Set on a working farm, the Meadery Experience is for guests 21 and older who want to explore the craft of real mead-making. Our mead maker was born and raised in Poland and uses old family recipes to create an authentic taste of traditional Polish-style Meads—crafted with local honey, fruits, herbs, and spices. All ingredients are sourced from small farms, many right here on our land, grown by producers we know and trust. Weather permitting, we’ll walk through the tropical and native ʻŌhiʻa forest where some of these ingredients are grown. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how raw ingredients are transformed into bold, fermented Meads.

The experience includes a 375ml bottle of handcrafted Mead to take home. Phones down. Bottoms up.
