It isn't a very big layout so there isn't much to see but overall a really nice laid back place to hang out. The mead is pretty cool...kind of tasted like a cross between a wine and a cider with more of a craft beer audience. The honeys they offered to taste were lovely.

Saturday afternoon kokedama (think potting plants, but doing it without pots) was listed as 1pm to 3pm, and with the advice to show up early if you wanted to order drinks or snacks to enjoy in the course of it. Most people seem to have gathered and done their sampling beforehand. We arrived ten minutes early and were third in line to order in the tasting room, where there was only one employee on duty. She was kind and informative, and we managed to walk in to class what used to be politely termed as fashionably late. I had a glass of peach mead in hand, Mr R had a chocolate bar in hand and a black olive pizza on order. The kokedama class was fun, run by a couple who had recently been florists in their own storefront. Tables had been nicely prepped beforehand. An hour later, a mixed group of plant experts and novices left with attractive creations that had a story/memory attached. On exiting the event room, Mr R took our plants to the car and went to fetch the pizza. I wandered back into the tasting room and asked whether she recommended trebbiano or dry Viognier for someone who likes pinot gris. Samples proved tasty and while they were both really nice on their own, I went with a bottle of trebbiano for lunch. The pizza was lovely--great crust, tasty but balanced toppings, perfect serving temperature--and we enjoyed it on the back porch. Splitting it between two adults was perfect for lunch and the rest of the bottle went in the trunk for the ride home. The chocolate bar predictably transformed waiting on the porch with us in full sunlight (our bad planning, it recovered in the fridge at home) as we had a laugh and enjoyed good food. Some of the other participants came and went as well, but most chose to depart for the rest of their day or stay inside in the AC, which I understand. Outside, of course, we got to enjoy local birds, sounds of kids and horses enjoying Saturday afternoon life on nearby properties, and a couple Guinea fowl who wandered by after the pizza was gone. We were on the less finished end of the grounds, but could see the nearby rental cabins (built to resemble wine casks) and a pavilion for weddings and other parties. There were several chairs and tables just outside the tasting room as well as inside. It's not a full restaurant, just a short list of maybe four items to accompany wine/mead tasting or satisfy friends who have tagged along. The shiny columns of bottles are the main reason most people are here, and there is a nice variety of flavors to enjoy. Prices are reasonable and there's the option of a wine club if you want to explore more than just an afternoon of beverages or have favorites you plan on enjoying regularly. You don't have to participate in a scheduled activity to just visit on your own, but it can be an added incentive to make the drive out. They close at 6pm.

With a purchase of 6 bottles we are always given a free bottle of Mabach. While there today to make my usual purchase, my friend accidentally dropped a bottle while taking it to the counter. Of course it shattered everywhere. Kristen was the employee who was working. She looked extremely agitated when walking over to us. We apologized profusely and my friend began to pick up the broken pieces then got the mop/bucket and spent 20 minutes cleaning up the mess. Kristen never once thanked him for cleaning up the mess which he didn't have to do. She also told me she was charging me for the $20 broken bottle and didn't give me the free bottle or even comp me the broken one in lieu of the free one they give. Was I responsible for that broken bottle - yes. Do businesses have write offs for incidents like this - yes. Was a $20 bottle of meade worth losing my $300 monthly purchase over - apparently yes. When my friend asked where he could get fresh water for the bucket to finish the floor Kristen snarled and harshly said she had to get it in the back room. I enjoyed our trips there and loved the wine but I will not support a business who lacks ethics, integrity, politeness, or gratitude for my loyalty. Unfortunately, I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

One of the owners Micah, was bartending and was friendly and knowledgeable. We got a flight with all 6 options. My fiance's favorite was invictus black, which was dry and similar to a red wine. My favorite was black nectaris which was tart and jammy. We learned they make bourbon barrel aged mead in the winter and will definitely be back to try it. The location is in downtown elgin, which is pretty cute.

I had that as a tasting and had to buy a glass too. Imagine a delicious blackberry mead with some nice La Croix bubbles on the poolside. They also have some light snack options which paired perfectly with the tastings. You got to pair up some of the berry forward wines with some of the local chocolate they sell too.

The ones introduced at that time were the semi dry, Traditional Wildflower Mead and I believe the Cherry Nice to Mead You. I couldn't resist and bought the Wildflower which was delicious! I forgot the gentleman's name that represented that day, however, he definitely provided exemplary customer service while also explaining the process of how mead is made. He was very knowledgeable, approachable, and really represented this company at its finest! He truly exemplified the best qualities and aspects of the product he was representing, showcasing it highly and I truly admire that as it is very rare nowadays for somebody to go all out to showcase their product at the Pearl in such way. Thank you for your service once again, and I hope, especially as a veterans owned company, you will succeed and have many more followers to come! After looking at your website, I will definitely have to try that Lemon Citrus Mead sometime in the near future. Hooah! From my family to yours! Well done!
