Heidrun Meadery is located in the remote Northern California coastal town of Arcata, just south of the Oregon border. Founded in 1997, commercial sales of our mead began in September of 1998. At that time, Heidrun Meadery was the only producer of naturally sparkling dry meads in the world (whether this is still the case depends upon who has lately decided to try their hand at this style of mead).
Our new state-of-the-art fermentation equipment was custom designed exclusively for the commercial production of sparkling meads crafted in the Heidrun style. The Meadery's present production capacity is just 1,800 cases per year, produced in individual batches of 50 cases. Our small production scale affords us the flexibility to experiment freely with different honey varieties and meadmaking methods.
Though we do offer tours of the meadery by appointment, ours is a production and research facility, more than a tourist destination. Tourist amenities are few; the "Gift Shop" is conveniently located in boxes on a shelf, and our "Tasting Facility" is wherever we can find elbow room between tanks and tirage bins to settle in and enjoy a little mead. It is by most accounts spartan and intimate, and we like it that way.
