Got Mead? We are an award-winning family owned and operated Meadery located in Auburn WA one block off Auburn Way on C Street. We hand-craft small batches of premium honey wine (mead) in many different flavors. We aim to have something for everyone. We have meads featuring sweetness levels ranging from dry to dessert wine. Our meadery has tasting flights ($10 per person, refundable with bottle purchase) and glass pours, and of course we encourage adopting bottles of your favorites for later. We also have a mead subscription club where members get first access to new flavors and a 20% discount on all bottles! If you have never tried mead before you owe it to yourself to come visit us!
Small batch premium wine outside of Woodinville? Yes it’s possible! We specialize in red wine, but of course we make white wine too. We are located in North Auburn, near the car dealerships. With everything from barrel-aged reds to stainless fermented white wines, we love them all and think you will too. We are also known to put wine & mead into bourbon barrels for aging, with incredible results.
The bottles have arrived! We've got new and returning wines and meads coming soon. Stay tuned for updates! 👀🍷

It’s a bit toasty out there today. You could cook chicken on our front door. 🤣 Luckily there’s good AC on the other side. Stay cool!

Some new wines have joined the Contrivance family. These are limited runs and when they sell out they are GONE! Both of these would be great for your 4th of July celebration! Along with a couple bottles of mead of course. 😉
2021 Sauvignon Blanc - crisp peach-like flavor, great for summer BBQs ☀️ 😎
2021 Rosé from 100% Syrah grapes - refreshing wine perfect for those girls nights...or day drinking fun 🤩🍷
