Meadery in Brooklyn, New York

4.5★ 11 Google reviews 15th most reviewed of 16 in New York

Enlightenment Wines Meadery has been focusing on small batch meads made with wild yeast, foraged herbs, and locally sourced fruit since 2009. These honey based wines are dry (not sweet), around 12% alcohol, barrel fermented and released seasonally. Try our meads next door at Honey’s or order online! We have two production locations, one on a family farmstead in the Hudson Valley and the other in Bushwick Brooklyn. Try our mead for yourself at our tasting room and cocktail bar “Honeys” next door.

What Is a Meadery?

A meadery is a place that makes mead, which is wine made from honey. Here is what that means in practice, and what you will find if you walk into one.

Is Mead Wine or Beer?

Mead is wine. It ferments from honey rather than grain, and federal law regulates it under the wine rules, even when it is poured in a taproom that feels like a brewery.
