So what is Mead?Honey Mead is the oldest of all fermented alcoholic beverages, in ancient times it packed quite a punch - known as "wine of the gods".
These days here at Somertons we aim for something lighter and a little more refined - we make our Mead using a special blend of the Beechwood Honeydew and Manuka Honeys sourced entirely from the native bush on our mid-Canterbury family farm, Mt Somers Station. |

Mt Somers Station - where our honeybees call homeMt Somers Station is a 10,000 acre family farm in the foothills of the Southern Alps. The Station runs up to the snow line of Te Kie Kie - Mount Somers, with hundreds of acres of native Beech forest and Manuka scrub reserves where our 450 hives reside. Somertons Sparkling Honey Mead is made entirely from honey produced on Mt Somers Station.
