The food was good and the drinks were even better. I personally had never had mead, and the staff helped me find what my taste preference was, and they were on point. The fact you could feed the animals on the farm was awesome for the kiddos. I loved the laid back vide of the place, it's quite except the animals, but that's a given. It makes you want to disconnect from your phone and just be present.
Cute off-the-beaten-path stop on our way to Austin! The staff is very friendly and super helpful! They were very patient and spent a lot of time recommending and helping us choose meads, beer as well as food. The pizza was OK - but we adjusted our expectation that this is not a pizzeria. Mead selection was good. The grounds was amazing! I highly recommend making a stop here if you're looking for time yo slow down and be relaxed.
I absolutely love this place. Any time I am in the area I stop in to stock up on my favorite, their cranberry mead. I always like to sample what ever new meads and beers they have on tap though because you can't go wrong. They have a great outdoor sitting area with plenty of shade.
A great destination for those who want to get out of the city and enjoy some tasty meads. When one of my best buddies from business school flew into Houston, we decided to meet somewhere in the middle to catch up and we ended up here. When I arrived, a woman was outside playing some mellow songs on guitar that really set the mood. Due the location of this place, there are quite a few critters roaming around and it is not unusual to have a chicken or two join you at the tables outside. As a mead enthusiast myself, I was really curious what sort of offerings this place had. In my experience, it is often hard to find a place that makes meads that are balanced just right: too often the meads are either too cloyingly sweet or bone dry with no taste. However, all the drinks offered here were spot on. I particularly enjoyed some of the more unique meads, like the pear lavender melomel or the orange spice mead (which I believe is also a melomel). Again, with more unique meads it's easy to go overboard with adding spices and such, and this place delivered on making something that was balanced just right. We also ordered some of these bread poppers, which I don't remember the name of, that were very good--along with a tasty pizza. Definitely a great off-the-beaten-path place to check out, especially if you like mead!
I had the chance to visit the Rohan Meadery the other day, and I enjoyed myself (with a caveat). Finding the place isn't too bad so long as you are paying attention to signs on the side of the road. There is a good sign on TX-159 pointing out which farm road to take, and really the sign by their location isn't bad, but somehow I missed it the first time I drove by. I think I may have been distracted by something else (a Bugatti drove by at one point along there, moving at quite a clip, and it may have been right when I was passing the farm). One turn-around later and I found it without any problems. The meadery is on a farm that grows grapes, various fruit trees, and has an apiary for the honey. There is a large covered area for outdoor events or just a chance to sit and have a nice drink, as well as the main building that holds the various tanks and instruments necessary for making wine and mead. Inside there is a bar to order the various drinks they have on tap, as well as cheese boards that they have available. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable, and were able to answer my questions without issue. I went with a tasting menu, because I am always in search of a good mead and I tend to be picky. Most meads have a tendency to be on the dry side because of the wine industry, whereas I prefer my meads sweet, perhaps too sweet. They also offer their products bottled or in growlers, which is where I run into my caveat: the one mead I really found to be enjoyable was only available on tap, and they did not have any bottled. I'm sorry, but a place that makes and sells wine and mead, offers it all on tap, but then does not have any of that product being offered on tap and in a tasting by the bottle so that you can take some home with you to enjoy at your leisure is not thinking well in the business sense. The local area has a solid tourist flow, and those tourists want to bring things home with them and cannot simply return in a week when they (might) have some product bottled. I could understand if it were just one item on the board that was not available in bottles at the time, but it turned out it was actually a good percentage of the items I sampled were not available. I did enjoy my time there, and if you are going there to sit in what amounts to a beer garden that specializes in mead and wine, then it is certainly a good place to go.
It was our wedding anniversary and we had operated out of Covid caution all year. We had to find something that felt safe yet special. We're so glad we found this spot. Excellent service, amazing ambiance, fun tastings of honey wine called mead, and a charcuterie board bite to enjoy. Highly recommend as a friends' group, family or couples activity. They have an adorable playground for the kids too.
It's in the middle of nowhere but it's a nice facility. The cheese and meat tray was great. Tasty selections and varieties. The wine flight we had and tastings were of some pretty good wines. Our favorites were their specialities made with honey/mead. There is a large outside area with a stage (I assume for live music). The staff is informative and friendly. We will return.
My boyfriend and I found ourselves rolling into the Rohan Meadery on a chilly Sunday afternoon, after an overnight in Bryan. We did three tastings and fell in love with the cranberry, cherry and blackberry mead. We had a toasty pizza with it to round out our sweet lunch stop . Wendy and the staff were so friendly, helpful and quick to take care of us. We highly recommend this spot if you're able to spend the time. We took a growler of the Cranberry Mead home with us. It was a wonderful memory

