Truly unbelievable experience, such beautiful grounds and view from the tasting deck but the mead itself was what made it so special! We went home with 4 bottles and will definitely be back again someday. Great service and overall awesome experience

Had their mead tasting at the Fall Fair. Super good stuff. I don't always buy a bottle unless I really enjoy what I drink. I totally bought a bottle without hesitation. Very tasty.

Absolutely awesome. We were invited on a camping trip to Hornby with 8 people including us and visited the meadery before the others arrived to the island. It was so beautiful and peaceful and there's a ton of info to read while sitting on the deck between tastings. Aurora was really chill and friendly and we felt welcome and relaxed while we were there. We convinced the rest of our group to visit again. They have a huge table on the top deck and we were told we don't even need to call before showing up with such a large group which we almost couldn't accept....it was so kind of them to accomodate all of us without notice. The guy who did the tasting was gracious and knowledgable and in all the excitement I forgot his name (sorry! :() but he knows who he is. I bought many bottles of Mead myself and the experience continues every time I open one because going there was such a solid good memory for me and my partner. I would highly recommend and I will be back with friends and family!

Decent mead, but not great compared to others in the province. I found the wine styled meads poorly balanced and somewhat simplistic with too much emphasis on black currant in most everything, as well as an overly medicinal metheglin. Good for a few sips but not a full glass. The liqueur's were quite nice, although the recommended addition of soda ended up watering down the flavor past the point of enjoyment. I'd recommend a bit more care when pouring the soda to prevent this.One thing that nearly ruined my experience was the toilets. The only offering is an outhouse, which is fine, but there is no running water to wash your hands afterwards. I simply can't understand how a business that sells food and drink could think it's acceptable not to allow guests to wash their hands. Hand sanitizer is simply not the same. This simply must be changed.The biggest pro, is the setting. Middle Mountain Mead is located in an old cut block with spectacular views, and a lovely garden, surrounded by forest. The staff were also friendly.A few tweaks to the recipe's and some running water and soap would have brought this to 4 or 5 stars.

Plain and simply the best alcohol I've ever purchased. I'm a newer drinker so of course I'm not experienced but Magick Mead in particular is utterly fantastic with a warm, comfortable feeling. Pair it with cheese and a game of Skyrim and you've got yourself a night at home.I'd like to thank those that created the Magick and Black Magick Mead varieties and I hope to get these delivered to my new home.

As if God himself came down to earth and gave us a slice of heaven, It doesn't get better than this. Loved the experience, I come here every time I visit Hornby. Sit upon a patio on a log cabin and bask in the view of Hornby and beyond, and taste the exquisite toil and cultivation of this peaceful island. Ask to sample the Rose Mead, blew me away.Edit: Gets better every year, try the charcuterie relax, oh! and I heard they have extremely tasty lavender lemonade!Kid Friendly, Massive garden spilling over the hilltop for them to play inTry to review this place at under 4 stars, I dare you.

The fella who guided us through the tastings was very knowledgeable and friendly. Very nice tasting meads. Personal highlights were the mead of inspiration, black magick mead, and the grail

Mead is one of those alcoholic beverages that deserves more recognition. I have tasted local meads from Coastal Black (Black Creek, BC) and Campbell's Meadery (Abbotsford, BC). I am glad to add Middle Mountain to the list of places I have had the pleasure of visiting. Parked a little ways up the hill, the garden and views were absolutely stunning. Jeff facilitated our tasting with a generous selection of samplings, even offering little tips I would never have thought of. We ended up buying a box of mead, Black Magic, which, when enjoyed with some sparkling water is absolutely divine. We also purchased a couple other bottles that we loved the most during the tasting. The view alone is worth the visit; however, the hospitality and mead make this a must-visit on Hornby in my humble opinion.
