Starrlight Mead specializes in honey wine, also known as mead. The mead is made right on the property, from local North Carolina honey.
Starrlight Mead is at 130 Lorax Lane in Pittsboro, behind Chatham Marketplace, under the water tower.
Starrlight Mead also hosts frequent events, which you find on their Facebook page.
