Rohan Meadery - La Grange, Tx

It seems like Meaderies are popping up as fast as wineries.   Meads have had resurgence in the U.S with production almost doubling over the last 10 years.  Rohan Meadery started out in 2010 offering meads at various festivals by owner John Rohan and his wife, but now has a shop of their own for all to come and enjoy.  They have quite a full range of meads to taste from dry to sweet.  Everything is made locally at their shop.  They like to source pesticide-free honey.  It can be hard to highlight just a few, as all were quite good.  You definitely can’t go wrong with the wildflower meads.  They just have that all encompassing aroma and taste that a wine lover would expect in a good wine.  The berry meads are really great.  The berry flavor is quite delicious and not overpowered by the honey.  The cranberry mead is super awesome!  You may walk out with several of those bottles and we understand this is seasonal mead, so stop in to try it before it is gone. Do try their special wassel which they gladly also provide recipes for in the tasting room. It is very fitting for a chilly night during the holiday season.  The folks here are quite friendly and are very helpful with any questions during your tasting session.  Their big white dog will be happy to sit with you as you enjoy the patio or country side with a glass of mead.
