The owners, Bob and Dana, are very friendly and knowledgeable and their mead (honey wine) and honey are first-rate. An easy day trip from Victoria for a very unique experience, plus you get to go home with some delicious mead! My favorite was the spicy melomel(?). More

Part of the renown craft-farm movement on Vancouver Island, Tugwell is worth a visit.

A great place for a day trip from Victoria! Try the mead (adults only of course), taste the honey (yummy) and check out the apiary (that's bee talk for hives).

The tasting room at Tugwell Creek is super clean and nicely laid out. Great hospitality and explanation of the workings of the honey farm and how mead is made. The family that fun Tugwell Creek are friendly, warm and hospitable. Great place to spend some quality time learning about mead, honey and the local area around Sooke. More
