Catoctin Breeze Vineyard

The meadery operates its own apiaries. They manage the bees and the land, ensuring total control from flower to bottle.

Focuses on regionality and expression of place; using only honey, water, and adjuncts sourced from a specific geographic radius. Emphasizes single-region honey sourcing, minimal blending across regions, restraint in adjuncts that override origin, and emphasis on floral and environmental expression.

Sources honey within a very tight radius of where the mead is produced and consumed.

Mead fermented using non-commercial yeast strains from the environment or raw materials.
