    always a stop when headed to Bisbee. Love this place! Great atmosphere, great music, great staff and great drinks! If you love Mead, you gotta stop here. Beautiful location with alot of character and shirts & souvenirs to purchase.

    My boyfriend and I aren't wine drinkers or alcohol drinkers in general. However, we are experimenters and like trying new things. We never know when we are going to come across something that peaks our interest. We initially got a sparking water with tea and a coffee soda. Then, we saw the flight options. There were some intriguing flavors (and in all about unique flavors and pairings in general). We got a nice flight and truly enjoyed them all. I guess we also learned we like Mead, who knew :). The outdoor ambiance is cute and has an amazing view. The inside was cute and cozy as well. I highly recommend and we want to come back to try some more flavors :)

    We love it here! All the meads are wonderful with such creative flavor profiles. Inside is cozy and they have so many games and books to enjoy. The patio area is so nice, spacious with an amazing view.

    I had tried their Kefi in Tucson and was excited to visit The Meading Room to try their meads in person. The space is so open with lots of seating outside. I shared the tasting with a friend and it was the perfect amount for us (after a day of wine tasting).

    My new shirt drinking space cowboy meat which is my favorite.

    I did not eat I came here strictly for the cocktails. Tell you what, great experience. These guys are awesome in here. They even let us play some of the music we liked on there stereo system. Ambiance's awesome great views.

    Get the August! It is one of the best drinks I've ever had in my life. I like that this place has a variety of drinks - meads, ciders, and wine. Some unique flavors as well such as bourbon barrel aged wine and bubbly mead. The seating area and patio are very cute with lots of different seating options and good views of the surrounding mountains. A nice chill music playlist to which I always appreciate at places like this :)

    Cider Tasting

    I've been here a few times as I'm a big cider fan. They have intimate indoor seating that kind of resembles a casual coffeehouse vibe. They have nice outdoor seating options too for when it gets crowded. I always get a tasting of 5 ciders to try out their many interesting flavors. My favorite ciders are the blueberry and pumpkin ciders thus far. It's right across from AZ Hops & Vines so I always stop in during my Sonoita trips to check out the seasonal flavor.

    Attended their annual May Day festival comprising 8-10 vendors and 2 food trucks. We purchased some dry chai tea and jams (separate reviews). Halfway through the 1-5p event there were about 60 people including about 20 children... a family friendly despite not a lot focused on kids specifically. Plenty of outdoor space and a few board games setup inside at various lounging areas. One food truck specializing in breads had just run out (a shame given the spicy jams we found). The other food truck carried the torch, though started to run out near the end. It was the German Brats truck (separate review) and was a delightful surprise for both of us! On to the meads! Quick/simplified fermentation intro: grapes=wine; fruit=cider; honey=mead. This place specializes in meads and ciders and boy are their flavors amazing and inventive! We found the space cowboy (raspberry) a little too sweet and a tiny bit tasting like a drop or two of cough syrup was included, Lol. The orange blossom was very good. But our mutual fav was the chili mango. Note some of these are ciders and some meads. While none are "syrupy" (they all pour like beer or cider) the meads had a noticeably thicker taste, likely from their honey origins. I'm certainly no expert on meads but I did a fair amount of reading on different websites to become informed first (try this orientation: https://www.seriouseats.com/what-is-mead-how-is-mead-made-best-bottles). They can certainly be carbonated (as all appear to be here and is our preference) but historically they weren't. The only prerequisite for "mead" is the source of the sugar being fermented (honey). Just like wine/grapes and cider/fruit, anything can be carbonated either by forcing CO2 at bottling or adding a tiny amount of sugar/yeast before capping for a natural bubble creation inside the bottle. Flights or samplers are a good way to try a variety but they are very expensive here. Most establishments charge about $3 but you get a 3oz pour. Here it's a 2oz mini cup (think smaller than for dentist's rinse) and they fill them only 2/3 full. Normal servings are around $8 for a 10oz cup. To do the math, at the "tasting rate" 10oz is $15! I think $2/flight of this size is far more reasonable... and would encourage a broader take-home experience. We did buy a 750ml bottle of the amazing chili-mango ($22) to take home. Parking is free and plentiful. The one restroom is spacious, elegant, and clean. Seating areas are plentiful and an ice water pitcher with cups is at the end of the main counter for easy self service. I look forward to returning!

    Spent the weekend in Sonoita for my annual girls trip. It was such an amazing time. This place for sure added to our overall enjoyment! The Meading Room gets 5 stars just for ambiance and cuteness alone. Thankfully they also have tasty booze :) Pros: - beautifully decorated space! - inside or outside seating is a great vibe. - we sat on the patio though because the weather was perfect and the sunset was beautiful. - I did a mead tasting. Bartender was friendly and explained a little bit about mead to the ladies new to it in my group. I mean I'm kind of new to it. I know it's essentially "honey wine". I have not drank much of it but so far I like it. Tends to be on the sweeter side (duh honey) but the right flavor combinations can be so pleasant. Cons: - they closed at 6pm on Friday evening but that seems to be the norm for Sonoita. Most places were closing up early. We would have stayed longer but no worries, it was a great time while we were there.

    Great space and great mead/cider! Conveniently located next to AZ Hop & Vine so you can spend an afternoon between the two venues. Large selection of wine, cider and meads with large indoor and outdoor space.

    Second winery stop today. Liked the way they did their tastings. Bought a bottle of the Lavender Pear bubbly mead. We took advantage of their cozy corner where a giant Scrabble board was waiting for us to play. We didn't get to finish the whole game because we had other places to go and people to see. But sure enjoyed playing!

    This was my first stop Wednesday afternoon in Sonoita. We walked up and there were chickens just hanging out in the grass yard....omg so cute!! I loved this place immediately. I want to come back here when it's cooler outside and hang out with the chickens. We walked inside and I noticed a really cute library with reading chairs. We each did a tasting of 5 drinks, falling under the categories of sparkling mead, standard mead and cider. I do not like sweet drinks and appreciated their star ratings to tell you how sweet each one is. You also get a bag of chips with your tasting. I preferred the sparkling meads to the standard ones and found their descrptions of flavors very accurate. The standard meads tasted flat after having the sparkling ones, so maybe start with the standard ones before tasting the sparkling ones. When I come back, I will just get a glass of the sparkling Orange Blossom Special, my favorite. They have a little playhouse for kids outside and cornhole. The views outside were very beautiful, especially with all the rain recently making everything green.

    We only had about 15 minutes before they closed but they still made time for us. We did a tasting and bought a couple bottles. They gave us some good tips for continuing our trip down the road. We walked around outside and they have some great sitting areas that over look the valley. They had games also.
