The film was the "Centerpiece Premiere" at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival.[3] Fonda won a Golden Globe Award for his performance and was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor and a Screen Actors Guild Award.
The film's title refers most concretely to the honey Ulee produces as a beekeeper, particularly that made from the nectar of the tupelo tree.
Van Morrison sings "Tupelo Honey" (the title song of his 1971 album) over the end credits.
