Raising a Horn to the Bees
Raising a Horn to the Bees

At Vinland Meads, every bottle starts with a promise—to protect the bees, honor the land, and craft mead with purpose. In a world where pollinators are vanishing and ecosystems hang in the balance, we believe meaderies can be part of the solution. By raising bees, harvesting raw wildflower honey, and turning it into small-batch honey wine, we’re doing more than reviving an ancient drink—we’re helping preserve the future. This article explores how mead makers across the world are supporting apiaries, biodiversity, and environmental stewardship—and why raising a horn to the bees might just help save the earth.

Mead Across Cultures
Mead Across Cultures

From the misty glens of Scotland to the royal courts of Ethiopia, mead has long been more than just a drink—it’s a shared legacy of humanity. Across continents and centuries, cultures have turned honey into sacred offerings, medicinal tonics, and celebratory brews.

At Vinland Meads, we honor this rich tradition in every bottle, keeping not only bees alive—but the stories, rituals, and heritage they helped ferment.

Vinland Meads is a generational Project coming to life. Our brewing process has been passed down from generation to generation since our family's left the isle of Scotland. We take that responsibility whole heartedly and create Meads our ancestors would be proud of. From the honey our bee's produce to the bottling as a family, Vinland Meads is a tradition we live.
