Sap House Meadery - Center Ossipee

What a fantastic place! The mead here is exceptional, featuring complex flavors and a range of sweetness that really impressed me, especially since I tend to favor drier wines. It’s definitely worth trying a few flights along with some food to fully enjoy the experience. The staff is also incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Plus, they’re dog-friendly!

The restaurant offers an intriguing variety of mead-based beverages and has a lively atmosphere. However, one of the staff members initially overcharged us for our flight samples and drinks. Fortunately, another employee quickly addressed the issue after my friend pointed out the errors.

We had an amazing tasting with warm and exceptional service! The mead itself was excellent, varied, and creative. We also did a honey tasting which was very interesting and informative. The food was tasty and paired well with the mead. The space itself was lovely and inviting; we felt very comfortable and welcomed. All in all, a truly outstanding experience.

We were recently on vacation staying in the neighboring town of Freedom, and the house had a brochure for Sap House Meadery. I was intrigued, since I’ve never had mead, and I love most things alcoholic. We signed up for one of the Saturday tours, but unfortunately the person running the tour was unable to make it that day. The host/server/jack of all trades behind the counter was very apologetic and gave us a crash course on mead making, and gave us a few samples. Wow, such unique and interesting flavor combinations! We sat at one of the little tables, and I had two flights while my husband had some local beer. I could have bought one of everything I tried, but I managed to limit it to five bottles . We shared the Ploughman’s Lunch and an order of pickled carrots which were really interesting and flavorful. And dessert—a Honeycomb Ice Cream Sundae topped with fresh berries—was unbelievable! Definitely try some of the more funky combinations of mead—I bought the Thai Basil, Lemongrass and Kefir Lime one. Oh, and the Fig, Vanilla and Cardamom (a Swedish spice) was another one I purchased. Sooo delicious! If you’re in the Ossipee area, stop by this little gem. FYI, they’re only open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Amazing selection of mead and knowledgeable staff! Delicious flights (we ended up having 3 and doing a couple tastings) and the tacos were a great snack. Shout out to the guy who makes the pickled carrots, my partner loved them so much. We'll definitely be back whenever we're in town.
