This place is absolutely phenomenal. This is not your typical dark, loud brewery playing annoying music. Stonewise was bright, airy, and inviting. We tried a few flights with different types of meads and ciders, along with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. All were so delicious. Our favorite was the Jotunn’s Ruin Viking Style bottled mead and the Trixie on draft. Our kid even had a great time in the kids play area while we enjoyed our adult beverages. The server was also very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Such a cool place and we can’t wait to go back!
Chris and Shawna are awesome. There isn't a single drink they offer that isn't excellent. It's a great environment to hang out at, inexpensive, and kid friendly. There literally isn't a better place in Pahrump to hang out at than Stonewise.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Stone Wise, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The craft mead and cider offerings were nothing short of extraordinary. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a charm that perfectly complemented the artisanal beverages.
From the moment I walked in, I could tell that Stone Wise is a place where passion and craftsmanship are at the forefront. The staff were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly, eager to share their expertise and guide me through their impressive selection.
The meads and ciders I sampled were a true testament to the dedication and skill of the makers at Stone Wise. Each sip was a journey of flavors, with a depth and complexity that left me in awe. Whether you prefer a traditional mead, a fruity cider, or something more experimental, their range has something to suit every palate.
What truly stood out was their commitment to using high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. It's evident that Stone Wise cares deeply about sustainability and supporting their community.
In conclusion, Stone Wise is a hidden gem in the world of craft mead and cider. If you're a connoisseur or just looking for a unique and enjoyable experience, I highly recommend paying them a visit. You won't be disappointed; you'll be enchanted. Cheers to Stone Wise for crafting such exceptional libations!
There flights are amazing. We had such an awesome time while we were there. The owners/staff were amazing also as they were very helpful with all of our question about mead and cider.. we will definitely be coming back here every time we are in town! It really is a top notch place..
Had high hopes to finally try their Cider & Mead beverages as they have extremely limited hours. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy any of the products we tasted, although service and atmosphere is excellent
Edit 08/05/2023: Happy Mead Day!
We keep coming back to this place and recommending it to others. The quality of the beverages just never disappoints. There's a little play area for kiddos, and there was a magician named Jack doing walk-around magic while we enjoyed our flights.
If you leave this place without at least one growler to enjoy at a second location, you'll regret it later. Sure, you can get tasty wines at lots of places here in Pahrump, but Stonewise is a singular experience, not only for their excellent beverage offerings, but also for the atmosphere and their obvious and infectious passion for the art of making tasty and innovative meads, ciders, cysers, and wines.
Pro tip: It seems like everything they make that includes coffee is absolutely exquisite. My goodness, it's always heaven. And it sells out quickly. If they have some while you're there, try it while you can! It's likely to be gone soon afterward.
Original review:
What a delight!
We (party of 2) arrived to find the place almost packed with a rowdy bunch, about an hour before closing on Saturday. Inside, it's clean and neat. The bathrooms were clean as well. We took the remaining table and were given a menu by the Lady of the house. The patrons who were already there seemed to really know the owners, and there was lots of chit-chatting while we looked over the current selection. We each ordered flights and were served fairly quickly, despite the crowd. The Mead Goddess (I didn't get her name) arranged our flights to curate the flavor experience for each of us, based on what we each selected. We managed to only have 1 duplicate between us, so we of course took samples from each other! We took a whiff of the first cup and sipped away...
AND IT WAS AMAZING!
This is what mead is supposed to be! We both were quickly swept away by the waves of sweet and dry fruitiness. Everything was delicious, every single flavor! Of course, we did each end up with favorites (the Big Petrowski for me, the cherry one for him), but it was hard to choose. I've long been a mead-freak, but the stuff from the liquor store just does nothing for my enjoyment of the drink. Stonewise meads are, by and far, ALL absolutely worthy of becoming favorites.
Mead Goddess took the time to explain everything to us and let us know about seasonal flavors. It was a really enjoyable experience, and we'll definitely be back. The flights were only $8 each, and nice-size glasses are only $7. We, of course, took home growlers ($20 filled, $12 for refills) of our favorites. We can't wait to see what other flavors come up!
Compared to Vegas drink/bar prices, Stonewise is amazing for value, atmosphere, and experience.
Definitely try this place out! Their hours may seem a little whonky right now, as the couple literally runs the place by themselves while raising their kiddos, but more success for them means more mead opportunities for us! Check them out; you will be so very glad that you did! I know we are!
