Turning Honey into Wine
For thousands of years, man has sought to find the sources of joy and transcendence in daily life. Along with music, dancing and art, mankind discovered and harnessed the magic of wine making. As a gift from the Gods, wine was used in spiritual ceremonies, public festivities, and to simply relax and enjoy the company of good friends.
Honey has been utilized in wine making since the dawn of history. The myths of different cultures depict the Gods sipping a drink based on fermented honey with herbs. It is known by many names: the Balche of Central America, the Soma of Ancient India, the Nectar of the Gods in Ancient Greece.
Honey is recognized to have a wide range of healing and health-improving powers. When the beneficial properties of various herbs, fruits, berries and spices are combined with honey, they produce a potent beverage offering a variety of benefits to mind and body alike.
Our award-winning mead made from wild flower honey and herbs, fruits, and berries grown on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. With a focus on using local natural ingredients and old tradition method of mead making we pride ourselves in creating a clean local product without adding sulphites.
Our mission is to reintroduce mead into the world together with other pieces of ancient wisdom that we are beginning to rediscover. It is time to revive this unjustly forgotten Elixir of Life.
