Individual Aficionado Membership

An Aficionado membership is perfect for home meadmakers, engaged mead drinkers, and those generally curious to learn more about mead quality standards and the meadmaking process from leading industry experts. This tier gives you access to unique, exciting and informative mead tastings and events, based on what you want to learn, not what local shops want to sell. Mead Institute Aficionado Members receive access to our exclusive Mead Institute Tasting Grid and Language Chart, as well as our growing library of online educational materials.

This tier is not available to Meadery owners. Individuals associated with a meadery should purchase a Meadery or Meadery in Planning membership.
