AboutGolden Age Meadery
Golden Age Meadery works on Salt Spring Island, where its meads begin with wildflower honey and draw on herbs, fruit and berries grown on the island. Its honey wines take inspiration from old mead recipes and are made without added sulphites. Across the range, recipes include rosemary and balsam needle, dark berries, or apple with cinnamon, clove, star anise and orange peel.

Canadian Mead
Warm honey and rosemary lead an aromatic, savoury opening, joined by citrus peel and earthy herbs. The palate is rounded and gently sweet, with balsam needles bringing a crisp, pine-like freshness through the middle. A restrained coffee note adds depth without turning bitter. The finish is smooth, herbal and quietly lingering. Serve lightly chilled with aged cheese, roast squash, glazed pork or a not-too-sweet nut tart.

Raspberry and blackberry lead a vivid berry aroma, framed by floral honey and a subtle herbal note. The palate is rounded and gently sweet, with tart red fruit and a light citrus edge bringing lift. The darker berry character adds depth without obscuring the clean honeyed core. A quiet touch of herb returns on the finish, which is smooth and persistent. Serve lightly chilled with duck, berry-glazed pork or dark chocolate.

Canadian Mead
Golden honey opens into a layered aroma of apple, orange peel and sweet baking spice. Cinnamon, clove and star anise shape the full palate, while a measured herbal bitterness keeps the sweetness from feeling heavy. Floral notes lift the middle and the texture remains rich and composed. The finish is long, warming and gently spicy. Serve lightly chilled or at cellar temperature with roasted pork, aged cheese or fruit crumble.

Golden honey opens with a clean floral lift and gentle herbal bitterness. Rosemary adds an aromatic, savoury edge, while balsam needles bring a crisp pine-like freshness through the middle. Earthy undertones keep the sweetness composed, and a subtle coffee note gives the finish depth and warmth. Complex without feeling heavy, it can be served lightly chilled as an after-dinner pour.
