Overview
History and hospitality...two words that have been at the foundation of Belle Meade for over 200 years. In the 1800s, Belle Meade was one of the largest and wealthiest private estates in Nashville, raising the nation's finest thoroughbred race horses. Having hosted celebrities, presidents, generals, and a wealth of revered turfmen, Belle Meade became Nashville's first attraction. Located just seven miles west of downtown Nashville, today this sanctuary of Southern hospitality offers Guided Tours, Food and Wine Pairings, Bourbon Tastings, Segway Tours, outstanding Gift Shops, Nashville's first Winery, an on-site Restaurant, an Outdoor Game Court, and some of the most beautiful Grounds in Nashville

We have visited other Mansions but found the history of Belle Meade to be unique. The tour guide was very informative and answered all of our questions in detail. Give yourself enough time to explore the grounds and all it has to offer.

We had a knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide. She set the rules with a group of young women more interested in taking photos of themselves than listening to the guide. It could have been truly irritating if she didn’t explain the rules. There was much to see after we toured the mansion. Allow yourself enough time to see it all!

What a wonderful experience. The property was absolutely beautiful to walk. The mansion tour offered a knowledgeable tour guide. Made the experience interesting.Prior to the tour we did the chef tasting with wine pairing. Regarding the tasting itself, it was one of the best I’ve had. Food was delicious and the wine pairing was a perfect match. Not only was it about the tasting but we learned so much about the proper way of tasting wine and also how to properly open a bottle of wine and champagne. I would highly recommend making it part of the Nashville visit. Especially as a escape the noisy downtown bars. This offers a classy and fun experience. A fun day experience that ends with some fudge or ice cream you can purchase and eat on the property.

We have visited lots of different planations but this one by far has the best house tour. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Belle Meade past and present. The wine tasting at the end was lots of fun. Do not hesitate to visit Belle Meade and the grounds.

Very close to downtown Nashville, about a 10 minute Uber ride. The grounds of the mansion are stunning (great for photos) and even though the tour was self guided, they had a staff member in every room to answer questions, so it almost felt like you had your own private tour guide along the way.

Went to the Bourbon tasting and found it to be an incredibly interesting experience. Learned about the history of Belle Meade which was fascinating. Our bourbon expert Becky Yannayon was amazing I could have listened for another hour. If you like bourbon or even kind of like bourbon, this is a must see while in Nashville
