Best known for: Small batch meads with wild yeast
Enlightenment Wines Meadery is based in Brooklyn, New York, where they have been making small batch meads since 2009.
They are known for their dry, honey-based wines that use wild yeast, foraged herbs, and locally sourced fruits to create unique flavors.
Their meads are typically around 12% alcohol, barrel fermented, and released seasonally. They produce their meads in both the Hudson Valley and Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood.
Visitors can enjoy a tasting experience at Honey's, their cocktail bar, where they can sample their artisanal meads.
