Lindisfarne Dark Mead
- FREE UK shipping for orders over £75
Dark Mead is a stirring drink. It has been created in order to respect traditional thinking and to commemorate the region’s Roman to Modern day history. This heady dark drink uses honey sourced worldwide to create the perfect balance.
Produced only at St Aidan’s winery stands which stands in the clear unpolluted atmosphere of our most beautiful Holy Island of Lindisfarne which is a tidal island. It has an ABV of 14.5% and is a limited-edition mead, which includes honey from the hives on the banks of the local river Tweed. The deeper colour of the Dark is echoed in its rich flavour.
Fans of port and sherry will appreciate this drink and its delectable taste. Ideal as both a pre and after-dinner drink, why not treat yourself, your family and your friends to something different.

The company traces its production back to the late 1950s.
The inspiration for Lindisfarne and its traditional meads dates to the 7th Century and the rich ecclesiastical history of the Island from the time of St Aidan’s monastery founded on the Island in 643AD: indeed, aspects of its mead production date back even further to the time of the Roman occupation. The branding incorporates the striking graphics and distinctive visual signature inspired by the magnificent Lindisfarne Gospels crafted by Bishop Eadfrith on Holy Island at around 700AD.
The brand is known across the world and has at some time been sold in far off reaches such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Canada & the USA.
With over 2,500,000 bottles of Original Mead sold there is a strong following.
Based on the tidal island of Lindisfarne 1 mile into the North Sea and linked to England by a causeway the Island regularly receives over half a million visitors each year, many of whom visit the winery and shop.
With a huge range of products. A variety of traditional meads (Original, Spiced, Dark, Elderflower and Pink) along with a range of fruit wines and spirit drinks such as Toffee vodka & Cream liqueur produced and bottled at the winery on this Holy Island.
