The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1933 by the Bargetto family in Soquel, California, this historic winery has pioneered premium winemaking in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Chaucer's was introduced in 1964 as a line of fruit and honey wines named in honor of Geoffrey Chaucer, author of The Canterbury Tales.

How it is made

Chaucer's Mead is produced by Bargetto Winery, utilizing 100% pure honey sourced from California apiaries. The wine is fermented without the addition of any artificial colorings, concentrates, or flavorings to preserve its classic medieval style.
