Dawg Gone Bees LLC began in 2009 when Jacki took honey to the local farmer's market. Hal developed a line of meads in 2015, building on beekeeping roots that trace back to George Wesley in the 1870s. The hives are located in East Berlin, north and south Hanover, Littletown, Spring Grove, and Abbottstown. The honey is unfiltered and unpasteurized. The bees are not treated with antibiotics or added sugars. Mead purchases are for in-store pick-up only. Dogs are welcome.
No — Dawg Gone Bees LLC does not operate a public tasting room. It's a production-only or by-allocation label, so its wines are found through retail, restaurants, or a mailing list rather than an on-site visit.
Signature bottles include Mead. When booking a tasting, ask which current release best represents the estate's style.
Yes, Dawg Gone Bees LLC welcomes dogs. Policies usually cover outdoor areas only and expect dogs on a leash. Call ahead if you're bringing more than one, or if the weather is pushing everyone indoors.
