Maddox Meadery
Based in Paso Robles, CA, we craft meads with certified organic honey, vibrant fruits, florals, and spices.
About Us
Our mead-making journey began in 2018 right here in Paso Robles, California. It all started when Kenton received a mead brewing book and a set of one-gallon carboys for his birthday—an unexpected gift that sparked a deep passion for the craft. Our first batch was a five-gallon experiment, split into five distinct flavors: classic, grapefruit, lavender, blueberry, and peach.
From the very beginning, we’ve remained committed to using only certified organic ingredients—from raw honey to fruits, florals, and spices. That focus on quality and sustainability shaped the foundation of our mead.
After years of refining our recipes and perfecting our process, we launched Maddox Meadery in 2021. Today, we handcraft our small-batch, artisan meads in a cozy corner of the cellar at Villa Creek Cellars on the west side of Paso Robles. Every bottle reflects our dedication to flavor, craftsmanship, and the natural beauty of California’s Central Coast.
Whether you're a longtime mead lover or just discovering it for the first time, we invite you to taste the difference that passion, patience, and organic ingredients can make.
