When Van Wijk Winery’s merry band of winemakers first embarked on their mead‑crafting quest, Blackberry Mead quickly became the toast of the realm. Our local raw, unpasteurized honey plays the leading role, while plump blackberries steal the scene as the perfect supporting actor.
You needn’t be a scholar of mead to savor its charm—simply spend ten minutes people‑watching at The Renaissance Faire at Sleepy Hollow and behold the joyful parade of patrons wandering by, goblets in hand, grinning like they’ve found liquid gold.
