A beautiful and impressive oasis! So so worth it!

This is an amazing oasis in Costa Rica! The owners/operators are very impressive. Alejandra took us on a tour of the grounds that feature all of the fruits, trees and plants that they use in the mead and beer. The tasting was intimate, informative and very tasty. The ingredients are fresh and perfectly balanced. An awesome way to spend a few hours in Costa Rica. Go see Michael and Alejandra! It’s so worth it!

Thank you so much for your positive review of our tour and tasting activity at Costa Rica Meadery! We are indeed passionate about showcasing the natural bounty of Costa Rica through our meads and beers, and it’s great to know that our efforts, along with the freshness and balance of our ingredients, resonated with you.

Best experience on beer tasting

It was an amazing experience; the tour was truly interesting, and the tasting experience was the best. They made it fun by sharing fascinating facts about Costa Rican culture and historical practices. What added an extra layer of delight was the opportunity to taste the actual fruits they use to craft the drinks, providing a delightful sensory connection to the local flavors.
