Delicious 100% Alaskan wines, from crisp whites to jammy reds, meticulously crafted for your enjoyment.

Sweetgale-Meadworks_Raspberry-Mead

Raspberry

Crafted from wildflower honey and locally-grown red raspberries, this classic varietal tastes like summer, and is typically quite dry, with notes of red berry and fruit.

$32/bottle, $8/glass.

Sweetgale-Meadworks_Blackcurrant

Blackcurrant

Typically our driest varietal, this deep red wine is vinted with wildflower honey and locally-farmed Swedish blackcurrants; it offers a lively mouth feel and wonderful earthy notes of cassis and pomegranate. “A party in a glass” is how one customer described it.  

$32/bottle, $8/glass.

Sweetgale-Meadworks_Rhubarb-Sitka-Stawberry

Strawberry-Rhubarb

Imbued with the unique fragrance of the Sitka strawberry, a pale pink semi-domesticated Alaskan variety of strawberry that is grown in many local gardens, this pale rose-colored wine is often compared to rose wines from the Provence region of France. Perfect for sipping on a sunny afternoon on our patio – or yours.  

$32/bottle, $8/glass.

Sweetgale-Meadworks_Rhubarb-Sweetgale

Sweetgale-Rhubarb

Myrica gale, commonly known as bog myrtle or sweetgale, is a deciduous shrub with highly aromatic leaves and fruits that grows in and around local muskeg bogs. A traditional bittering agent before hops became prevalent, the sweetgale plant produces small nutlets in the fall that give this mead its bitter notes of juniper and black pepper that make it popular with fans of strongly-hopped IPAs.  

$32/bottle, $8/glass.

Sweetgale-Meadworks_Highbush-Cranberry

Highbush Cranberry

Despite its common name, the highbush cranberry, Viburnum edulae, grows on a chest-high shrub that is not related to common, or lowbush cranberries, which are in the genus Vaccinium.  The nose of this varietal is complex, with herbal, floral and fruit notes. Pairs well with wild game.

$32/bottle, $8/glass.

Sweetgale-Meadworks_Wildflower-Honey

Wildflower Honey

Our classic “straight” mead, this varietal contains nothing but local wildflower honey and pure Alaskan water. The yeasts that ferment the honey into a delectable semi-sweet wine are varieties that occur naturally here in Alaska.  

$32/bottle, $8/glass.

Sweetgale-Meadworks_Alpine-Blueberry

Alpine Blueberry

This award-winning varietal combines the stronger flavor notes of wildflower honey with the intense fruitiness of wild Alaskan blueberries, renowned for their high level of health-promoting anthocyanins and polyphenols. The result is a wine that is typically almost black in color and velvety in texture.

$40/bottle, $10/glass.

Sweetgale-Meadworks_Nagoonberry

Nagoonberry

The nagoonberry, Rubus arcticus, a species of dwarf arctic bramble that is related to blackberry and raspberry, is the rarest and most aromatic of our local berries. It is also found in Scandinavia, where it is known as Åkerbär (Sweden) or Mesimarja (Finland). The delicate flavor notes of fireweed honey allow the fruit to shine through; this semi-sweet mead offers a rich mouthfeel and notes of strawberry, passionfruit and guava.

$40/bottle, $10/glass.
