A beekeeper gathering honey to make mead.

Welcome!

St Aidan's Winery is the home of the world famous Lindisfarne Mead and Lindisfarne Preserves.

Mead has for centuries been renowned as an aphrodisiac

  • English Wines and Fruit Wines,
  • British Beers and Ciders,
  • Malt Whiskies and Liqueurs,
