Fermented Food Festival

Fermentation, flavour, and a setting like no other… 🐪

We’re heading to the Fermented Food Festival at Summer Land Camels, and this time we’re not just pouring — we’re sharing the story behind it all. 🍷

Join us for a day celebrating the art of fermentation, where we’ll be serving our handcrafted meads by the glass, alongside some of the region’s most exciting fermented food producers.

✨ Enjoy a glass of mead overlooking the farm
✨ Discover bold, complex flavours born from honey
✨ Learn the craft behind fermentation

We’ll also be hosting a talk on all things fermentation — from how mead is made, to why this ancient craft is making a modern comeback. Whether you’re a curious sipper or a full-blown fermentation nerd, you’ll walk away with a new appreciation (and probably a new favourite drink). 🍯

Because mead isn’t just a drink… it’s fermentation at its finest.
