My boyfriend and I visited Starrlight on a whim and enjoyed ourselves immensely. The staff was friendly, and very knowledegable. They ensured that we knew a great deal about each item we were tasting, and didn't pressure us to purchase anything. The tour we went on was short since it's such a small operation, but it was great getting insight about the mead-making process from the person who does it!

We went last weekend for a tasting ($6 for up to 8 meads that you select from a list of about 14 or so). You have to drive around the back of the former Chatham Mills building (off 15-501, on the left if you are heading toward the circle in Pittsboro). Very neat and clean venue. Staff was so friendly and helpful and explained the mead-making process and even about the building/mill facility. Very unique flavors in both dry and sweet meads. Fruit and herbs. Wow. We bought a bottle of Lemon Balm-so nice for a summer evening around a fire....already daydreaming! The spiced was awesome and the one with pink peppercorn just MUST be tasted! Highly recommend.

This was a very enjoyable sampling of multiple types of meads. There was a surprising variety of meads from semi-dry to sweet to multiple fruit, spice, and herb infused meads. The owners were delightful and you could tell they loved their work and their product. The price was very reasonable, $6.00 for 8 tastings which included your glass. There was a free tour of the processing room as well. This with a lunch in Pittsboro makes a very pleasant afternoon

Starrlight Meadery is what America is all about. A dream turned into reality. The people are knowledgeable and friendly, the meadery is clean, cute and smells great, and the mead is outstanding! We've brewed our own mead and love it. We've been to Starrlight three times. It's over a 3.25 hour drive and we make it gladly. Just can't say enough about these wonderful folks and their mystical mead!

From the moment I heard meadery I was excited, but when we arrived I couldn't have asked for a better experience or better tasting mead! They have flavors ranging from traditional mead, to spiced apple, to sage. Not only do they taste incredible but our server/owner had tried plenty of recipes and gave many suggestions of how to use the mead for cooking different types of food. She even told us to mix a few flavors together, ie. the ginger with the peach. (I can't wait to get home and try this!) I bought 6 bottles and plan to have more delivered. Friendly & knowledgeable staff and affordable prices make for a great stop on your wine tour!

This is an (almost) hidden gem along the back end of the Chatham Mills buildings. Not only are the different meads a delight, but the owners are incredibly sweet themselves. They are also creative in the different blends they experiment with throughout the year. You can't find another experience like this in the state as far as I know. The tasting room also features unique honey-themed gifts and each time we go we have to buy something for a friend. Whenever we have guests stay with us from out of town--Starrlight Mead is where we take them. Then once the guests fly back, we are at the post office the next day shipping their mead home!

My mother and I love visiting vineyards/wineries so we headed to Starrlight Mead for something different. We did a tasting, enjoyed a glass of our favorite picks, then had a tour. This was our first mead experience so I don't really feel qualified to judge the wine other than saying we enjoyed the traditional meads and several of the fruit varieties. Everyone was friendly and informative. The owner also has a wicked sense of humor, which made it that much more enjoyable. Plus, the whole place smells like honey which is a major plus in my book.

My husband and I included this spot on a winery tour we did in Chatham County. Located right in historic Pittsboro, this place is a little treasure. Lovely assortment of wines made from honey. The folks give great information and background. Lovely place to browes as well and conveniently located.

Although the history of mead goes back to the ancient time, I am relatively new to this wonderful honey wine concept. I accidentally found Starrlight Mead which is about 25 min from where I live. The owner and the store people are very friendly, and if you visit there, they will explain to you what mead is about, how it is made, how it is similar or different compared to regular grape wine. They had me try several samples of different flavors. Interesting taste, but it surely tasted like wine made of honey. I bought a bottle of Traditional Off-Dry Mead, which is not too sweet, but has a delicately interesting, stimulating flavor.
