Uncover the history and flavours of one of the world’s oldest drinks on a 45-minute mead tasting at Maxwell Wines in McLaren Vale. As Australia’s oldest meadery, Maxwell has been perfecting the art of mead-making for three generations, crafting honey wines that range from light and refreshing to rich and warming. With four styles to compare side by side, you’ll learn how this traditional drink is made from honey and why it has been enjoyed for thousands of years.
Your tasting opens with the Sparkling Mead, light and delicately effervescent, before moving to the classic Honey Mead, which showcases the natural sweetness and character of honey. Next comes the beautifully aromatic Spiced Mead with its warming spice notes, while the rich and smooth Liqueur Mead rounds out your flight on an indulgent note. Available seven days a week between 11am and 4pm, it’s a perfect stop for wine lovers, curious first-timers and anyone wanting to experience the flavours of McLaren Vale.
