Where does Mike & Niki's honey come from?

Every jar comes from our own apiaries across Silicon Valley – Campbell, San Jose, Santa Clara, Los Gatos, Sunnyvale, Half Moon Bay, Carneros, and more. Mike is our head beekeeper. We harvest, bottle, and label everything ourselves at our Campbell facility – the last farm in Campbell.

Does local honey actually help with allergies?

Raw local honey contains trace amounts of the same pollen your immune system reacts to. Many of our customers use a daily spoonful from their own zip code starting weeks before allergy season as part of their routine. We don't make medical claims, but 13 years of repeat customers tells us something.

What's the difference between varietal and wildflower honey?

Wildflower honey reflects whatever the bees foraged in a given season – a snapshot of that place and time. Varietal honey comes from apiaries placed near a dominant bloom: orange blossom, eucalyptus, sage. Different flavors, different bodies, different colors – same real honey.

Is your honey raw and unfiltered?

Yes. We don't pasteurize, we don't ultra-filter, and we don't blend with anything we didn't harvest. Just strained to remove wax and bee parts. That's why it crystallizes – real honey does.

Yes. Free shipping on orders over $50, $5.99 under. We ship across the US from Campbell, California.

Carneros Honey – Wine Country Raw Honey from Carneros, CA | Mike & Niki's

Raw honey from Carneros, California – the legendary wine-growing region that straddles Napa and Sonoma counties. Our bees forage in Carneros alongside some of the most famous vineyards in the world.

What Makes Carneros Honey Special

Carneros means "rams" in Spanish, and this windswept region between San Pablo Bay and the Sonoma Mountains grows Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that sell for $50 a bottle. Our bees work the same terroir – vineyard cover crops, mustard blooms, oak woodlands, and coastal sage. The honey is aromatic and complex.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the Carneros region?

Carneros (Los Carneros AVA) spans the southern tips of both Napa and Sonoma counties, bordering San Pablo Bay. It's one of the coolest wine-growing regions in California, with morning fog and afternoon breezes.

Does Carneros honey taste like wine?

Not exactly, but they share a terroir. The same soil, climate, and vegetation that make great wine grapes also make great honey. Carneros honey tends to have herbal, slightly savory notes – pairs beautifully with cheese and charcuterie.

Discover Carneros

The Carneros wine region is home to Domaine Carneros, Artesa Vineyards, Bouchaine, and dozens more world-class wineries. The Sonoma side connects to the town of Sonoma with its historic plaza and farm-to-table restaurants. The Napa side is minutes from downtown Napa's Oxbow Public Market. Our Carneros honey makes a perfect wine country gift – pair it with local cheese for something truly special.

Great honey!

This is the best local honey our whole family enjoys having everyday!!

fragrance too strong

It's pretty easy to apply to the skin (doens't take too much effort to rub it on), but I don't like the smell of the product at all. I would tolerate it if it were a natural smell of the beewax, but no, this is a perfumy kind of odor. And it's strong and lingering. I don't recommend it.

Anne, we get that this did not work for you. and we will take that on the chin. with our next batch we will weigh your opinion in our process
I privately sent you a solution
We hope you will try other things and still be a fan. NIKI

Honey is Amazing!

Honey is so fresh and tasty and everyone there is so friendly. I highly recommend!

We appreciate the shout out. Knowing that your honey is just down the street in a historic farm and not from far off lands is key to what we do. Its our town and we want to start saving bees here. Thanks for your support and kind review
