Excellent mead, nice tasting room. Small, clean tasting room. Read about the various offerings before we visited. Tried the Clever Fox, and it's a superb mead. The per bottle price is $27 (for 750 ml) which is a little pricey for a mead. But it's good quality and unique. Overall cleanliness: above average Service: nice staff read more

I had my first mead today at Slate Point Meadery. I was a little concerned because I don't like sweet drinks and since these were made with honey I had my concerns. We had a tasting flight we asked the owner to pick for us and sat down and waded in. I don't remember which ones I tried but three out of four of them were delicious. There was one made with berries and aged with vanilla that just wasn't for us. But that's why they make so many flavors. There's something for us all. Alcohol content seemed to range from about 7% to 10.5% but I was told by the owner-brewer that some meads can hit over 20%. I say this so that you realize you can get drunk on mead! The place was cozy with lots of seating a very clean restroom and a very friendly and informative owner willing to talk mead and answer our questions. It is definitely worth a visit read more

One of my top 3 favorite meaderies. We got a flight of mead and bought one bottle. We enjoyed them all and luckily they weren't too sweet. Very knowledgeable and friendly service. It was closer to wine and each one has a herbal element which my partner didn't enjoy as much but I didn't mind so much and enjoyed. We still both deemed the mead this our top 3 favorite. read more

Never tried a mead I liked before popping in here for a tasting. Erik, the owner was so knowledgeable and friendly- we chatted with him for over an hour and learned so much! The space is really open, beautiful - an industrial look, but warm cozy and inviting. They have about 12 meads to try - we ended up doing a flight which was 4 meads for $10 - generous pours extremely reasonable price. They plan to offer new limited edition recipes and some of the new styles planned sounded really tasty. Then we each ordered a glass of what we liked best. They have cans and bottles for purchase also. No food right now, and limited hours due to Covid, but over time I'm sure that will change. They do however offer delicious pastries and scones from Kelly's bakery which is top notch! We throughly enjoyed our experience here and will definitely be back!! read more

Knowledgeable and passionate here. I tried'em all! A very fun and exciting flight of many flavors. A must stop if you're in town! They know their meads and will educate you if you want the history, or leave you to enjoy the experience without history if that's what you're looking to do. Space is intimate and clean. There's a few tables outdoors too if you prefer. read more

Beautiful new tasting room right on Main St. Poughkeepsie. Right now is pick up only with options to order on site or ahead of time. Very easy transaction process overall. Can't wait to be able to stop in, sample, and hang out. If you're new to mead, I suggest checking out Slate Point Meadery's website for a much more eloquent description of the history, process, and uniqueness inherent to their product. Simply put, it's an alcoholic beverage made from honey. Their mead is a session style, offering various flavors with a range of dry to sweet. I first tried mead when I was 16 years old (in Bunratty Castle in Ireland ) - it was thick, sweet, and strong coming in at a whopping 15% abv. Unlike my initial sampling years ago, SP Meadery's session mead is often much lower abv, moderately dry, and awesome to drink on a hot day. The "Sweet Spot" Lemonade-style mead is so refreshing, great for a day at the beach or for an epic tailgate, picnic, or baseball game. It even comes in cans. I haven't tried all the flavors yet, but I'll surely be back to grab some more soon. Today's drink of choice was their newly debuted "Rivers and Rosés" - absolutely amazing. read more

Celebrated my daughter's 40th birthday at Slate Point. The owners were extremely welcoming and courteous. I had never had Mead before but after sampling several flights I am a big fan. It's obvious much care goes into their recipes. Perfect choice for a get together read more

I planned a birthday party here and Eric was incredible throughout the whole process. The venue was so nice and very affordable! Eric even brought in options from other local businesses in case the party wanted options other than mead. We did multiple flights and tried all of the mead and it was all delicious! I couldn't say enough great things about Eric and his wife and I would one hundred percent recommend having a private event here or stopping in for a glass.... Or two.... Of mead ! read more
