Italian and Greek Honey Tasting at Red Bee Apiary

Beekeeper and Honey Sommelier Marina Marchese will lead a tour of Red Bee Apiary, teaching guests how hive location and nectar source determine a honey's color and flavor, and how honey is harvested and extracted from the hive. Afterwards, guests will gather at farmhouse-style tables to taste and evaluate artisanal honeys.

This event will feature Mediterranean honeys such as camphorous thyme, dark forest pine and fir, chestnut, and eucalyptus. Each menu includes carefully orchestrated "tasting flights" of single-origin honeys with perfectly paired seasonal accompaniments: Greek yogurt, locally and estate-produced breads and cheeses are some of the complementary indulgences guests will sample while learning about the role of honey in Mediterranean culture.

The cost is $35.00 per guest. RSVP and pre-payment are required to reserve your spot.
