Meadery is sweet as honey

When the couple started the winery and meadery, there was only one or two meaderies in each state, with traditional sweet honey mead being the most made

However, Frits and Suzanne began creating their mead out of local honey such as river red gum and box honey, starting a new trend in the mead-making world in Australia.

Today, the Old School Winery and Meadery is open to visitors wanting to try their game-changing mead and grape wine.

“Mead tastings and tea or coffee are available from our cellar door, and we encourage visitors to bring a picnic and relax in the gardens of the historic Womboota school grounds,” Freya said.

“Pets are also welcome too.”

The Old School Winery and Meadery is located on School Rd, Womboota, NSW, and is open every day (except Mondays) from 10am to 5pm.
