Mead, the world's oldest alcoholic drink, is making a comeback!

Mead, the world's oldest alcoholic drink, is making a comeback!

Often referred to as the “Nectar of the Gods”, the golden drink has enjoyed a resurgence in recent years, with the demand from people eager to buy mead reaching new heights, which has certainly kept us busy!

Here at Lyme Bay, we have been perfecting our award-winning meads for over 25 years now and often experiment with new and bold flavours to push the boundaries of what is possible with mead.

If you are new to mead, then our Traditional Mead is the perfect place to start. If you feel more adventurous, why not try our delectable array of delicious, flavoured meads?

What is mead?

What is mead?

Mead, the world’s oldest alcoholic drink, is created by honey and water fermented with yeast, sometimes containing various fruits, spices, grains, or hops. It is believed that mead was essentially first been discovered when accidentally some honey got wet. When raw honey gets moisture into it, there is a chance that natural yeast will start a fermentation process that converts the sugar in honey into alcohol. Nowadays, the yeast used in mead making is often identical to that used in winemaking.

We was amazed at the choice of Wines, Rums, Ciders, Meads and Gins

Had a great spend up here, We were lucky enough to be served by Trudy in the shop, who was very knowledgeable about the products available. Samples of the products were freely available before purchase which helped us on our decisions a great deal.

We was amazed at the choice of Wines, Rums, Ciders, Meads and Gins available to us, I would highly recommend you to visit this fantastically British establishment for some quality products!

I was told online purchases were available also with free postage on spending over £55. Well done Trudy & Steve @ Lyme Bay Winery

A must to see and the tasting is delicious. Just go and enjoy…

Purchased some Mead, Chardonnay and Rose, and we can’t wait….we had the privilege of the expertise of the owner and the opportunity to taste these fine drinks. Such a beautiful experience and tasting, I was truly impressed by my first experience using this place and I will be ordering again, though next time online which is a shame because we enjoyed the shop visit. A must to see and the tasting is delicious. Just go and enjoy…
