In Vermont, we will soon be sharing our Caledonia elderberry cordial at liquor stores, our retail shop at Caledonia Spirits & Winery, and farmers markets.
Our black currant honey wine/mead is available at stores in Vermont and Massachusetts, and our retail shop at Caledonia Spirits & Winery. This mead is crafted from pure raw Northern honey and Vermont organic black currants; we call it a Vermont red wine with spirit.
Our blueberry honey wine/mead is an off-dry honey wine, with a vibrant honey character. We use 3/4 of of a pound of organic Maine blueberries per bottle and only use pure raw northern honey for fermentation. The wine is fermented dry and aged in stainless steel for a year. Just before bottling, we add a small touch of honey for roundness. The result is a smooth mead, ready to drink and enjoy.
I began a relationship with honey bees when my brother Tom and I got our first bee hive and placed it on the top field of our family farm. He was 9, I was 12. We were enchanted by these angelic insects that were always flying and gathering nectar, pollen, and propolis. more

“The best fertilizer
is always the footprint
of the farmer.”
Our distillery and winery are rooted in Vermont
agriculture and beekeeping. Seated in Vermont’s agricultural community, our work is a celebration of our special connection to the land, inspired by farms where the production of milk, cheese, timber, vegetables, grains, honey, seeds, and herbs are part of our lives and help define our place.
