Enlightenment Wines Meadery

USNY01

New York City's first meadery set in the artist community of Bushwick, Brooklyn. Meads are created from spontaneous fermentation and aged for up to a year.

We focus on small batch meads made with wild yeast, foraged herbs, and locally sourced fruit since 2009.
Our honey based wines are dry (not sweet), around 12% alcohol, barrel fermented and released seasonally.
We have two production locations, one on a family farmstead in the Hudson Valley and the other in
Bushwick Brooklyn. You can find our mead at the finest shops, bars, and restaurants in New York and California.
