Fun and informative tour. The owner is passionate about his craft! There were a lot more people than I expected to see on the tour (20-ish), which sometimes made it feel tight and hard too see all the equipment (but...it's a free tour, with free tastes, so hard to complain about.) There was a good quantity of free tastes. As someone that doesn't enjoy wine or beer, I wasn't sure what I'd think about mead. Not surprised that I didn't much care for the lower end, short aged (months) mead - many had the hoppy taste of beer or the tannin flavor of wine (which are the reasons I don't like beer & wine). I did, however, really enjoy the (far more expensive) 7-9 year aged mead. It was much thicker, sweeter and smoother than the less aged mead. Others in my party enjoyed all of the mead (they are beer and wine officianados). It certainly gave us a new appreciation and awareness of mead.
