Welcome to B. Nektar Meadery

HOURS:

We're not usually open to the public. But mead tastings and tours are held on the first Friday of each month from 5:30PM until 10:00PM at the meadery. Bottles can be purchased at the tastings, but otherwise we suggest trying one of the many retailers that carry our brand. Check the Where to Buy page for individual stores and restaurants.

DIRECTIONS: 

We're located at 1505 Jarvis, Suite B, Ferndale, MI 48220.

From I-75, exit at 9 mile road and drive West for approximately 1/2 mile.

Turn left on Wanda and drive approximately 1/4 mile. Just before the next light, on the right hand side of the road, you'll see a sign for Moo Moo's Vegetarian Bistro. Go to the back of that building, and there we are.

WHO ARE WE? 

B. Nektar makes honey wine, which is also known as mead. The honey winery was founded by Brad and Kerri Dahlhofer in the fall of 2006 in Ferndale, Michigan. Brad started as a homebrewer in 1998 and got into mead making shortly thereafter. In fact, mead making became something of an obsession that soon was filling Brad and Kerri's house with buckets, carboys and other mead making equipment. It was Kerri that said, "lets start a meadery" after she tried a glass of Vanilla Cinnamon mead. That mead went on to win a silver medal at the 2007 National Homebrew Competition in Dever, CO.

B. Nektar makes meads that extend beyond the traditional honey wine. With so many varieties of honey, how could we not? We let our imaginations guide us. Sign up for our newsletter (at the top-right corner of our website) to find out about upcoming releases.
