Bee Incredible Workshop

This hands-on workshop offers couples and friend groups a genuinely unique way to celebrate the weekend—right here at Painted Horse Winery & Vineyards, Milton's founding farm winery and Georgia's first woman-founded farm winery.

You'll don a professional bee suit (provided) for an up-close journey into our working hives. You'll see the queen, watch workers communicate through dance, learn how they build a perfect hexagonal comb, and taste honey straight from the frame—honey from the very Linden trees that give our signature product its floral notes.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

• Professional bee suit and safety equipment (all sizes available)

• Expert-led hive tour with Ed Morgan

• Hands-on learning about colony structure and spring buildup

• Behind-the-scenes access to our working apiaries

MAKE IT A DAY

After your workshop, the vineyard doesn't close. Visit our tasting room to:

• Purchase our Queen Bee Honey—the very honey you just watched being made (available in chili pepper, lemon, and cinnamon vanilla varieties too)

• Enjoy wine by the glass or bottle

• What to Wear: Closed-toe shoes; bee suit and all safety equipment provided

• Recommended For: Couples, friend groups, and anyone curious about bees!

No prior experience needed. Most guests have never been this close to bees before—and that's exactly what makes it special.

ABOUT YOUR GUIDE

Ed Morgan is our resident beekeeper and the reason our apiary has flourished. When he joined our farm family over a year ago, we had just six hives. Under his skilled care, we now maintain 14 thriving hives producing 400-500 pounds of our signature Linden honey each year.

Ed's gift isn't just managing bees—it's making complex beekeeping accessible and fascinating. His enthusiasm is contagious, his teaching style patient, and he's guided hundreds of nervous first-timers through this experience. Whether you're bee-curious or bee-nervous, Ed meets you exactly where you are.