Heading back to Houston and we really didn't want to cut our vacation too short so we stopped by for food at a local bbq spot and found Rohan on google. We walked in right after they opened and Kelly welcomed us with open arms (after helping us find the spot because we drove right past it. Lol) We aren't wine connoisseurs by any means but truly enjoyed tasting some the meads, wines and ciders they serve and at extremely reasonable price of $10 for 5 tastings. One of my favorites were their Sunshine mead (I bought a bottle of this one) and their reds are to die for! My boyfriend really liked the rosé and the some of their ciders. Kelly referred me to a great local Austin artist, Nathan Hinajosa, that played there the weekend before, and we listened to him the whole way home. She also mentioned a cute camping spot near by that we will definitely consider in the future. I hope we can go back to enjoy the night life that they get on the weekend but stopping in early during a week day and getting to talk to Kelly intimately was great! Sometimes the spur of the moment choices are the best ones you can make. read more

We stopped by on our way home from Round Top. The mead is very good. They produce a variety of flavors. The owner was the person giving us our tasting and happy to answer questions. It is $10 for a taste of five. You can choose from their Mead, Wine or Cider. They also have a trailer on site that makes pizza. Beware that it does take some time for the pizza. The pizza was ok, not sure I would order again. They have growlers you can fill with their mead. They have two outdoor space. One has a bit more shade. They have chickens on site. They allow dogs outside if on a leash. They also have wine slushies' in either peach or sangria. They also have some gift area with tshirts and honey products. A nice way to spend a hour or two if in the area. read more

Was totally impressed with the ciders, meads and pyment available at this location. The blackberry mead was my favorite. The fruit, cheese and meat plate was delicious and a good size for sharing with four people. read more

This is a little piece of paradise and worth the trip. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, cute chickens and the grounds are just out of a fairy tale book, Tip- finish your tasting with a frozen Peach Bellini, there is NOTHING better on a hot day! read more

It's been awhile since I been able to make it out here. It was a belated birthday gift to me. The young ladies behind the counter are so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable, can't say enough. Our eyes were bigger than our stomach, got pizza started with a "B", I'm bad with names, Alfredo sauce, feta cheese, grilled chicken and green olives, so good. The cheese and meat platter. Got full with the samples of meads, ciders and beers. But we had to save room for the honey root beer float! read more
There is an ample variety of mead wine to sample, and the mead ranges from dry to sweet. I was surprised at how much I liked most of mead, as I tend to shy away from overly sweet wines, but the process used here produces delicious mead with subtle flavors and fruit-forward tartness. My favorite was the cranberry mead: it's packed with a flavor punch, yet is very well balanced with tart and sweet. Beyond the mead the estate is lovely, with fields of wildflowers, guinea hens and chickens roaming the property, and friendly resident winery dogs (Great Pyrenees)! Pro tip: after your tasting, purchase a glass of your favorite mead from the tap (which is slightly more carbonated than from the bottle). Enjoy it outside at the covered picnic tables. read more

Outstanding products and service. The idea of mead did not appeal to me because I do not like beer. But the Rohan Meadery is the corporate sponsor of the 2016 Yarn Crawl and so I stopped by during the crawl. OMG so delicious! The $5 flight for five is a wonderful way to sample from their line, from dry, to semi-sweet, to sweet! Try the blackberry and rio grapefruit! read more

Heard about this place because my wife was at a Cidery in Austin. She said the mead was delicious. So on the way back from Austin we stopped by this meadery and had a tasting. This place is awesome! Pulling in you will see bee boxes which they have for the mead! We had a tasting which was $10 for 5 mead choices and they were pairing them with chocolate! Our favorite was the cranberry honey. We decided to also get some food and they had a pizza truck outside! They also offered a cheese and meat plate if pizza wasnt available. My wife also loved that they sold their bee honey and also bee wax products. We bought the growler to come back and refill as well as some bottles. They also have feed in a 25cent machine to feed the chickens and ducks. We also played a game of cornhole while on their farm. This place is great! Oldest meadery in Texas! read more

Found this place on the way out of Austin along 71... so glad I stopped by!! It is a little ways off the road and honestly I thought I was going to the middle of nowhere the whole time we were driving. The meads are so good!! The wines are also good, but I would suggest trying all the meads --very unique and interesting. And apparently, all of the honey is harvested on site from their own bee boxes. There's also a pizza trailer here and outdoor dining/sitting areas. Didn't order anything but the menu looked great with some vegetarian options. Also, there were some cute tiny lambs in a small pen when I went!!!! Can't go wrong with animals! I ended up leaving with a bottle of Sunshine mead. Wish I lived closer because I feel like I'd be a frequent visitor. So glad their Facebook page mentioned that some of their products can be bought in Houston though, because I'll be checking that out :) The tasting is 5 for $5. Do it!! read more
