25APR26 Been on their mailing list a few years, and finally my schedule and their (Texas Mead Works/Blue Lotus Winery) day trip offerings aligned. Saturday afternoon kokedama (think potting plants, but doing it without pots) was listed as 1pm to 3pm, and with the advice to show up early if you wanted to order drinks or snacks to enjoy in the course of it. Most people seem to have gathered and done their sampling beforehand. We arrived ten minutes early and were third in line to order in the tasting room, where there was only one employee on duty. She was kind and informative, and we managed to walk in to class what used to be politely termed as fashionably late. I had a glass of peach mead in hand, Mr R had a chocolate bar in hand and a black olive pizza on order. The kokedama class was fun, run by a couple who had recently been florists in their own storefront. Tables had been nicely prepped beforehand. An hour later, a mixed group of plant experts and novices left with attractive creations that had a story/memory attached. On exiting the event room, Mr R took our plants to the car and went to fetch the pizza. I wandered back into the tasting room and asked whether she recommended trebbiano or dry Viognier for someone who likes pinot gris. Samples proved tasty and while they were both really nice on their own, I went with a bottle of trebbiano for lunch. The pizza was lovely--great crust, tasty but balanced toppings, perfect serving temperature--and we enjoyed it on the back porch. Splitting it between two adults was perfect for lunch and the rest of the bottle went in the trunk for the ride home. The chocolate bar predictably transformed waiting on the porch with us in full sunlight (our bad planning, it recovered in the fridge at home) as we had a laugh and enjoyed good food. Some of the other participants came and went as well, but most chose to depart for the rest of their day or stay inside in the AC, which I understand. Outside, of course, we got to enjoy local birds, sounds of kids and horses enjoying Saturday afternoon life on nearby properties, and a couple Guinea fowl who wandered by after the pizza was gone. We were on the less finished end of the grounds, but could see the nearby rental cabins (built to resemble wine casks) and a pavilion for weddings and other parties. There were several chairs and tables just outside the tasting room as well as inside. It's not a full restaurant, just a short list of maybe four items to accompany wine/mead tasting or satisfy friends who have tagged along. The shiny columns of bottles are the main reason most people are here, and there is a nice variety of flavors to enjoy. Prices are reasonable and there's the option of a wine club if you want to explore more than just an afternoon of beverages or have favorites you plan on enjoying regularly. You don't have to participate in a scheduled activity to just visit on your own, but it can be an added incentive to make the drive out. They close at 6pm. read more

Great little winery and mead tasting room just outside of Seguin! The hostess was amazing and had suggestions for both the wine side and the mead side. Will be coming back to try the different wines & meads that they had to offer. read more

When I'm travelling outside a city and have some time to kill before my destination, I'll usually seek out a winery: the stillness of the land and the lush grounds give a sense of ease. Texas Mead Works and Blue Lotus Winery is a small plot of land off the interstates on the outskirts of Seguin. We dropped by for a bit on a drive down from San Marcos to San Antonio and each nabbed a mead sampler. What they do here, they do exceptionally well. $15 scored a tasting of 5 meads, guided by the friendly and knowledgeable staff: "Lucky Monk" (traditional style, on the sweet side), Peach (a fantastic, fruit forward sip), Raspberry (incredible depth of berry flavour), Huckleberry Spice (tart and aggressive, like a good Yankee Candle display), and Boysenberry Chocolate (an absolute revelation, melding fruit and chocolate seamlessly) Well worth the detour read more

I went to Texas Mead Works today because I tried their products at Wein and Sangerfest last year. The mead and the impeccable service were the highlights of my visit. Susan was absolutely lovely and very accommodating to our order. We had a sample tasting of mead and wine and we went home with a bottle of Lucky Monk mead and raspberry mead. The outdoor seating is incredibly relaxing and it was wonderful to enjoy the scenery. I will certainly be back to enjoy everything they have to offer! read more

We enjoyed our stop here for the wine lovers tour. Our favorite was the blueberry lime on tap and we finished 64 oz of it when we got home that same night so safe to say you can find some delicious mead here and cute souvenirs from your trip to wine country. read more

Since trying mead in New England I've been dying to have some more. I'm a new mead fan and enjoy the sweetness and smoothness of it compared to wine. Therefore I was super excited to see this place on a recent trip to the area. We came in and it was slow. We were the only customers in the tasting room. The super sweet intern was so accommodating and attentive. We really enjoyed chatting with her and trying her recommendations. The property is also very beautiful and scenic. I recommend coming to check this place out! read more

I've visited this winery a few times. Lovely place. Wine and food is great. The staff is very helpful. Patio is beautiful.

So, really I am surprised that this meadery exists in the middle of "nowhere I'd be going randomly". My mom has been getting into making mead with the fruit trees back home and so, when in Texas, try Texas Mead. Again, this place is way off the beaten road so unless you're aware of their existence, I'm not sure there will be too many coming here. To start, it was nice and quiet the day my mom and I stopped in, which meant that we got the undivided attention of our hostess. She was highly informative and gracious. My mom had many questions on account of making mead herself, so I just quietly sampled my mead. Mead is traditionally quite sweet, so if you're not much of a sweet person, find yourself to the wine menu with some drier options. (Yes, along with mead, they have wine here.) The unfortunate ending to our tasting was that the tasting was not comped upon purchase of bottles of wine. (Hmm, maybe with time an popularity this one will go?) Anyway, small gripes, small gripes. So, there is definitely a selection if you're not one who is traditionally into mead. The last little tidbit I must relish again was their "Hopped Mead". My mom and I decided to drink a glass outside, wandering the winery, and it was incredible. Think somewhat sweet mead but carbonated (that doesn't happen often folks) and hopped for taste. It was so good, my mother bought a growler and we went on our way hoppy. And maybe a little loopy. read more

Solid experience. Focused on meads, not the wine. The meads are not as sweet as expected. They angled towards port wines to Riesling in taste. Service was solid and enjoyable (melinda). Worthy of a visit! Enjoy! read more

Mead is my drink of choice and it's been hard finding good mead in Texas. This place has truly amazing mead and a great variety. Excited to go back! read more

Awesome spot, we came for a day trip out here, and I was totally shocked this place existed. Loved every aspect of this place; it was very home-like and welcoming. Ours hostess was kind enough to explain the different styles of mead and wine conjured on the campus. With various samples, I cannot imagine how to choose just one. Their blueberry, raspberry, and original honey take the cake. This place was a real surprise and I would definitely come again and enjoy the scenery and drinks. read more

Wonderful meads! The blackberry had such incredible flavor. I loved the Desert Pear Pomegranate - very fruit forward. I brought home plenty of mead to share with my friends. I am already looking forward to my next visit! read more
