Mead Is Magic, Wine Is Medicine

Despite associations with Vikings and Ren Faires, mead has a deep and complex global history that we’ll uncover in this illuminating discussion on mead and medicine.

Rather than the majority of wines that are made from grapes, mead is made from honey. But like wine, mead has been revered as a magical and mysterious potion for centuries.

Raphael Lyon, founder and mazer (mead maker) at Enlightenment Wines, will share with us traditional beliefs about mead’s healing powers, which spread throughout the honey-wine’s history. As honey was brewed and fermented with plants or herbs, the beverage took on a higher purpose as a curing elixir. You may be surprised to learn that meads have been made by virtually every human culture across the globe and throughout history.

Allow these tales to ferment in your brain as you sample the shockingly complex and beautifully botanical flavors of a glass of mead poured from tap, included in your ticket.

Tickets $35
