Located in the beautiful countryside of Langley township ( horse country) near the USA boarder. The meadery is owned by Teresa Townsley and Bill Townsley. The words "Festina Lente" mean literally "Make Haste  Slowly". This accurately reflects our philosophy of taking the time to  accomplish things with diligence the first time and the pride that we take in  simple things done well.  
              They produce Mead, Melomel, Metheglin and other honey based wines. Honey produces are also available. 
              meadmaker: Bill Townsley
                Philosophy: we make sophisticated premium honey wines, stewarding nature to produce the best products from bee to bottle.
              As beekeepers and winemakers, it was a natural fit  to explore the lost tradition of Mead or Honey Wines. Of course, over the  years, tastes change and we have developed a drier and more sophisticated honey  wine that can be appreciated for  many years. Honey wine is the white wine that ages like a red, so white wine  drinkers can now command room in the most refined cellars and enjoy the  depth and breadth of ever changing flavours over time. 
              Teresa and Bill have their sights on a new, much more ambitious goal: running the entire farm on solar power and even putting power back into the grid. The project will include installing charging stations.  
              The Townsleys’ plans also include new business lines (such as beer and spirits), expansions to their facilities and farming operations, and international sales. 
              Their  Meads have received the prestigious QCW (Quality Certified Wine) certification.
