Slate Point Meadery Poughkeepsie Reviews
A must-try in downtown Poughkeepsie, tucked in the middle of a bunch of restaurants and breweries. Tastings made for a fun afternoon before heading to dinner plans nearby. Each mead is very unique and they ranged from herbal, to fresh, to fruity, to coffee-inspired, to aged in rye or gin barrels. Most are gluten-free, too—hard to pick a favorite! The owners are really helpful and nice, as well. Looking forward to going back!
Fantastic service! We are from out of state and they were so hospitable. We tried multiple flights of meads. They ranged from dry (green lit) to more sweet. Nothing was too sweet. A great place to sip mead and chill. Music on the the radio was great too!
Nice place. Lots of variety.

The new tasting room in incredible. Today was the first day open, on National Mead Day! We had two flights of all 8 variations. All light and very flavorful. I had no idea Meadery could have so many flavor profiles and still be light and refreshing. We enjoyed all 8, and walked away with three bottles to have at home. Cannot wait to get back there!
I had an amazing experience at Slate point Meadery. I’ve never tried Mead and I was curious to learn more about it. After discussing with Eric the owner about the history of the process I was able to truly appreciate the great taste of what he and Slate Point Meadery to offer. I will be returning very soon and quite often I highly recommend checking out this new local hotspot!
Great experience. Stopped in a couple minutes before they were supposed to close unfortunately but still managed to have a great experience! The gentleman let us try a few to find the perfect mead blend for us! I’ve tried multiple meads and they typically are too sweet for me but this was not super sweet but more like kombucha.
What an amazing place. My wife and I when there because we didn’t know much about mead. The owner Erick was so personable. We ordered flights. Everything was great. We even got bottles to go definitely going back. Highly recommend!!!!!!
Wide selection of meads and Eric is a very knowledgeable owner and mead maker. Glad to see another type of craft beverage breaking ground in New York State. Highly recommend stopping in and trying a flight
A random stop that was a great find. We were able to taste the range of different pours. These guys are doing a fantastic job, with meads ranging from easy sippers to complex flavors. Looking forward to coming back here.
Fun! Safe area in Poughkeepsie. I recommend the flights... all of them! It was a good way to try the many flavors of mead.
Great tasting mead, even better selection. Just make sure to get here on Sat during tasty hours
As first time mead drinkers, we were impressed with the drinks, the atmosphere and the service. Took some to go, don't sleep on this place!
Tasty mead and a lovely spot. Wish the owners tons of success!
tried 4 meads, all were amazing
i just got my first bottle as a Christmas present. looking forward to trying it.
Beeeeeautiful! Totally lives up to the buzz 🐝
Great taste and lovely place
Back when Slate Point first opened in 2020, I would order online & pick up my purchase at their tasting room on Main Street. I tried all of their available varieties (at the time) that way. Recently, I stumbled upon their new mead expressions at places in Grand Central Terminal (Taste NY, Frankie's hot dogs, & Central Market sandwich shop), such as a tart dry sparkling mead tinged w/ green tea, & a smooth, light, off-dry bourbon barrel finished Mazer. I am once again impressed!
What a treasure! Comfortable decor, friendly mead master. Great way to spend some time on a Saturday. Went home with several bottles and a t- shirt. Can't wait to bring more friends so they can experience a lighter, more refreshing drink. Good luck in your new city location! See you soon!🙂
