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, outstanding Gift Shops, Nashville's first Winery, an on-site Restaurant, an Outdoor Game Court, and some of the most beautiful Grounds in Nashville.

5.00The tour was interesting and the grounds were beautiful. Our tour guide was excellent. She handled a group of parents and small children very professionally. The kids were noisy and trying to misbehave. Parents were doing their best. Our guide had to remind them several times to not touch things or sit on the furniture. She handled it very well. There was a wine tasting at the end that was super rushed. Tour was worth it.

5.00This is a beautifully preserved mansion. The grounds are really pretty. The tour guide was very professional and knowledgeable and answered every question that our group had! The wine tasting was a bonus. The young women who served us were very friendly. If you would like to taste one the wines that was not part of the tasting please ask them!
We had a wonderful tour...
