Recent reviews of Signature Honey Tasting Experience

  • 5/5 from Joey Castillo, attended Sep 2026: Carrie DĂ­azzz runs an excellent experience. Fun, informative, and impeccable vibes. And each varietal of honey was delicious. Definitely glad I signed up for this!
  • 5/5 from Kim M Thomas, attended Sep 2026: I surprised my daughter with a visit and tasting at Hive &Hanger. It was a wonderful experience. Carrie an amazing host. The tastings were delicious. Who knew that honey could taste so different. The knowledge we gained from Carrie truly made changed the way we look at bees. They are extremely intelligent little creatures. I HIGHLY recommend this experience. You won’t look at bees in the same way after!
  • 5/5 from Jennifer N Castillo, attended Jul 2026: My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our honey tasting. Carrie is a wonderful instructor and made us feel like whatever we said about the tasting was important. We got to taste some very different honeys and learned a lot. I would highly recommend this experience.
  • 5/5 from Maka, attended Apr 2026: This was a beautiful experience filled with knowledge. I highly highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Sam, attended Apr 2026: Carrie is unbelievably knowledgable and a terrific teacher. Learning about bees, as well as tasting notes, made the honey tasting that much more profound. Will absolutely be recommending the experience to other folks!
  • 5/5 from Ally Weinhold, attended Apr 2026: We booked a private honey tasting with Carrie as a surprise for a friend, and it was such a wonderful experience! Carrie is warm, friendly, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable. The bee museum itself was adorable, thoughtfully set up, and so interesting — we learned so much about bees, honey making, and urban beekeeping before even getting into the tasting. The honey tasting itself was fascinating and much more interactive than I expected! I never thought I’d be able to distinguish between different honeys, but Carrie taught us how to identify clues about what the bees used to make each one based on flavor, aroma, and other characteristics. It was unique, memorable, and genuinely delightful. I’d highly recommend this experience for anyone looking for something thoughtful, fun, and a little different!
  • 5/5 from Bridget, attended Apr 2026: I loved the intimate setting, the gorgeous table setting and the lovely host. Everyone was friendly and it was such a fun experience to learn about something I consume daily. It also gave me an appreciation for bees!
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Perez, attended Apr 2026: Friendly occasion with friends and kids. We learned how to "taste" honey and the key details to locations, ethical farming, areas of the tongue that actually taste. The host was great and knowledgable. The atmosphere was open and inviting! I liked the tasting and the knowledge combined! Great for kids and all ages! Thank you!!
  • 5/5 from Dagney Hollmann, attended Mar 2026: Fun and informative class. Questions were welcomed and we learned so much about bees as well as how to properly assess and taste honey. We will be looking forward to additional classes!
  • 5/5 from Ambreen Saddiqui, attended Feb 2026: My husband and I attended the honey tasting experience for a date night and we loved it! Very informative and tasty! We learned a lot about different honeys and how to identify different tastes, aromas, and colors. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Anna Zandueta, attended Feb 2026: If I could give more stars I would!! I booked the honey tasting for Valentine's Day as a cool new experience to try with my partner and it exceeded expectations. Carrie started the class by educating us on how bee's make honey from start to finish, including how it is harvested. She has such vast knowldge on all things bees. It was so fun to engage with her and ask all kinds of questions. It truly felt like we were being educated and engaged instead of just absorbing facts. She also broke down how to engage all of our senses in the tasting experience so that we were completely immersed. She even had diagrams to help us distinguish the different flavors and aromas that we were experiencing. I truly can't put into words how valuable the experience felt with the amount of thoughtfulness and education Carrie put into it. So much so that here I am almost two months later finally posting the review she deserves. I can't wait to share this experience with my friends!
  • 5/5 from J. Prenslo, attended Feb 2026: Very unique and engaging experience! Delicious honey!
