daffodils in a glass vase
Kathleen D.

Four years had elapsed in a flash before my most recent visit last weekend for the Scott's Addition Collaboration Crawl. My friend mentioned wanting to check them out, and I was happy to go along for the ride. I arrived first and perused their list. I tried two different samples, one of their lavender meads and their Bramble Bee blackberry mead. Both were well done, but Bramble Bee won out for me. Mead is so high in alcohol that 4 ounces is plenty. Expect to pay around $10, which I think is reasonable. Service was perfunctory and there were ample seats. I also loved the daffodils; my favorite flower! Nice touch. I'm sure I'll be back at some point in the next four years.

A great little spot tucked away in Scott's Addition. The meads are so good, the atmosphere is laid back, and the staff is friendly. If you're in the area, this is a must visit!

I now follow them on IG, and even several states away- I dream of their delicious meads! I am a sucker for all things honey and a small batch meadery right down the road from my AirBnB was just too easy. We hit them in the middle of the day, right after they opened and were their only customers for about 10 minutes. I tried a flight and bought 2 bottles to take home. Because we drove, we easily shopped to add to my stockpile at home! That raspberry was soooooo good! And Bramble Bee- hmm. Plus I loved the style and vibe. The back room and second bar- so cool. Mural outside & funky fun label art inside- my kind of spot! Highly recommend!

Loved the chocolate raspberry mead and the comfy purple chairs. Next time I want to get the flight and try more.

Tried 2 flights each with 4 meads. The atmosphere is fun and there was a guy playing music in the back. I really enjoyed the decorations around and the comfortable chairs in the front. The meads were not that sweet like previous meads I have had, so I wasn't crazy about most of the flavors. The EOTW was my favorite it had a sweet honey flavor that wasn't too powerful. My Rankings: 1. EOTW 2. Ginger 3. Fruitcake 4. Pomegranate 5. Celebrate 6. Machete 7. Red Razz 8. Living

If this seems like a fly-by tasting - that's because it is. I visited very briefly just to try it out but I didn't linger. I don't fancy myself a mead drinker but hey - alcohol is alcohol! Two types of meads are available; 4 x 'full strength' and 4 x of lighter carbonated 'Sessions' style. I focused on the 'full strength', with the lighter 'Balaton' being my favorite. Second favorite was the Evangeline, which was somewhat sweet. The place is on the small side. But kudos for being dog friendly; I saw one dog that looks the size of a small horse!

Had a great time here. First time trying mead and it was a pleasant experience. I recommend.

Visiting the Richmond area for a work event, I had a little bit of time to kill. On a whim, I ducked into the Black Heath Meadery. Their location is a little hard to find -- on a small street, and tucked out of the way. But, once you've discovered it, you're in luck. The bar area, or tasting area, is small. I may actually have a larger bar in my house. It seats only about 8 people, though a couple of tables scattered around may about double that. They have available at any given time about a dozen different meads you can try, many of which are also available as a flight. Of course I had a flight. Every one of the meads I tried was really, really good, so much so that I bought three bottles, something I wasn't planning on doing. I brought them home, and shared one the next night with my fiancee. In a couple of days, the other two were gone as well: they were so good we had to drink them -now.- Their mead selection changes constantly. Apparently, they like to experiment with different flavours and ingredients, and according to the bartender, they may make batches as small as five gallons. So, you might not find the same mead there twice, and he who hesitates is lost. Indeed, while I was there, they had a new mead that was out and had only six bottles left. The couple next to me bought two, I snagged one, and in the next half hour, two other people came in and bought one each (they limited it to one per person). I imagine that last bottle wasn't there for long -- and it was GOOD. Prices were great, too. The only thing I would like to see them add are some snacks of some sort, and perhaps some bottles of water.

Their traditional mead, The Muse, is a standout--smooth, balanced, and a perfect benchmark for what mead should be.

We stood in a long line just to be told we could not purchase anything. We did go back to the car and found some cash for a glass of wine. The cashier recommended their "bacon castle" red wine and it was pure vinegar - we had to pour it out. My Mom wanted to try their wine slushy, which is what we paid for, but then were told they are completely out and we would have to wait at least another 20 minutes for it to be made. We then asked for a spritzer instead, which was cheaper $6 cheaper for two glasses. But when we asked for the money difference back, the cashier looked at us like we were the crazy ones. Plus, the spritzer was not good either. We did like the little goats roaming by the tower though, which provided a nice ambiance, but that's about it.

This assortment had two whites and two reds--all of which earned gold medals at competitions. For lunch, we shared the grilled cheese with apple slices and the Eastwood salad, which included apples, blue cheese, nuts, and mixed greens. All were delightful. The tasting room has a warm vibe of a country gathering place with tables, a bar, and a stage. They also have outside seating. Their fermentation room has a glass wall that looks into the tasting room so you can see the tanks. Eastwood is located not far from Monticello and other wineries in the area. I recommend it as a definite stop on any wine outing.

I decided on the White Reserve Tasting, and was able to swap out the oaky chardonnay for the Woodland White blend. My friend and I got a table outside as the weather was nice. We enjoyed our wine and people (and dog) watching. My favorites were the 2024 Viognier and the Woodland White. The 2024 Petit Manseng was good, but a bit tart, and the Artist White blend was too dry for my liking. This is a great winery that you should visit when in the area, that's both kid and dog friendly.
