What is mead? It is the pleasures of sunshine and meadows in a glass… the nectar of the gods! Taste, savor, and buy from Colorado’s finest meaderies, some of whom are international award winners! This unique event attracts a couple hundred friendly mead-lovers; and is a great initiation for mead-lovers in training.

And remember, the MeadFest is also a MeadMart! You can purchase your favorite meads directly from our prize-winning meaderies.

This year, we’ve moved to a beautiful new location: the spacious grounds of Jefferson Unitarian Church, with both indoor and outdoor spaces for all our activities, plus ample on-site parking.

Included in the MeadFest ticket price, you will enjoy:

  • Tasting an amazingly wide variety of mead from Colorado’s best meaderies.
  • Appetizers to cleanse your palate between tastings.
  • The Orpheus PCC breaking out in song to accompany your sipping enjoyment.

Members of the Orpheus Homebrew Club can enter their private club area to sample the home-brew entries from the Orpheus MeadFest Competition. Come judge for yourself! The finale of the event is the 2023 MeadFest awards ceremony where the winners of the 2023 Orpheus MeadFest will be announced!
