Spend an hour on an entertaining, fun experience learning all about Mead. Mead, also known as "honey wine," is the world's oldest alcoholic drink, dating back to 6000 BC. Kinsale Mead is Ireland’s first meadery in almost 200 years. Using a blend of ancient recipes and modern techniques, Kate and Denis Dempsey have resurrected a love of Mead through the sustainably made, award-winning meads created at their family run meadery.

Each batch is lovingly hand crafted with care and passion using the best local and natural ingredients.
