Reviews of 1634 Meadery (Winery)

Will Wagner

Nice, small craft meadery. Pretty much a one man show, but he's got some tasty meads. The tour was informative, but not much, since the whole place is a 2 room operation.

There's a lot of bad mead out there, and I've tasted a lot of it. This is not that. The mead itself is delicious. They have something for every taste, from actually dry (dry enough for my sceptical, wine loving mother) to very sweet. None of it is cloyingly sweet though. The tasting room is small, but well decorated and cozy. The people were also friendly, welcoming, and informative, but never condescending. Overall, a tasting here is well worth the time. And, the mead is worth buying here or at your local wine store.

Small, but very interesting place. Never tried Mead before, but I got a great introduction to it, Emma took me through the different varieties, then gave me a tour of the fermentation area. I got to meet Dan the owner, got to use the corking device and even got to put wax on a bottle to seal it! Overall very nice time was had, and I brought home three varieties to enjoy.

Quick informative tour. The mead is delicious. Very medieval. The guy that gave the tour was a lot of fun. Dan was funny and informative.

Joseph Gaunt

Emma and Dan were very informative and kind! Loved the strawberry fields:)

Meads made Right Here. Local honeys & fruits. Try the Orange Blossom Honey - as sweet & delicious as it sounds.

Charlene Hill

Very small place but well worth the stop. Very informative, learned what is the difference between mead and wine. You won’t be disappointed.

The owners are fantastic and love to talk to people. The mead is absolutely fantastic. I've ventured into brewing my own mead and during the process I've bought and tried almost every single mead sold in Massachusetts. 1634 Meadery is hands down one of the best around. Their prices as well are fantastic. Around $20 for a 500ml bottle. I constantly see smaller bottles selling for $25+.

Dont second guess going to here, you will not regret it.

Hands down the best mead that I have ever had! If that is not enough for you to try the incredible hand-crafted mead, then try it because Dan and Deb truly believe and take pride in their craft. I promise you will not be disappointed. They have some flavors that are always around, but the every changing seasonal flavors are not to be missed. My favorite... Strawberry Fields!

Alex was receptive, informative, and had some great pairing suggestions. I've had this mead before through friends and was happy to come down to grab some myself!

Deb Clapp

The best mead ever! Cute tasting room, good pricing, and instructive tour. These guys are passionate about their craft.

Nicole Moy

Excellent assortment of meads and the tour was very insightful. I went to the meadery with three others and we got to try about 6-7 different types of mead. We used a Groupon which included the tasting, glasses and a tour. Will be returning for more mead in the future. We even bought a couple of bottles to bring home!

The 1634 Meadery had an excellent variety of meads and most of them are made with locally sourced ingredients. They have both traditional and fruit meads and all of the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They even let us seal a bottle with wax when they were showing us the process.

Visited this place back in fall 2018. Really enjoyed our time here! The place is small but very cute and cosy. Stuff was very friendly and knowledgeable! Was very interesting to learn about the whole process of making this wine. They had a nice variety of different flavors. After tasting we left with 3 bottles. And will be definitely back to pick up some more.

Delicious mead! Very small meadery but one of the few in New England. They have all kinds of varieties such as berry, apple, or cinnimon meads or the go to original meads. Owner is very friendly.

James King

Fantastic tasting room, knowledgeable and friendly staff and most importantly, delicious tasting mead. If you've never tried mead before, check 1634 Meadery out. Reasonably priced as well.

Michael Leake

Extensive variety of meads featuring local ingredients. Very informative tasting available. Ask Dan for a tour, just like the one seen on This Old House.

Great mead, small tasting room made from old barn wood and part, great for grabbing a small glass of mead and trying stuff out.
