I had been meaning to try out Crave Mead for some time and was glad that we finally had the chance. They have so many different flavors to choose from, and the tasting host is extremely knowledgeable on the process and history of Mead. Overall a great experience, and they are bound to have something that everyone will like! read more

Stopped in for a Mead tasting. The hostess was very friendly and extremely informative on how their mead process works. Got to sample 5 of them. I went with the Blueberry, Strawberry, Apple Cobbler, Mango and Creme Brûlée. They were all pretty good and very unique! We ended up taking home a bottle of the Creme Brûlée. read more

We found Crave Mead via a local groupon. We enjoy wine, and the hubs is a bee keeper, so we wanted to learn more about mead and how it is made. The tour of the meadery took place in a small room full of equipment... picture barrels, taps, boxes of glasses. There is no seating, this is not a bar. We were greeted promptly while another party was finishing their tasting. While we waited, 4 more people showed to take the tour. The "tour" is really just a tasting. We sampled 7-8 different types of mead, learned where the honey is collected, and gained a basic understanding of mead it is made. The tour took approx 30 minutes, and we left with 3 bottles of mead (Barrel Aged, Creme Brulee, Black Currant), $17 each, 2 glasses, and a jar of honey. It was a unique and interesting experience. Be sure to check this place out! Alternatively, their product is sold locally at many wine & liquor stores (Total Wine, Austins). read more

Extremely satisfied with this meadery! I talked with Rachel through Facebook and text message about the locations at which they sell their mead. She was extremely accommodating and made a special delivery to the liquor store closest to me, so that I could get the flavors I wanted. As a first time mead drinker, I asked for her expertise in selecting flavors and she recommended the blackcurrant mead. I got a bottle of blackcurrant and a bottle of dry mead for my partner for his birthday. The bottles were extremely well-priced. So far we've only tried the blackcurrant, and it is delicious! It has a strong honey flavor and was perfectly described by Rachel as "juicy", but not too sweet! Excited to pop open the other bottle soon, and hopefully come by for a taste of their other flavors in person soon! read more

A friend and I have an annual tradition where we do brewery tours when he comes to visit. We've done the basics - Harpoon and Sam Adams. We like to stay local so I was scrambling to figure out what we could try on his recent visit. Enter Groupon. And a listing for Crave Mead. Wine made from honey?! WHAT?! Sold! We had another tasting that to do in Boston later in the day, so we had to plan accordingly. In our experience for brewery tours, there's always a crowd, so we wanted to make sure we showed up early so that we would still be able to make it in town. Our group showed up for the first tour of the day at 12pm. We were the only car in the parking lot. Fine by me because we were able to get a more personalized experience! Ken, the owner, is a delight. Our tasting felt like an informal get together between friends and our group learned a lot about mead, and other random tidbits, like how to get into beekeeping. I highly recommend stopping by if you're ever in the area. Even if you're not in the area, it's worth making the trip. Mead is some pretty amazing stuff. Each person in our party walked away with at least one bottle. And if you get the Groupon, a jar of honey is included with a wine glass per taster. HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG?? read more

We popped in here to use a groupon. I think it was 12$ for a tasting and we got to keep the glasses and a jar of honey. The honey by the way is delicious. ! I just finished the rest of it and need more. The woman who helped us was super sweet and explained the process of making the mead. We got to try every kind they had available at the time. ; as well as one they had heated for a winter warmer. I really enjoyed the samples and took home a cranberry and an apple one. They were 16$ but a large bottle about the size of wine. It's well worth it. Go check it out ! read more

Love this place. The tasting was super informative and we tried 7 different selections. I learned a lot and all of their meads are so good. With a groupon we got two tastings, two glasses and a jar of honey for $13- can't beat that! We'll definitely be purchasing more mead from Crave. Love this little gem! read more

I purchased a Groupon for a tasting here. My husband and I have been exploring mead more and more, while we love visiting breweries, theres nothing quite like a good mead. I forgot the name of the gentleman who did out tasting ( i think he is the owner?) but it was fun hearing the stories on each flavor and the process. We ended up buying a bottle of the cranberry orange and I think that will be really nice to enjoy at Christmas time. All of the meads we tried were really good. They had a dry one, a pomegranate sour cherry, gingerbread, candy cane, creme brule, and the cranberry orange. We also tried a mulled mead which was awesome! I would definitely come here with a group of friends to do another tasting. read more

Tucked away in an unassuming building on Main St in Blackstone, you could easily drive by and not realize it was there. What Crave Mead lacks in size, they make up for in quality and frankly, coolness. The tour is informative, and definitely entertaining, as they walk you through the process of making their various meads and share some funny stories as well. The best part is getting to try a bunch of the meads and you'll definitely find one you'll want to bring home. If you use the groupon they are running to do the tour, you'll also get a free jar of their locally harvested honey. If you've ever enjoyed a wine or beer tasting, this will be a fun and different type of tour to try. read more

Went here on a Groupon. Got 2 wineglass, a jar of honey, & the actual mead tasting for 2. It is a VERY tiny meadery. I mean, blink-as-you-drive-down-the-street-&-you'll-miss-it small. You're better off looking for the attached pet shop next door as your landmark. The tour guide is one of the owners. You can tell he takes pride in his work. He told interesting back stories about how each mead came to be & was very candid about the ones he didn't like. We tasted 5 meads: dry, apple pie, pomegranate & sour cherry, gingerbread, & candy cane. Personally, I liked them all. But I LOVED the gingerbread...YUM! I bought that & the dry one to take home. The tour was extremely short. Their were 6 people & the whole thing was over in about 10 minutes. I thought we were going to be able to actually tour the meadery. But, all we were able to do was stand in the front room while he explained the meads & we tasted. I was a little disappointed by that: I drove 30 minutes to leave in 10. Oh well...at least I got to try some amazing mead & spend s little quality time w/my nephew! read more

Really pleasant visit. Rachel was our host and she did a great job of intimating the business and its wares. Tasting was good and enjoyed about seven varieties of their product. The whiskey barrel aged mead was very good. All were nice. Bought about 6 bottles to go. Will look for then if they ever start shipping to New Mexico. Yummy. read more

Wonderful mead and incredibly friendly staff! We absolutely loved the visit and will be back!

