About Nani Moon Meadery

Nani Moon Meadery, located on the island of Kauai, offers a unique and flavorful mead experience for visitors. Despite some initial challenges in visiting the meadery due to its shifting hours, reviewers who were able to make it inside found the hostess to be friendly and informative, guiding them through the extensive mead selection.

The tasting menu provides an opportunity to sample a range of Nani Moon's offerings, including their seasonal and specialty meads. While the tasting notes don't always accurately capture the flavors, the meads themselves are generally well-received, with the Cacao Moon being a particular favorite. However, some reviewers found certain meads, such as Buzz Squared and Deviant Behavior, to have overpowering flavors that lingered on the palate.

One reviewer, who is an experienced mead maker, noted that the meadery's decision to switch from crown caps to standard wine corks due to the pandemic may have caused some carbonation issues, suggesting that the meads may be bottled before they have finished fermenting.

Despite these minor drawbacks, Nani Moon Meadery is praised for its focus on dry meads, which can be difficult to find elsewhere. The seasonal offering of "candied orange cranberry cyser" is particularly well-received, pairing beautifully with a macadamia nut-crusted mahi mahi dish.

Overall, Nani Moon Meadery offers a unique and immersive mead experience, with a wide variety of flavors to explore, in a setting that captures the essence of Kauai. While the prices may be on the higher side, the quality of the meads and the opportunity to discover new and interesting flavor profiles make it a worthwhile destination for mead enthusiasts.
