Discover more about Queen's Reward Meadery

Queen's Reward Meadery, located in Tupelo, Mississippi, holds the distinction of being the first meadery in the state. Founded by Jeri and Geoff Carter, the meadery produces small-batch meads using 100% Mississippi honey. Mead, often called honey wine, is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey with water and yeast, and it boasts a history stretching back thousands of years. Queen's Reward offers a range of meads, from traditional dry and sweet varieties to fruit-infused options like cranberry, pinot noir, and lemonade. The meadery uses locally-sourced honey from beekeepers who share their commitment to quality. Visitors can sample the meads in the tasting room, purchase bottles to take home, and even enjoy mead slushies. The Carters' journey to opening Queen's Reward began as a homebrewing hobby. After discovering the lack of commercially available mead in Mississippi, they saw an opportunity to bring this ancient beverage to a new audience. The meadery has become a popular destination in Tupelo, offering a unique experience and a taste of Southern craftsmanship.
