    This seems like a cool place to hang out, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. There isn't a ton of meads to try though, and some of the more interesting ones are memebers only. I wasn't blown away by the options but my wife likes it there. I cant commit to becoming a member when there are so many other places I like to visit, so I can't speak on any other their more exclusive meads. They allowed us to bring in food from another buisness which made drinking the mead's even easier. Prices seem higher than some other options in the area, not unreasonable. They had some cool geckos on the wall near the bathroom too. We have been here before when there was a bunch of gamers playing D&D or similar.

    THE BEST LOCAL MEADERY My friends and I have made it our mission to check every meadery in the local area because of how good the mead was here, but this one just takes the cake. We have become quite the regulars here. Most meaderies are tucked away in an industrial lot but this one is the easiest to spot. The interior is so chill with very fun wall and bar decor. Plus, a handful of board games to play with your friends while you enjoy your drinks. The person helping us out was super friendly and easy to connect with. You can tell they have a love for what they do. Additionally they have fun events on certain days like karaoke on Saturdays and DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS on Thursdays??!?! Now the mead itself is... Phenomenal! You get the perfect variety of sweet meads, traditional meads, sparkling meads, seasonal meads, and just fun unique flavors. Flights come labeled in these cute crates with little wine glasses but you can also get their CANNED mead to go! The best part is, they use their own honey they have at their hives! So we have also found them at local farmers markets! Overall this is the best meadery around and is my go to spot for anyone who enjoys mead. If you haven't had mead, can not recommend this spot enough!

    Mmmmmm I had no idea they had new flavors every two weeks

    Magnifi jus deliciousness all round! Every two weeks they have different flavors. I was kind of bummed they didn't have the Orange creamsicle flavor I had last time but that quickly went away up tasting the flight! They just have the best flavors and you really can't go wrong. If you don't like sweet drinks then you might not like this but with duration it's so damn good! Highly recommended and it's down the street from me lol! We're probably going to join their membership

    Taste: 5 Value: 4 Service: 5 Here for the yelp elite event! The mead they served was delicious and unique. There are affordable drinks and the flight is always a good deal. Employees are super nice and there was a DJ setting up for evening events. Plenty of board games to play while hanging out with friends and family.

    It was my first time ever experiencing Mead, and it was absolutely delicious. I have a sweet tooth, so this was perfect for me. Everything from the moment I walked in captured my attention. They have an area with arcade games, and they even have some cute pets in here for you to greet. They have a little introduction snippet, too. I was too short to try and find them, but this just adds to the environment. Dez is an ABSOLUTE delight, and speaking to her really gave me a lot of information about how they make the Mead and just knows how to add to the overall experience. You can tell she enjoys what she does and that is HUGE!! I stopped in last Saturday and they were setting up for karaoke. I also spoke to some guests who tend to come in and they were also talking about how much they enjoy this place. I will be back to try more menu items because everything I tasted was delicious. Dez mentioned the no hangover so I would like to highlight that also. I tries the Mango Ginger - soooo refreshing and delightfulto sip on. Hibiscus Dragonfruit Lemonade - dangerous because it tastes like juice but . Foundation - this gives you the taste of honey and man oh man yummy. Royal Espresso - I loveeeee coffee and this I could sip on all day. Dez also gave me a taste of Tea with a Twist of Honeybee and like the name taste just like tea!!! I would say the only thing that would make this place top notch is if they had some food. It was mentioned you can have food delivered here for yourself as you enjoy the ambience.

    Flight of delicious meads.

    The meads are as excellent as ever. They seem to add new ones all the time, which keeps things interesting. They even have a butter bee-r (get it? "bee"-r?) one now, which really does taste like butter beer. It's delicious. Flights are almost always the best way to go because you can try four different meads and, trust me, the pours are generous. The variety of meads is outstanding. Some are sweet, some are bone dry, some are boozy, and some are not. There are plenty to pick from. Great, comfortable environment. I'm a big fan.

    Very cute place for a hangout with your friends. If you fancy a mead and some music with some games - this is theplace for you. Thank you yelp elite for putting this on the map.

    Delightfully sweet honey mead with fantastic spices all vying for my taste buds' attention in the style of Schezerazade's 1,001 Nights, plus a stronger, sweeter Foundational mead that got me buzzed at first sight. Oh and it's #dungeonsanddragons night tonight..

