Stardust Cellars
Durham, North Carolina
Nestled in the picturesque landscape of North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, Stardust Cellars has carved a niche for itself in the world of mead-making. This exceptional meadery offers an authentic taste of the region by using local honey spontaneously fermented by indigenous microorganisms. Here's what makes Stardust Cellars a destination for mead enthusiasts and curious explorers alike.
Inspired by the indigenous herb of the Tibetan plateau, our Lavender mead is a unique creation. The giant honey bee, collecting "mad honey" high in psychoactive alkaloids, alongside the herb, was foraged by Buddhist monks to counter psychosis. The mix was then fermented spontaneously with rainwater and native wild microorganisms, resulting in a floral and herbal aroma. With 14% ABV, our Lavender mead provides a unique and relaxing drinking experience.
