About the brewery
Helderberg Meadworks is a unique “winery” located at the edge of the Helderberg Mountains where fresh water and local raw honey are used to craft the finest mead. We are one of a precious few meaderies in the state who primarily produce mead. Owner and meadmaker Peter Voelker has been making mead for many years. In 2010 he decided to open the meadery with his wife Kirsten to share what he considers the best mead in the country.
Thanks to the success of our mead and after an exhaustive search, in 2015 we were able to purchase more land to expand our small orchard and add a vineyard. While working hard clearing the land and planting rows of fruit we were able to appreciate the beauty of the location and the view overlooking the mountains. It was clear that this was to be the location of our tasting room. This is the beauty of nature and a perfect location to relax and enjoy our mead and cider.
Inspired by the our Apple Mead, in 2016 Helderberg Meadworks began producing our own hard cider. Hand crafted to our own tastes to bring out the crisp, fresh apple flavor. Our philosophy of using all-natural ingredients extends to our ciders as well. This all-natural approach has helped us to achieve the best flavors possible and stand out remarkably well in the crowded hard cider market.
With the overwhelmingly positive customer feedback from our limited introduction at festivals over the past 2 years, we have decided to make them a permanent addition to our upcoming tasting room offerings.
