The Birth of Mama’s Honey Wine

Every great story has a hero, and for Negus Winery, that hero is my mother. A master of Ethiopian brewing traditions, she has spent decades perfecting the craft of Tej, passing down knowledge that has been preserved for generations. Under her guidance, I refined my process, ensuring that every bottle of Mama’s Honey Wine reflects both authenticity and innovation.

Our honey wine is handcrafted using locally sourced, high-quality honey, combined with carefully selected ingredients to create a perfectly balanced, smooth, and aromatic experience. The result? A drink that not only honors Ethiopian heritage but also redefines what honey wine can be in today’s craft beverage industry. From humble beginnings, Mama’s Honey Wine has now expanded to over 50 locations, reaching a growing audience of wine lovers, cultural enthusiasts, and adventurous drinkers eager to experience something unique.
