Our meads are exclusively sold online and at the Meadery in Nanaimo. In addition to our main Esquimalt business, we are also dabbling in a bit of small scale farming, growing garlic, artisanal crafts, honey and mead making. Super small-scale experimentations into the world of traditional mead making. If you want to better understand how Esquimalt is made, it all starts with mead.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll of our honey comes from our own honey bee apiary in Fort St John managed Claude Paradis of Paradis Apiaries FSJ. In the early spring, the first pollen source for our bees is dandelion flowers so we get one lot of 'single varietal' dandelion honey! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe fermented this special honey into a completely dry dandelion mead and then went one more step and wild harvested 20kg of dandelion flowers. We destemmed every flower and let it soak in the dandelion mead for a few weeks to extract all the floral wonderfulness. Much like the country tradition of making dandelion wine, but with added flare from the dandelion honey! The final result is a dry, white wine style mead with delicate florals and a good amount of earthy funk. Serve chilled. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Esquimalt Vermouth \u0026 Apéritifs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48853846458605,"sku":"743292","price":29.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/6407\/9006\/files\/PalmersDandelionMead1Low.jpg?v=1777001208","url":"https:\/\/esquimaltvermouth.ca\/products\/palmers-mead-dandelion","provider":"Esquimalt Vermouth \u0026 Apéritifs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
