The Experience
Sky River Mead provides one of the most uniquely refreshing, alternative tasting experiences in the entire Hollywood District, trading the grape for the honeybee. As a pioneer in reviving the ancient craft of mead-making, Sky River uses pure, sustainably sourced Pacific Northwest honey to ferment a stunning lineup of dry, sweet, and fruit-infused honey wines. The cozy, welcoming tasting room features natural wood elements, whimsical historical accents, and rows of artisanal honey jars.
