Baltic Way Mead – a harmony of solidarity, memory, and the meadow honey of the Baltic States
This traditional trójniak-style mead was created as a tribute to one of the most inspiring historical events in the Baltic region – the Baltic Way, the human chain formed in 1989 from Tallinn through Riga to Vilnius. Baltic Way Mead is made from honey collected from as many as 1,569 apiaries in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, so each bottle brings together the natural diversity of the Baltic lands, a sense of place, and the idea of unity.
On the nose, it reveals a rich and complex floral bouquet, with pronounced notes of linden, willow, and dandelion. On the palate, this mead retains the richness characteristic of its traditional style, while also showing a lively and harmonious character. It is an expressive yet balanced drink, where the fullness of honey is matched by floral freshness and a long, gently unfolding finish.
This mead was produced in Augustów together with Miodosytnia Nöösker, in cooperation with Lithuanian Bee. It is not only a distinctive drink, but also a symbolic collaborative project of the Baltic States, commemorating historical memory through the culture of honey.
It is no coincidence that this mead has received international recognition:
Augustow Meadery (Augustowska Miodosytnia) is an authentic producer of mead and other traditional natural beverages based in Augustów, Poland, in the country’s south-eastern region near the borders with Lithuania and Belarus.
Here, centuries-old mead-making traditions meet a contemporary approach to natural products. In Augustów, honey and other forest resources are transformed into beverages crafted according to authentic recipes that date back to the times of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The idea of producing mead was born out of deep respect for beekeeping, ancient forest beekeeping traditions, and home mead-making practices that were once widespread but gradually forgotten—and are now being carefully revived.
Augustow Meadery aims to restore historical culture, share a part of the region’s heritage, and bring back the flavours once admired and enjoyed by earlier generations. All beverages are made from natural ingredients, hand-gathered from the Augustów Forest and surrounding areas of Poland and Lithuania. Only honey from trusted beekeepers is used—the most precious and noble raw material in alcoholic beverage production.
Each product is created with great care, following long-established principles of craftsmanship. The recipes are rooted in the rich heritage of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, while the production process reflects respect for the raw materials and for the people who harvest them.
