Old World Inspiration for the Modern Palate

Sky River Mead, Award-winning Washington Meads & Honey Wines

M
ead... the sacred drink of men and gods alike, brewed from honey believed to have descended from the Heavens as dew then gathered in by bees. Folklore tells us that Mead (honey wine) was thought to bestow health and strength, wit and poetry, and to impart virility and long life to those who partook of its fragrant essence.

From ancient cultures on distant shores, shrouded in mist, Sky River brings the age-old art of making mead into the twenty-first century to create a new tradition.

Sky River Meadery began in 1997 nestled in the rugged foothills of Stevens Pass in the Cascade Mountain Range. Our stunning landscape was inspirational in the development of our meadery ( the gray ~ green of our logo is the color of the Sky River itself ). In 2012 we packed up our honey and moved to the Woodinville Winery District where we've been able to add a tasting room, an event space with artist gallery space, a patio area to enjoy the view & a delicious glass of Sky River Mead, an expansive picnic area, and evolving gardens and display bee hives.

We welcome you to learn more about our Mead and Honeywine selections.

Sky River Mead SOLAS is transformation. SOLAS is a rich, indulgent, opulent true mead made entirely from delicate, golden honey. It transforms as it is aged in Dry Fly™ Whiskey Barrels. SOLAS is available in limited quantities. 2012 production 140 cases.

SOLAS is a delight on its own. Rich as a dessert wine…with dessert or as dessert and delicate enough to pair nicely with saltier cheeses and rich sauces.

…The first rays of sunlight pierce the darkness, shattering the night, chasing the shadows and illuminating the waking world. The mysteries of the darkness retreat to the shadows, the world springs alive in a dew drenched meadow and the deep, quiet forest. Light inspires the flowers to open, the bees to fly, the trees to stretch skyward…light changes everything…