I'm so happy to see more local meaderies! This one is one of the best! Not only was the tasting wonderful, but the knowledge of the staff and hearing their stories make you feel at home. The apple cobbler was wonderful and the candy cane was perfect for winter! Even their honey is great! If you've never had mead, you don't know what you're missing! Come check them out and do a tasting! You won't regret it! read more

Crave Mead - Meaderies Near Me - Blackstone, Massachusetts

Such a great place. One of the owners was very nice and shared a lot about the process of making mead and where they get their honey from. It is a tiny little place, but they make the most of their space. Our favorite was the apple cobbler, it was smooth, refreshing, and sweet. We would definitely come here again. read more

My wife and I visited Crave Mead this past weekend and have to say that it was totally worth the drive. Although an hour away from Boston, the mead that Ken makes is probably the best stuff on the market. Not to sweet yet not to savory, his stuff is as complex as a fine whiskey and makes a fine addition to anyones collection. On top of that since we got there near closing, Ken gave us personalized tasting of his products. We will definitely be back to taste his fall products and I can't wait to see Crave Mead on a store shelf near me. read more

Came here because my friend bought a Groupon. We were not disappointed! This place seems a little hole-in-the-wall at first but they're a fairly new business (I think less than 3 years) and during the tasting the host (one of the business owners) explained the back story of how the business got started, etc. The Groupon was a really good deal - besides the tasting you leave with wineglasses and a jar of honey. The host (I feel bad because I don't remember his name) was great and obviously knowledgeable about the product. We tasted 5 varieties of mead: dry, creme brulee, lemon thyme, pomegranate sour cherry, and blackcurrant. All were delicious. He let us try the candy cane and blueberry meads as a bonus, and that was nice. I will be looking for the product in my local liquor stores! read more

Creme Brûlée, Barrel Aged, Apple Cobbler, Pineapple, Gingerbread, Dry, just to name a few of our favorites but really all of the Meads are delicious!! The tastings are fun too!! We've never been disappointed!! read more

Sean was awesome and gave a great over view of how the mead is made. Very interesting process. We tried the six different kinds and left with three bottles - strawberry, pomegranate/cherry and another that was very unique. Great tasting and opportunity to see someone local break into the market with all local ingredients including the honey itself. Fun time. read more

The American Dream lives here! Had a mead tasting and as an amateur mead maker it was a very interesting visit. Great meads and a hospitable owner! Left with a couple of bottles and great memories. We will be back! Best of luck in your new business. read more

You can drive past this place numerous times as it is located almost on the side of a shop but once you find it, you will be pleased! Had a Groupon for a mead (honey wine) tasting, glasses, and a jar of honey. The owner was very passionate about his process and was excited to share the end product with us. I believe they are going to be expanding soon as he just quit his full time job to dedicate his time to making mead. The tasting was great as most of us have been to taste wine and beer, but this product isn't as easy to find. They mix various flavors with the honey and they are constantly adding new ones. At the time they had some holiday flavors which makes for a great gift. Purchased several bottles which are VERY reasonably priced for the amount you get in a bottle compared to other meads. Worth checking this place out! read more

Five stars for the mead! We got a Groupon for a tasting there. The place is small and basic but the owner is very enthusiastic about his mead and the short presentation was quite informative. My favorite is the "dry mead" which is the original, the lightly spiced gingerbread mead is also yummy. The mead is around 14% but we both walked out feeling a little tipsy. Good times! read more

We lived the Informative and fun tour and tasting led by co-owner. The operation is small but seems to be growing! Based on the 5 excellent types we tried they will find a much larger audience. We loved all 5 types we sampled. They also carried some other favors we didn't try, but which seemed creative and, I imagine, were also good! Tour came with souvenir glasses and a jar of honey to take home. Crave is a hidden gem worth a visit! read more

My favorite drink ever. I love this place and their product. Since trying this mead I will not drink anything else. I have gone to 3 tastings so far too. I keep finding friends I need to take to try it and they all fall in love with it. The tasting is a great experience to taste the different flavors and learn about how the product is made. If you buy the Groupon you get 2 glasses to keep which are awesome and a jar of the delicious honey they use to make the mead. It's good and different then regular old honey. read more

Hubby bought a Groupon for us and our friends. What a great little place! Very informative! Got to try 6 flavors: dry, creme brulee, blueberry, pomegranate sour cherry, black currant, and peach. All very good and distinctive from each other. read more

I bought a Groupon for Crave Mead. My husband and I went with another couple. It was really interesting learning about the Mead making process, however, the picture on Groupon leads you to believe that you'll be in a warm , comfortable bar where you can relax and stay for a few drinks after the presentation. But, unfortunately, you just stand in an area that is similar to a basement. Again, it was an interesting process to learn about and the owner was lovely. read more

We purchased the groupon for 4 with glasses, tasting & honey. Well worth every penny! Small operation but one of the best meads we had so far and the glasses are nice. The mead was delicious and we plan on going back when we finish the bottles we purchased to get more. read more
