I have enjoyed mead sporadically over the years but I had no idea there was so much more to mead than the syrupy, "Middle Ages" brew so common in my social circles. As one who knows how to enjoy an occasional glass of traditional wine as well as my preferred tastes in wine, I thoroughly enjoyed this mead experience. I would heartily recommend the Tasting ~ the information that accompanies the delicious brews is worth the price alone. Plus you get to keep the glass - awesome! If you are looking for something cold to drink, might I suggest the Delta Gold or Delta Dry. I do not usually like dry wines but this dry mead is absolutely delectable. For the coldest of cold, I have been told that the Mead Slush is just the thing to settle you on a hot Mississippi Day. Sadly, we were there on a wet, October day so I will just have to go back and try the Slush when I come home in the summer. If you are not adverse to a warm (room temperature) beverage, then I urge you to enjoy the Blackberry. Cold and sweet striking your fancy? Then Pucker Up might be just the drink for you. You can also enjoy sodas and coffee so this would be the perfect place to gather with your friends and chill. The building which houses Queen's Reward is rather pedestrian from the outside until you walk up to the building - the entrance doors are certainly inviting on closer inspection. And the interior? The inside is pleasantly laid out with a unique theme. The front 'lawn' would make any plantation proud - large, shady trees with well-trimmed grass - which nicely separates you from the road & makes outdoor seating in warm weather a delight. If you are in the area, you simply must stop in. If you are a local or regular visitor to Tupelo, go often - you won't regret it!

My wife and I went to Regina’s kitchen actually to take a biscuit making course it was great we enjoyed it very much Regina was very hospitable and friendly we’ve eaten at the Kings Tavern which is also operated by Regina but if you want a great meal for two or three or a group I would go back to Regina’s kitchen during wine night and really it’s a very enjoyable place and when I looked on TripAdvisor I noticed it was rated as 15 and I’ll tell you we’ve gone to a lot of places in Natchez to eat and I would not rate it number 15, Regina’s kitchen is up there 1 to 3 along with the tavern great place, well worth the price an the atmosphere is super. This is definitely a go to Spot every time were in Natchez.
