1634 Spring Mead
Isle of Wight County was founded in 1634. The same flowering trees that witnessed that event provide the nectar that the honey bees gather each year to produce our spring honey. The Tulip Poplar, American Holly, as well as other spring flowering trees. The 1634 Spring Mead is our founding mead named in honor of the founding of our county where we are located. As you savor each sip of our 1634 Spring Mead, imagine the birth of our county and what the future of our hillside holds.

Grandpa's Wild Orange
​
Made from a combination of Wildflower and Orange Blossom honey, Grandpa's Wild Orange is a favorite of many. We've dedicated this mead to Robert Higgins (Grandpa), a partner of Serendipity who played an instrumental role in our operations. He fought for our freedom during Vietnam and then supported our national defense as a nuclear pipe fitter at Newport News Shipbuilding. Grandpa touched many lives before passing away in March 2019. He may be gone, but he's never forgotten.. A toast to our military!

Ancient Mariner Orange
​
Alexander the Great brought several types of citrus fruit back to the Western world from India in 400 BC. Thanks to the large concentration of trees in the orange groves, an abundance of nectar is available for the honey bees to convert into orange blossom honey. The distinctive citrus flavor present in the fruit is also available in the nectar. This is what gives our Ancient Mariner Orange its unique smell and exceptional natural sweetness to a mead that would be classified as dry.

Favorite Daughter's Mesquite
​
Natives believed the roots had healing properties for a variety of ailments. Although our mead is made from the honey that the bees create from the sweet flowers of the mesquite tree and has no medicinal claim, one glass just may make you feel that the natives have been on to something.

A Wight Fall Mead
When the fields near our bee yards get planted in cotton for the year we know that our honey bees will be producing a second honey crop from it's nectar. Cotton honey has a distinctive flavor that has been likened to the taste of cotton candy. It is what gives this mead its unique flavor. It's hard to describe, but you'll never forget it once you have tried A Wight Fall Mead.

Warrascoyack Spring Metheglin
As an English shire, Warrascoyack (war-ras-co-yack) was the original name for Isle of Wight County when it was established in 1634. The colonists that moved in after the name was established found it too difficult to pronounce and spell, therefore in 1637 the name was changed to its current name.
The specialty mint to produce this Metheglin, courtesy of Ham Towne Spicery, has a refreshing taste of spring. Just ask for the Mead with the name that can't be pronounced when you are looking for our Spring Metheglin and enjoy the taste of vanilla and mint as you sip your Warrascoyack Spring Metheglin.

She is a Travel Nurse, working in Emergency Rooms around the country, wherever the need exists. This special blend gets its flavor from the woodiness of mesquite blossom honey and locally sourced lavender and vanilla. After uncorking your metheglin, raise a glass to all the masked heroes who are working every day to make the world a better place.

Black Bart's Blackberry Melomel
Legend has it that when Pirate Black Bart's men were hanged in Hampton, VA, in 1720, one brazen fellow drank a final toast at the gallows (We like to think it was Mead) and vowed Damnation to the Governor and the Colony. Pirate Roberts had a reputation for avenging his men, so this was not taken lightly, and the Governor lived in fear for many years. While our Black Bart's Blackberry Melomel can be taken as you wish, we suggest you toast to the continued good health of your mates and leave the Governor's fate to history.

Blue Ridge Basswood Mead
Pioneers first called Basswood "BAST" wood because Native Americans used the fibrous inner bark, or "BAST", to make cordage, fabric, and baskets. Basswood Trees, also known as Linden, have been in existence for millions of years and produce a mead that first appeared in Europe. This honey yields a smooth, light mead with buttery citrus notes. May we present Blue Ridge Basswood. An old world flavor for the New World.
