Program Description

Event Details

Think all honey tastes the same? In the US alone, there are more than 300 unique varieties of honey, with a range of colors, flavors, and aromas. Just like wine, the characteristics of each type of honey are determined by its plant sources, geography, and climate.

Join us as we learn about how bees produce honey and the factors that influence flavor and aroma. We will then move on to a formal tasting of several honey varietals, taking and comparing notes on each sample’s characteristics.

Note: For the best experience, please avoid eating or drinking anything besides water, brushing your teeth, or smoking for at least one hour before the tasting; and avoid wearing anything with a noticeable scent, such as perfume, lotion, etc.

Registration is required. Adults and teens only.
