Join The Giddy Bee for Beyond the Carolinas: A Curated Honey Tasting Experience, a 30-minute guided tasting created exclusively for Honey & Harvest Festival guests at Laurel Haven Estate.

During this express tasting, guests will sample four distinctive honeys from across North America, each selected to showcase the remarkable diversity of honey beyond the Carolinas. You’ll learn how to taste honey like a honey sommelier by noticing aroma, color, texture, flavor, floral source, and finish — while gaining a deeper appreciation for how region, season, and nectar source shape every jar.

This intimate experience is designed for curious beginners and honey lovers alike, offering a refined introduction to varietal honey and the beautiful differences that make each harvest unique.
