A must visit in Point Reyes. Their delicious mead is so delicate and refreshing with subtle notes and exotic flavors. I've driven by Heidrun many times and am so thankful I finally stopped by. Olivia was so warm and welcoming and their tasting room is cozy and chock full of so many wonderful gifts and treasures. A tranquil stop on your next drive to the coast. Cheers!

It was rainy and cold when we went so didn't look around outside much. Tried a honey tasting and the honey has solidified it was so cold. I wasn't expecting to be able to taste much difference in the honey but you can! And it's pretty fun! And you can share a tasting so $30 is an ok price!

Round 2 with new friends - we did the honey tasting!Highly recommend doing a DIY picnic with crackers, cheese, and fruit brought from home or purchased downtown. My friends and I had so much fun figuring out with cheese to pair with which honey, and there was enough honey left in the 5 small pots for each of us to take home a souvenir or two. I actually preferred splitting the honey tasting with friends and choosing a glass of mead to consume (with recommendations from staff) rather than doing a full mead tasting.A perfect end to a short day trip from the bay!

Very rude customer service if you're not sitting down for a flight. Girl was not helpful and talking down to me

Unique experience tasting mead. Heidrun's meads are carbonated and taste like champagne. Lots of different meads made from honey all over the world. You can really taste the difference in the honey. I thought this was just a regular winery but mead is made from honey and not grapes.

A wonderful place to spend an afternoon! Heidrun makes sparkling mead (honey wine) that's similar to champagne -- it derives its different flavors from the types of flowers that the bees pollinate. Tastings are informative and delicious, and the location is super chill -- great place for both locals and tourists!

Great place for a team event. Learnt about the process to make mead which was very informative. The chocolate pairing was pretty good.

There aren't too many meaderies in the Bay Area, but Heidrun still stands out for both its meads and its location. The space is beautifully designed and earthy with a lot of outside seating. We did the seasonal and the standard tasting, each coming with 4 different meads to try. If you are familiar with mead, these meads are different - bubbly and not too sweet, but with great flavor from the honey. My favorites were the orange blossom and meadowfoam meads, they were both very unique and well-made. The employees were friendly and knowledgeable.

Travelling to California, I don't generally think too much about mead or other wines that aren't grape based. Yet, here, a stone's throw from the heart of Napa Valley, you'll find this beautiful meadery. The property itself is gorgeous, and one of the nicer "winery" type places we'd visited. A small tasting room is nestled inside of the gardens -- though be sure to get a chance to go behind the main tasting room, and check out the ample seating, large picnic tables, and amazing trees there. Inside, you can do a couple of different flights, depending on what's available. My fiancee and I split one each of the two types, a California one and an Exotic one. The bartender was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, knowing the different flavour profiles produced by the various honeys, and a bit of history on each one.Heidrun's meads are a little bit different than what I'm accustomed to -- they're all bubbly, and extraordinarily dry. Typically, with mead, I correlate "dry' with "flavourless," but despite being dry, Heidrun's still have a strong taste to them. If you're looking for something a little different than your typical California Napa Valley experience, be sure to stop by and give honey wine a try!

I had no idea what Meade was before this stop... so thankful I read the reviews! It's such a darling location. If you can, definitely take the tour. We both did a tasting. I did basic one, and my friend did the next level one, we shared. Flavors were fantastic! Orange blossom is great! We bought quite a few bottles. We stopped up the street at the creamery to grab a box of meat and cheeses, unbeknownst to us, they had the same boxes there! Great pairings! My only complaint would be there were quite a few people doing tastings and there was one person pouring. This was on a Friday, so it was a little quieter but had there been more people pouring, the experience would've gone smoother and been more enjoyable! But I still would highly recommend!

This was our first visit and first time trying mead. It was suggested to us from our local wine bar and it was so dreamy. The property is beautiful and cozy, with picnic blankets, willow trees, lavender and string lights! The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. Great stop after a hike in Point Reyes and to experience something new. Dog friendly too!

Really fun place to do a tasting! I had a blast. The property is well land-scaped with beautiful flowers. The Mead tastes great!

Fantastic place. The mead is fresh and sparkling. Lots of varieties, as each type of honey gives a unique taste to the mead. It's somewhat similar to champagne, but better. Absolutely recommend doing the tasting - you can taste 4 meads for 25$, and it's worth every penny. A unique experience.Owners' are amazingly kind, know all about their product and are excited to share their passion. On top of this, the setting is gorgeous. A must-go in the area!
