GUIDED TASTING of Honey Wine, Sparkling Mead, and Craft Beer

It was an excellent evening.

I went with family and we loved the experience. Not only did we taste some very unique and delicious wines, meads and beers from their vast selection, we also got a very thorough explanation of their ingredients, inspirations and facts related to their development, from the master brewer Alejandra and co owner Michael.

They source fresh ingredients from the Herb Farm next door, and we even got the surprise that one of the ingredients used in one of the samplings, we had tasted in one of the dishes from the restaurant that very day. These shine through the different bottles and there´s definitely one for everyone.

Even amidst the heavy rain, we felt very welcome and satisfied with both the products and the tasting. We will definitely be back!

Alejandra and Michael were a blast to spend some time with and sample a few of their best-selling meads. My husband and I were on our honeymoon and we love mead so of course we had to do a mead tasting! Michael gave us a brief tour of the facility before handing us over to his wife and brains behind the brewing, Alejandra. She walked us through the history and experimentation behind each mead and her passion for her work and the unique local, fresh ingredients she uses was infectious. It was unlike any other mead we’ve ever had but in the best way! We bought a few bottles to bring back to our hotel with us and will be the first to buy more when they’re able to ship to the US. If you love mead, craft beers, or trying new drinks from around the globe, you must do a mead tasting with Alejandra and Michael!

What a great discovery. The co owner of the Meadery Michael called to confirm our scheduled tasting reservation. He graciously made reservations for us next door at the Restaurant located at the Ark farm. It was hard to choose my favorite Mead as they were all amazing. You can tell Michael and his wife have a passion and love what they do. Don’t miss this wonderful experience.

¡Excelente! La mejor experiencia! Súper intimo y seguro, con todas las medidas sanitarias. Varias opciones y mucha explicación.

Fantastic!!!!! The best experience in CR! Private and intimate with COVID measures clearly respected. Tons of drink options and wonderful explanations! Can’t wait to go back!

Here is a place you can let your mind free not far away from the city. Is either good for a quick visit or spending time tasting alcohol beverages. Really enjoy the service since you get to know the passion from the very own entrepreneurs.

Experiencia única y diferente. Me gustó el profesionalismo y la pasión con la que nos presentaron sus productos. Nos encantó aprender sobre el proceso de elaboración y los diferentes tipos de hidromiel. Además, todo estuvo delicioso.

Great experience tasting a getting to know people around the world while tasting wonderful
mead. Would highly recommend

Nice people who love what they do and show it to you with such passion can never go wrong. Amazing product. Want to keep coming here!

Coming here is a MUST for anyone staying in San Jose. Alejandra is a genius mead maker, utilizing the best local ingredients that the farm they operate in has to offer. I was astounded by the complexity, depth, and inventiveness of everything we tried. Truly world class mead, melomel, beer, and more. Her husband Michael gave us a great walkthrough of all of their products and was a pleasure to talk to. We came away with a slate of bottles, a greater understanding of the terroir of CR, and some great ideas for future homebrew recipes. This will be our first stop every time we come back to Costa Rica!

Wonderful educational experience. Premises clean as a whistle. We bought a few bottles to take home. No outside tour because of the rain 😕. We will return for the tour and restaurant.

It was a very great experience. The owners truly provided us a unique experience and were very welcoming. All of the beers, wine, and mead were amazing so the only "issue" was selecting one we liked the most so we purchased all of the ones we tasted. Overall, we had an amazing time and will definitely go back. I highly recommend!

My wife's favorite alcoholic beverage is mead so we have been to alot of different meaderies in the states before we moved and had alot of really good mead. Costa Rica meadery did not disappoint, all of their meads and even their craft beer was fantastic and unique! The owners are both super friendly and know their stuff well! We ended up buying a few bottles and finished them within days because they were so good. If you like mead or even craft beer you'll love everything they have there!

This was the best part of our trip to Costa Rica! I would highly recommend spending a few hours visiting and sampling the great selection of local beer and wine.

My husband and I had so much fun at this little piece of heaven. Michael and Alejandra have definitely put lots of heart and soul into their products. I am not a beer drinker at all. No one has ever been able to convince me to drink beer. But all of their beers are exceptional and I just wanted more. This is a must stop visit if you ever travel to Costa Rica.

We tasted 6 meads- all different and all great! And each beverage had a story behind it. Alejandra and Michael are passionate about their work and it shows in their products. All ingredients are locally sourced- something that is not common in Costa Rica. This was a fun way to learn about (and taste) mead and fermentation. We left with 24 bottles of different meads and lots of ideas about how to pair them with other foods and beverages. Highly recommended for visitors to Costa Rica and local residents.
And even if mead isn't your thing, this place is just a fantastic place to visit. The owners, Michael and Alejandra, are such lovely, passionate people and the property is home to one of the most beautiful botanical gardens I've ever seen. We learned so much about the plants, animals and culture of Costa Rica. And the treehouse! I don't think I can do it justice with words, you just have to see it to believe it.
