Craft producer of sparkling mead located in Eureka Springs, AR. Founded in 2018 in Sonoma County, CA.
Lady of the Hive produces sparkling mead (honey-wine) sourced from sustainable apiaries around the world. We have also continued to produce the eloquent seasonal, wine-based aperitifs infused with fruits, herbs, and flowers that our customers know and love from the former brand Sonoma Aperitif.
Our meads and aperitifs are part of centuries-old winemaking traditions common to many parts of rural France, Italy, Spain, and India.
Our meads are produced keeping the essence of the plant varietal that the honey was sourced from in mind. We seek to highlight and enhance the beautiful nuances of the diverse honey varietals around the world. We use traditional honey such as wildflower, clover, or orange blossom, but we also source macadamia nut honey from Hawaii, mustard honey from India, and various fruit honey from around the United States. Each producing a unique and delicious flavor to discover.
We also occasionally produce unique custom blended aperitifs from local seasonal ingredients. Some of our aperitifs are sweeter, some have a bracing bitter edge, but the thing you'll notice most about them is the way they capture the fruit and flower essence of the season: Moro blood orange in winter, early strawberries and jasmine in spring, white nectarine in summer, or Yali pear and hazelnut in fall, and much more. Every season offers a gorgeous palette of flavors to mix and match. It's one of the things that makes creating aperitifs so fun.
We are in the process of relocating our production and sales operations to Eureka Springs, AR. A magical little town tucked into the Ozark Mountains just on the border of Missouri. Once we have our tasting room up and running, we will update you all here as well as through a personal announcement via email.
