Planters Ridge Winery

Estate

The meadery operates its own apiaries. They manage the bees and the land, ensuring total control from flower to bottle.

Tej

Terroir-Driven

Focuses on regionality and expression of place; using only honey, water, and adjuncts sourced from a specific geographic radius. Emphasizes single-region honey sourcing, minimal blending across regions, restraint in adjuncts that override origin, and emphasis on floral and environmental expression.

Experimental

Known for producing meads with experimental flavors.

Historical

Specializes in reviving ancient or cultural mead traditions and recipes.

Sparkling Mead

Mead that is intentionally carbonated, either through secondary fermentation or forced carbonation.

Hyper-Local

Sources honey within a very tight radius of where the mead is produced and consumed.

Sage

Light herbal floral, slightly savory, clean dry finish
