Wonderful Visit to Heidrun Meadery!

Yesterday, we visited Heidrun Meadery with our kids, and it was a wonderful experience. It was fascinating to sample different types of honey and learn more about the mead-making process. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the kids had a great time as well. It’s truly an excellent place for families to enjoy while discovering something unique. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend it to others! Thank you for the great experience!

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! 🐝 🍯 🥂

This is our second visit trying different flight of tastings. They sure have unique collection and we were told they were the only one in the US that does the champagne method, and with honey- which i think pretty cool!

Tasting flight is $25, and can be waived if you purchase 3 bottles.

We also tried their honey tasting flight- & they are really lovely honey!

Nice & friendly folks too, great ground as well. It was pouring when we were there so unable to sit outside.

Great collection of souvenirs /things.

Highly recommend to take friends/family here 🍯🥂

If you're making a day trip out of Point Reyes National Preserve, I would recommend stopping by Heidrun Meadery on the way back! The property is welcoming and the atmosphere is very laid back. There's a ton of natural light and open air tables which gives the feeling of more space. My parter tried the both the Essential and the Seasonal tasting, with favorites being the Hawaiian Macadamia Nut and Oregon Raddish Blossom. Overall, it was a great place to kick back and relax after a long hike.

Our visit to Heidrun Meadery was very disappointing -- 5/5 for quality, location, and views, 0/5 for service.

We were a group of seven friends stopping here after a hike nearby. From the moment we arrived, the woman behind the counter was rude. When I asked what the honey tasting included, she snapped, "It's literally written right there," instead of just helping.

We ended up purchasing a honey tasting a couple things and went to one of the picnic benches. On the way out, I wanted to buy some local honey from the tasting, and the ones they had on the shelf didn't match what was in the tasting menu.

I asked for a copy of the menu, and she gave me so much attitude. First she told me to use the one she had already given us -- even though I hadn't received one, my friends had. Then she made a point about how they "only carry a few menus," like it was a big burden to provide one. I was literally trying to buy something.

As we were leaving, the woman who had been rude to us muttered loudly: "I've had a weekend. Don't need it, don't want it, byeee," and waved me off with her hand. Incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful.

What's even more telling? When I checked Yelp and Google later, I noticed nearly every 1-star review is from an Asian woman. There's clearly a pattern here, and it's not a good one.

Beautiful location, but the way service is unacceptable. Definitely won't be back.

Amazing place!!!

First off, it's located in beautiful farm country just outside of Point Reyes Station in West Marin. And second, the wine is delicious.

If you're uneasy about mead or other sweet wines, the wines aren't as sweet as you would think. At Heidrun, it's done in the sparkling 'brut' style, so it's dryer. And each wine they have is made with honey from a single floral source. One will be from orange blossom, another from wild carrot, Hawaiian macadamia, etc. It's incredible the vast differences in flavor depending on which flower the honey came from.

A few quick things about the Meadery itself. You can bring your own food. They do have snack boxes that they sell, but it's probably cheaper to bring your own food. Also, cell reception is pretty poor around the area.

It's a great place to visit just on its own, but its proximity to Point Reyes and many local cheese makers creates many possibilities if you want to enjoy a full day in the area.

We arrived after 1 p.m. on a rainy Tuesday afternoon. We had the place to ourselves for a while, so we were able to ask a lot of questions. Not your normal Meade, but a champagne type Meade that is very light like a beer or wine, depending on the variety. The couple were very nice and led us through the whole experience. A must try! The honey is amazing, as well. Enjoyed the whole experience.

This was our second visit & it served as a reminder how wonderful the Heidrun Meadery is! The meads, made in the champagne method, are a diverse delight. From the California Orange Blossom, which is like a mimosa sans OJ, to the many other flavors, these sparkling meads can be paired with brunch, sushi, salmon and even BBQ!

The tasting experience is magical with the flora and fauna around the grounds that attracts the birds & the bees. So on point with the nature sustainability that their product is all about.

Stop here, smell the flowers, enjoy the tasting, get some to take home & don’t forget to get some honey too! I regret not remembering the name of the general manager who was a wonderful and informative host!
