Honey from the Ehret Estate

As a boutique winery, diversifying into other high-value, small-production goods has always felt like a natural next step. Starting our own apiary was a top priority and a fitting extension of our truffle and olive orchards. Honeybees are fascinating, intelligent creatures, and they're also vital pollinators that support the health and vitality of the Bavarian Lion Vineyard property.

Our goal is twofold:

to keep healthy hives that serve as strong pollinators across the estate, and to offer something new to our wine club members through an exclusive estate honey program. Fresh, small-batch honey is something truly special.

Healthier bees make better honey.

Not all honey is of the same quality, and not all beekeeping practices or bee habitats are equal. The same is true of any farming practice, yet people often don't apply the same lens to wine that they do to other agricultural goods.

We're happy to be working with local beekeeper Travis Tyler, who has been managing hives for decades and takes great pride in caring for his bees. We hope to offer our first estate honey to wine club members in summer 2027.
