two different flights to try, but we opted for the essential flight. There were four pours, and you make your way back to the counter after you're done with each pour. This meadery was really fun to try!! Each pour tasted like a light beer/champagne, really different than the meads I've had before that were sweet and syrupy. Each of the wines we tasted had a strong smell of honey and the slightest hint of honey taste. My favorites were the Oregon pumpkin blossom and the Oregon meadowfoam blossom because they were absolutely delicious and had the most unique flavor profile. When you visit, be sure to bring some snacks to munch on while you're drinking. They do offer some crackers, honeys, and tapenades for purchase as well. There is seating available indoors and outdoors. Heaters are turned on in the greenhouse, and blankets are available for use! Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They answered all our questions about meads and the meadery itself, as well as thoroughly explained the different meads we were trying. Can't wait to come back!! read more
There aren't too many meaderies in the Bay Area, but Heidrun still stands out for both its meads and its location. The space is beautifully designed and earthy with a lot of outside seating. We did the seasonal and the standard tasting, each coming with 4 different meads to try. If you are familiar with mead, these meads are different - bubbly and not too sweet, but with great flavor from the honey. My favorites were the orange blossom and meadowfoam meads, they were both very unique and well-made. The employees were friendly and knowledgeable. read more

Heidrun Meadery made all my she-shed dreams come true! Step inside a shabby-chic greenhouse barn that's been turned into the meadery's main tasting room. There you'll find dried lavender bunches hanging from the rafters, a display table filled with golden honey in adorable little jars and a colorful array of tiny bud vases beckoning for a carnation or two. Wander over to the counter and request a tasting flight for $25, which will buy you sample pours of four different meads. Note that you'll have to come back to the counter for each pour. My favorites were the macadamia nut and the carrot. Both tasted like refreshing beers on a warm day. Walk the beautiful grounds or grab a nice table outdoors (there are a few seats indoors too). You're allowed to bring a picnic so go ahead and bring a nice lunch or snack to pair with your tasting. read more
A must visit in Point Reyes. Their delicious mead is so delicate and refreshing with subtle notes and exotic flavors. I've driven by Heidrun many times and am so thankful I finally stopped by. Olivia was so warm and welcoming and their tasting room is cozy and chock full of so many wonderful gifts and treasures. A tranquil stop on your next drive to the coast. Cheers! read more
I love everything about this place! The gardens are beautifully groomed and calming. There are many picnic tables for visitors to enjoy. We did 2 tastings and then bought 3 bottles to take home. I really like the orange blossom mead, if you like sparkling fruity sweet wines you would probably enjoy this one too. My husband liked the carrot blossom mead, which taste like a bubbly beer. We brought our own food for picnicking and it was such a nice and relaxing afternoon spent with family and friends. The ladies working at the meadery were very friendly. One lady came over with honey sticks for the kids. The entire meadery is beautifully decorated. I love all the vases with fresh flowers all over the property. If only I lived closer to here, I'd come more often! read more
We are huge fans of Rabbit's Foot Meadery in Sunnyvale and they recommended that we check out Heidrun. We have been sitting on this recommendation for over a year during the pandemic because it's so freaking far, but we finally had the opportunity to make a pit stop on our way up to Santa Rosa. Rating Breakdown: 2/2 Stars for Taste -- If you are a fan of champagne, you'll love the dry bubbly mead they serve here. The flight came with 4 different meads to sample and we couldn't resist adding on other pours they had available. Our favorite was actually the one they "messed up" on and had available at discount...probably because it was sweeter and we have heathen children taste buds. 1/1 Stars for Value -- It was about $20 for a taster of 4 different meads. If you're coming with a larger group, you can even just order full bottles (average $30) and they'll put them on ice for y'all to share. 1/1 Stars for Customer Service -- We loved the set up here! We ordered the tasters at the front and were handed our flutes. Then, we meandered out to the beautiful garden and set up our BYO picnic. At our own pace, we could wander over to the pouring station where the server would explain each mead to us before topping us off. It's clear everyone here is very knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. There was plenty of seating and no one rushed us. There was a hilarious golden retriever(I believe it was the owner's) who would run around and steal food/dog toys while various employees ran after it in despair. An amazing experience and perfect way to spend a lazy Saturday. We picked up oysters from Tomales Bay and had a mini-picnic while sipping on fragrant bubbly. Would highly recommend! Be careful though, we may have accidentally spent $100+ here because we couldn't resist walking away with a bit more mead than anticipated... read more
