Iron Hills Meadery

Iron Hills Meadery in Beaudesert offers a tasting experience with a difference, bringing honey wine to the heart of the Scenic Rim for those ready to venture beyond the usual brewery or winery. Step inside the relaxed country tasting room and discover small-batch meads poured by the glass or tasting flight, alongside build-your-own cheese boards showcasing local produce.

Forget everything expected from mead. There are no drinking horns or medieval feasts here. Instead, Iron Hills is giving the world's oldest alcoholic drink a distinctly Australian reinvention. Local Scenic Rim honey forms the foundation of a constantly evolving collection, from beautifully dry traditional meads to fruit-filled, spiced and oak-matured creations. New flavours regularly make their way onto the tasting menu, giving even returning guests something unexpected to try. It is a little refined, a little country and proudly different.

Set in Beaudesert, the tasting room is an easy addition to a day spent exploring the Scenic Rim's country drives, local producers and spectacular landscapes. Families are welcome too, with a dedicated kids' corner allowing the grown-ups to settle in and enjoy the experience. Born from Toby and Katrina's backyard beehives and a curiosity about what honey could become, Iron Hills has grown into a destination for the mead-curious.

Come for something different. Stay for another glass.
