Subterranean Mead Cellar

Long before grape vineyards dominated Europe, monastic cellars perfected the art of mead—fermenting raw wildflower honey with pure spring water and wild yeasts. In the damp stone cellars of Baronial Acres Apiary, we continue this noble fermentation tradition.

We never boil or flash-heat our honey prior to fermentation, preserving the delicate volatile aromatics of Washington County wildflower blooms. Aged slowly in neutral oak casks for 12 to 24 months, our meads achieve a smooth, complex balance ranging from crisp, dry table meads to rich, warm spiced dessert nectars.
