A Star Reimagined 💫

One of the most acclaimed meads ever produced at Silver Hand Meadery has been reimagined as part of our Cellar Reserve Series.

Wish upon the shining stars of Avocado Blossom and Star Thistle Blossom Honey and discover what a mead can truly be.

Shining Avostar is an avant-garde mead aged for 12 months in ex-Amaro barrels from Copper Fox Distillery. Aromas of dried apricot, mango, and citrus rise from the glass, followed by subtle notes of cedar, black tea, and vanilla. The result is a layered, contemplative mead that continues to evolve with time.

Open your palate to possibilities and savor what is good.

Available now.

Happy World Cider Day!

ICYMI, we recently started a new chapter at Silver Hand with the launch of Silver Hand Cider.

Just as our meads began with a desire to rediscover and reimagine honey, we’re approaching cider with that same spirit of exploration, creativity, and appreciation for what nature provides. Our first release, Higher Ground, is crafted from 100% Virginia apples and marks the beginning of an exciting new journey for us.

As we celebrate World Cider Day, we’re grateful for the opportunity to savor what is good in a new way and to explore the rich traditions and possibilities of cider alongside our mead community.

Pictured here is Glenn with his newly planted orchard at home… looks like he’s taking a little bit of work home with him!

Introducing Silver Hand Cider, the newest way to savor what is good here at Silver Hand Meadery.

Just as our meads began with a desire to rediscover and reimagine honey, we’re excited to explore cider with that same spirit of curiosity, experimentation, and creativity.

Our first release, Higher Ground, is a carbonated dry cider made from 100% Virginia apples.

Inspired by hiking trails, foothills, elevation, cool air, and the slow ripening that gives mountain fruit its character, Higher Ground brings together a thoughtful blend of apples:

Winesap and GoldRush for backbone and acidity.
Black Twig for depth and tannin.
Granny Smith for lift.

Bright, dry, and refreshing, this first cider marks the beginning of something new at Silver Hand. More cider releases are coming this fall, and soon, cider will be available to enjoy alongside mead regularly in our tasting room.

This weekend, enjoy Higher Ground by the glass or as part of a special Virginia Cider Flight featuring ciders from producers across the Commonwealth.

Come savor what is good in a new way.
