Purple Possum Winery

5486 Rabun Road
Navasota, TX 77868
Telephone: (936) 825-2830
Website: www.purplepossumwinery.com

The Purple Possum Winery is considered by many to be Texas’s oddest winery. This small establishment creates meads of many different varieties. Mead is a type of wine which is made from honey. To be considered a mead, the alcohol in a beverage must come primarily from fermented honey. Meads can be dry, sweet, beer-like, or a great range in between. The Purple Possum offers tastings, and sells mead out of their tasting room, which is open on the weekends from 10am - 6pm, or by appointment.
