Garden Path Fermentation

Meadery in Burlington, Washington

4.8★ 131 Google reviews 7th most reviewed of 19 in Washington

Located in the beautiful Skagit Valley in Northwest Washington, with its uniquely fertile soils and cool, temperate climate, Garden Path Fermentation is one of very few producers in the world that’s able to make beer, wine, cider, and mead, all using ingredients sourced from our own backyard, and may be the only one to do so using only native yeast fermentation. In addition to the products that we make in-house, our onsite tasting room and bottle shop also features beer, wine, cider, mead, and other fermented beverages from small, independent, philosophically-aligned producers from around the world, including many that cannot be found anywhere else in the region.

What Is a Meadery?

A meadery is a place that makes mead, which is wine made from honey. Here is what that means in practice, and what you will find if you walk into one.

Is Mead Wine or Beer?

Mead is wine. It ferments from honey rather than grain, and federal law regulates it under the wine rules, even when it is poured in a taproom that feels like a brewery.