    Mead Me Saturday! What Cool vibes! Went there on a sunny Saturday because I had heard such great things about this meadery and all good things were TRUE! I loved walking into Karaoke night and sitting back listening and sipping these delicious meads! Watch out for the espresso, it has a kick! Will definitely be back

    I love this place! I can say that many moons ago I was never really a fan of "Mead" however that was normally due to trying some batch that someone's uncles cousins next door neighbor made for an upcoming Ren Faire. Stepping inside of this Meadery, you have the honeycomb, honey, bee theme going strong, from the custom wooden honeycomb hanging from the ceilings, to the beekeeper items placed on counters and tables throughout. Every... Single... Time.. I have been here, I have had a super warm welcome, polite conversation and well offered suggestions on what to try! Mark is fantastic, you can really sense the passion that he has for his craft. He is always welcoming in answering questions about any of the process of making mead, upcoming ideas that he has had and also very wanting in your feedback on any of the meads. The menu here varies with some new stuff added and some stuff subtracted each time we go back, I suggest a flight to hone in on what your tastes are, followed by a glass of your favorite. They have a club, which I was happy to join now for the 2nd year which offers perks and discounts, their e-mail list also keeps you informed of special events coming up, like the honey tasting several months back. They have quite an assortment of board type games available for you play and hang out for awhile. The best thing is they always seem to have something for everybody, from those who prefer a more dry taste, to those like me who enjoy it a bit on the sweeter side. If you enjoy Mead I recommend coming by and giving it a try, if you don't enjoy mead.. I also recommend coming by and giving it a try and possibly surprising yourself... if you have never had Mead.. definitely come by and see what you have been missing!

    Blood Orange mead that's creamy and not too sweet! My girlfriend brought me here
    William D.

    We tried several versions of the mead, hibiscus, black tea, colada and loved the blood orange. We recommend the tasting flight, only $20!

    Great way to start off and taste the Mead
    Darci M.

    No bees have been harmed in the making of this! Ok, so Andrea was amazing! Talking us through the flavors and sharing all the goodness about Mead. I had no idea the sweet honey nectar made Mead. They take loving care of over 6 million bees locally to produce all of their mead. We tasted all the flavors and will for sure be back. There is indoor and out door seating. We looked on the website and friendly dogs are welcome so we brought out little pup. We also stopped and picked up dinner to munch on while we drank our Adult yummy juice. There are 2 old school video games to play as well as board games to play while you sit and enjoy. Hope they start to offer events again. Sampling food with meads or theme events would be fun. Can't wait to come again and try their new fermented honey and water flavors since they change every few weeks.

    Amazing views and wine. Great service and dog friendly. I used my Groupon with no problem.read more

    Such a beautiful view that even teenage boys will stop and appreciate it!…read more I found a great deal on Groupon that included four glasses of wine and a charcuterie board, enough for four people. It was the perfect way to sample their wines while enjoying the scenery. We also ordered two pizzas: the Sunshine Cheese Delight and the Sunshine Meat Lover. Both were good and hit the spot. We added a large bag of Stellar Pretzel to share, and for dessert (because I absolutely have a sweet tooth), we tried the Sunshine Double Chocolate Cake and Tiramisu. I prefer sweeter wines and ordered the Rosa and Riesling , both were great and exactly what I was hoping for. A couple things to note: I had read in other reviews that there were servers, but when we visited, we ordered inside, were given a buzzer, and picked up our food ourselves. It was also pretty cold outside, and it took some time for the staff to turn on the warmers. We came on a Sunday and learned that live music starts at 3 PM. My husband and I definitely plan to come back for a date when there's live music playing. We were able to park near the top by the tasting room, which was convenient. There's also seating below near a beautiful waterfall and koi pond , it's a bit of a walk down (and back up). Overall, such a scenic spot with good food, sweet wine options, and a relaxing atmosphere. We'll be back!

    We stopped by Belle Marie Winery an hour before close on a Tuesday. Located right off of Champagne…read moreBlvd. (I kid you not) in Escondido, this is one of many wineries in the area. We easily found parking in their complimentary lot. Ambiance (4.5/5): This is one of the things that make wineries great... the scenic views. While they have a tasting room inside, your best option is to sit outside on the small yet charming patio. The best part is that you'll enjoy the mountains in the background as you sip on your vino. Service (4.5/5): We ordered a bottle of wine about 10 minutes before close. One of the owners was nice enough to allow us to stay outside on the patio way past closing time. He said we could stay as long as we wanted. That's the type of service you rarely see at drinking holes these days. Food (N/A): They had various snacks to purchase and you can also add chocolates with wine flights but we were on a liquid diet. Drinks (4/5): If you're interested in doing a wine tasting, they have both a red and white option. The prices are affordable (especially by California standards) for both flights and if you'd like to purchase bottles of wine for enjoying there or to take home. I did the red flight. They serve it to you on a cutting board of sorts with a piece of paper giving you a short description of each wine. From there, we had a bottle of sauvignon blanc. I didn't take any wine home, but you can get a discount if you buy in bulk. One last thing that made Belle Marie an awesome winery is that it was one of the few open on a Tuesday in the area. A lot of them are open on the weekends only or Wednesday-Sunday or Thursday-Sunday. Belle Marie delivered on the only day we could stop by. For that, I'm grateful!

    We had a nice time visiting Belle Marie . The customer service was top notch and the wine we had…read morewas delicious. They do not serve food here, but we were able to get some snacks. We had a tasty trail mix.
