Long Island Meadery

A beverage from a time when things were simpler

About Me


I'm really a mead making winery located dead center on Long Island, NY. Amazing how many people don't know what mead is, especially considering it's only been around for over 8000 years, but I digress. It is a tad difficult to go into who I am, per se, as that would indicate I was some sort of sentient being and aware of my own existence and mortality and all those wonderful things that come along with consciousness. Alas, I am charged with a higher purpose, that of the creation of highly delectable and thoroughly intoxicating beverages for you, the truly sentient beings, to imbibe upon.
We produce all kinds of yumminess to suit all tastes, from semi-dries to a wide array of sweets. We begin with the traditional, which simply is just the fermentation of honey. From there, we add your favorite fruits to suit each taste and/or mood. Hell, we even have root beer mead, which is just like root beer only this one's at 11%abv! Careful there spanky, this one can get you schnocked!
Our tasting room and retail store resides in front of the winery itself and we are open to tours. We get a lot of traffic who stop by for just a taste or ten of what's current and/or for a look around to see the operation itself. Hours are on the website and generally are on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, other days by appointment. Come on down, come on out, check us out. To join the page, just be real and send a request to be added, our philosophy is that everyone's welcome!
We are real easy to find. We are based in the center of LI, right next to Macarthur Airport, on Lincoln Av just off of Vets Hwy (RT 454).
