"While Scott’s Addition is home to breweries galore, it’s got one special spot up its sleeve: Black Heath Meadery, the city’s first mead maker. The world’s oldest fermented beverage, mead is made from honey and water. Of course, owner Bill Cavender takes it a step further, experimenting with a number of other ingredients, including apples, grapes, spices, and floral buds. And he does this with an important mission in mind -- to support the region’s local beekeepers and reestablish sustainable beehives. How sweet is that?" - The Frontier Project

Stumbled across this place and was absolutely blown away upon visiting. The mead was amazing, the owner and regulars were generous and great conversations were flowing effortlessly. The location is eclectic and warm, harboring a friendly local atmosphere even for an out of state visitor such as myself. Hopefully I get the opportunity to visit Richmond and Black Heath much more regularly.

Gotta come try Black Heath's mead! Made from locally-sourced, sustainable honey via Virginia beekeepers. Come sip some and enjoy the good vibes and eclectic music playing in the background. Right in Scott's Addition. Bill is a mead magician. And also super friendly and hospitable. He makes a wide range of delicious nectar and offers a mead for everyone. Session, dry and/or sweet. All packed full of flavor. The slushies are the perfect refreshing, juicy, flavorful drink to cool you down this summer. So if in Richmond , Va., highly recommend you check them out. Make sure to pick up a bottle (or a few) to go! Gotta support this local OG. 🥂

On the hunt for good mead in the Richmond area... and this is it! We chose to come in on a Thursday that ended up being $10 flight day, and ended up sampling the Red Razz, Hands & Feet, End of the Wait Maple, and Anything Goes - Plum. All were fantastic! The maple mead was a bit on the sweeter side, but it was perfectly balanced out with the refreshing lightness of the Hands & Feet mead. Would definitely recommend and definitely stopping back in!

Great mead and friendly service! Tasted a flight, loved the apricot seltzer, berry goode very good as well. Ginger was good, very gingery, as was ginger ale. Mangosteen was fantastic, perfect balance of sweet and spicy, maybe not for everyone. Lots of very unique options, almost all are must-tries if you're into mead, definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!

My daughter took me here to try a wine flight with a charcuterie board. We tried 4 different wines, but they didn't have the charcuterie board. I was disappointed about that. Out of the 4 wines, we only enjoyed 2. This place is very cute, small, and quaint. Will most likely never return only because I enjoy eating or snacking when I drink wine. Staff friendly and place clean and inviting.

Really awesome spot! My wife and I stopped in for our second visit yesterday and we loved it. There are tons of options so we each picked a different flight to try. The service is great and we had a nice conversation with the bartender. We'll be back!

Black Heath Meadery was our first and best stop in Scott's Addition. Bill and his friend Bob were so friendly and gave us an interesting history lesson on Mead. We loved the whole experience.

A great range of meads that are distinct and highly enjoyable. I recommend a flight to taste multiples, and the mead slushies are perfect on a hot day. The atmosphere is equally wonderful with cool artwork and comfy seating -- and the staff was very kind, attentive, and helpful. Always happy to come back!
