Tupelo, Mississippi, is positively the place for a fall couple’s getaway. This autumn, hand in hand with your special someone, explore the city together, try the local food, and take in the season’s festive energy.

Book your stay at Hotel Tupelo, a boutique property nestled in Downtown Tupelo’s Fairpark District. This chic hotel features 79 stylish rooms, upscale amenities, and anon-site bar and restaurant. If your four-legged family member gets to tag along, Hotel Tupelo is hound dog approved, ensuring your furry companion is welcome, too. Many other hotels offer pet-friendly stays, such as the Hampton Inn & Suites and Tru by Hilton.
Start your date night with a visit to Queen’s Reward Meadery, Tupelo’s first and only meadery. They offer a delightful array of award-winning small-batch meads crafted from 100% Mississippi honey. Whether you enjoy your mead dry or sweet, you’re sure to find a variety that you both love. Take a tour, enjoy a tasting, and learn about the process of mead-making. Sip your favorite variety while enjoying the crisp weather on their expansive lawn or sample their famous mead slushies.
With over 200 restaurants, deciding where to dine might be the hardest part of your trip. The city boasts many eateries for alfresco fall dining.
