The Road to Texas Mead Fest: How Vinland Meads Got Here

From a first sip in 2015 to pouring our own in 2025, Vinland Meads’ journey to the Texas Mead Fest has been ten years in the making. What began with a few bottles from Texas meaderies and a win at the Texas Mead Cup has grown into a licensed meadery, countless miles visiting makers across the U.S., and a seat at the table alongside the state’s finest. This September, we’ll be pouring our heritage-inspired meads for the first time at the festival that sparked it all—come raise a horn with us.
