Moonlight Meadery is no exception to this at all and the mead we had with them was excellent. The mead Steve and I had was the Kurt's Apple Pie. As the name implies it was apple oriented and despite that it didn't taste much like a cider. It was mead all the way which made it all the more fabulous. Strong and boozy this mead was great to sit down, unwind and really get into it's flavor features with.

I had a basic knowledge but he was so informative I walked away smiling that my 30 minutia there were well worth the time. I definitely recommend a stop here even if you're only mildly curious. Most meads are available for a small tasting fee of $3 for a one Oz. pour. I purchased three bottles which were priced at $22 - 25 per bottle. For me anytime I am in Southern New Hampshire this is a must stop. Stop in and support this local business you'll be glad you did.

Honey wine is a wonderful drink for all sorts of occasions, it doesn't need to be a special event to enjoy a glass of mead. I enjoy the variety that mead offers and my line highlights some of the wonderful combinations of honey wine available. I craft mead in small batches because it allows me to have a higher degree of control over my honey wine in the end.

Fun little spot which finally opened up to the public recently! (I've been watching and waiting...)…read more I stopped in for the first time a few days ago and basically had the place to myself (it was the afternoon on a weekday). They had several different types of mead to try. The sampling setup was simple, with options for 1 oz tastings, half pours and full pours. You'll be happiest with your choice if you have some sense for what you want and can discuss it with them, otherwise you can just try them all like I did :). Ultimately I purchased "Aphrodite's Blush" and "Hips and Rose" based upon what I felt the little lady would enjoy the most, as my main motivation for visiting was to pick up something other than wine that we could enjoy together. Aphrodite's Blush is probably the most immediately approachable. "Locks of Idun" was good as well, notably oaked with a bit more of a liqueur feel, but I didn't think she would enjoy it, so I passed. Overall it was a fun place to visit. I did admittedly get more attention than some may due to how quiet it was during my visit, but the owner (one of) who served me was clearly knowledgeable and a fun conversationalist. Stop by, try some mead, relax a bit, and maybe learn something. I know I did. Check out their Facebook page for more details and photographs.

We arrived around noon w out a tasting reservation but got lucky there were spots available. We were greeted by a very friendly staff member outside and told us they had a jazz fest going. Music later and complimentary Mardi Gras necklaces etc! We went into the shop for our tasting. Gift shop and wines etc so nicely done arranged available for purchase.. We had a seat at the tasting bar and had a wonderful time choosing and tasting wine and spirits. I love how u can mix and match and try wine spirits beer and canned mixers. $16 pp including a wine glass. We added a cheese cracker plate for $8. Cheese was yummy! Loved it. Attentive and knowledgeable staff. The pours were once ounce and they did feel on the smaller side, and would have preferred a tasting w a bit more but that's just me! Highly recommend, will do the wine tour next time. We had reservations at J's Restaurant which was excellent. Afterwards we sat at a table to listen to the live jazz music. There was a QR code to order food and drinks. Will definitely give that a try next time. Beautiful location and staff always smiling.

I was pleasantly surpirsed to get seated with no reservation for a party of 2. I do recommend having a reservation though as it can get busy. The atmosphere is great for people who like sitting outdoors on a nice day as there are a ton of tables with umbrellas to keep people cool. You are able to scan a QR code to order anything off the menu and the service is great as the staff brings you the drinks to your table. For food they will text you when to pick up from kiosk. As for the drinks my friend and I both got the sangria, raspberry bellini, and fall sampler. All of the drinks were really refreshing and worth the price. The charcuterie and pretzel bites we got were also great for a nice winery day and the menu is pretty expansive so I want to try some other items in future visits. There were a lot of bees at some of the tables near where I sat and they often crowed the drinks and food so that it something to note. I definitely plan to come back next summer!
