Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is mead and how is it different from wine?
Mead is made by fermenting honey with water, sometimes with added fruits, spices, or hops, rather than fermenting grape juice. The flavor range is wide, from dry and crisp to sweet and fruity, so there's something for nearly every palate.
Do I need to like wine to enjoy visiting Drekar?
Not at all. Mead is its own category of beverage and doesn't taste like wine, so people who aren't wine fans often find something they enjoy here. The tasting room format makes it easy to explore different styles without committing to a full bottle.
Can I bring a group for a casual evening out?
Yes, the wine bar setup at Drekar makes it a relaxed option for groups who want to share drinks in a social atmosphere. For larger parties, calling ahead at (719) 434-8402 is a good idea to make sure there's enough space.
Are there food options available at the meadery?
Availability of food at the tasting room or bar may vary, so it's best to confirm directly when you visit or call ahead. Many beverage-focused spots partner with local food trucks or allow outside snacks, so ask about current options.
Is Drekar Meadery a good stop for tourists visiting Pikes Peak?
It's a solid addition to a Colorado Springs itinerary, especially for visitors who want to experience something local and craft-focused. The meadery gives tourists a taste of the city's beverage culture that goes beyond the typical restaurant stop.
Do they sell bottles to take home?
Most meaderies and tasting rooms sell retail bottles directly from the taproom. Confirm current inventory and pricing by visiting or calling Drekar directly, especially if you're looking for a specific variety you tried during your tasting.
