About Twisted Horn Mead & Cider
Twisted Horn Mead & Cider is located in Vista, California. Mead and cider’s histories date back thousands of years to when something that wasn’t quite beer and wasn’t quite wine emerged on the market. Unique and fantastical drinks indeed they were that offered flavors that beer and traditional wines could not. As time passed, fruits, spices and other adjunct flavors were also added to further enhance the already unique flavor profiles. Capitalizing on creativity and only using the best quality of those very ingredients, is what gave rise to this truly unique and extraordinary location. At Twisted Horn, mead and cider offerings are “Old World Style With a Twist”.
