A Gentle Awakening at First Light
Violet Dawn — Blueberry Mead
Introducing Violet Dawn, our summer blueberry mead that captures the cool, crisp notes of early morning on the farm. Thoughtfully crafted at Vinland Meads, this seasonal release blends bright, tart blueberries with raw Texas honey for a mead that’s both refreshing and soul‑soothing .
🍯 Honey & Berry Harmony
We craft Violet Dawn using raw, unfiltered Texas honey paired with sweet, ripe blueberries from East Texas . The honey brings natural sweetness and depth, while the berries introduce an invigorating tang—creating a bright, balanced symphony of flavors. This is small‑batch mead at its best: pure, purposeful, and tied to the land.
