A Hand-On Mead Finishing Experience
Ever wondered how a winemaker takes a good beverage and turns it into something exceptional?
Join Prairie Bee Meadery for an interactive finishing workshop where you’ll experiment with flavour, balance, sweetness, acidity, oak, and aroma — learning the hidden final stage of winemaking while creating a signature mead of your own.
Don’t think of this as a lecture or a chemistry class. It’s a playful, guided exploration of how small finishing decisions can completely transform a beverage.

Experience Description
Your experience begins with a short countryside drive from Moose Jaw to Prairie Bee Meadery, where you’ll be welcomed into our space for an afternoon of good food, great company, and a little something different.
During this hosted workshop, guests will work from an unfinished traditional mead and explore how winemakers use finishing techniques to shape the final flavour and character of a wine.
Through guided tastings and hands-on experimentation, you’ll learn how sweetness, acidity, oak, texture, fruit, and aroma affect the finished product — then apply those techniques to create a personalized mead tailored to your own taste.
Each guest will:
- experiment with a variety of finishing additions
- create a signature finished mead
- compare your unique finishing style to other guests through some sampling
- snack on a Prairie Bee Charcuterie box while they play – it’s a meal in a box
- bottle and label a 750 ml bottle of your own creation to take home to impress friends and family.
What’s Included
- Round-trip transportation from Moose Jaw
- Hosted hands-on finishing workshop
- Guided tasting progression
- Experimentation materials and additions
- 750 ml bottle of your personalized mead
- Prairie Bee Charcuterie box
