Blacksnake Meadery

Blacksnake Meadery is Carroll County’s first winery and Southwest Virginia’s only meadery.  They are a family-owned-and-operated business in the beautiful southern Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, and now part of the Cheers Trail.  

Our desire to live more closely with nature and our love of all things fermented have resulted in the establishment of our meadery.  Blacksnake Meadery’s closeness with nature began with negotiations with the original reptilian inhabitants (and namesakes) of the meadery.  It has since expanded to the introduction of an ever-growing population of honeybees and a satellite tasting room in Roanoke called The Hive.
