Zymarium Meadery from Orlando, Florida, is the city’s first meadery, opened in August 2023 in the artistic Mills 50 district. It was founded by Joe Leigh and Ginger Leigh, a visual artist known as Synthestruct, who designed the brand identity and the interactive ambiance of the tasting room.

Their philosophy is based on using exclusively local, raw, and unfiltered honey, preserving natural enzymes, pollen, and the authentic aromatic profile. Production combines traditional and modern fermentation techniques, with a distinctive focus on creating so-called “water-less fruit meads” where only fruit and honey are used instead of water, resulting in exceptionally intense and complex flavors.

The lineup includes over twenty different meads on tap, ranging from dry and refreshing to sweet and rich, with part of the selection dedicated to experimental series. Their approach unites art, craftsmanship, and the science of fermentation, making Zymarium a new cultural and flavorful landmark in Orlando.
