Welcome to the website for Starrlight Mead!

We are glad you found us!

When you think of Mead, the heart of central North Carolina is probably not the first thing that comes to mind! You probably think of Renaissance Fairs, Vikings and old English castles. We hope to change that!

Starrlight Mead, located in Pittsboro at The Village at Chatham Mills, is North Carolina’s newest honey winery. Using local NC honey, and lots of love, we are crafting award winning honey wine to surprise and delight you. Directions
