Fun afternoon - This is a really beautiful property. The tour of the mansion was fascinating with so many of the original furnishings-wonderful old antiques. Fun to hear the history of thoroughbred stallions and horse racing. It was nice to have a cup of wine to walk around and take a look at the property and the old buildings. It was a really nice way to spend the afternoon. Lovely gift shop too.

One of the best historical property tours I've ever done. - Learned so much from our excellent tour guide about the family history highlights, life on the property for enslaved and family, the horse breeding business of the time, so much more. Property is incredible, staff very professional. Excellent wine tasting, great gift shop, good value for the price. Worth a visit.

Battle at Belle Meade - an exceptional tour with excellent guide Willie - The guided tour of the Belle Meade mansion was worthwhile and informative, taking us back to the heyday of the mansion. But our "Battle at Belle Meade" tour was even better. Our guide, Willie, a history student took us around the grounds and back to the Civil War times when exciting war events were all around. There are even some bullet holes on the columns. The grounds are beautiful - highly recommend this tour!!

A pleasant fall morning - It was a beautiful fall morning, the sun was shining and a cool breeze was blowing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. When they saw that my wife was using a walker, they volunteered a way for us to see part of the manor without having to climb stairs. Over all, it was a very pleasant experience. My wife had read several novels about belle meade, being there brought these stories more alive for her.

Learned some well known and not so well known history of Belle Meade. Our guide made history come to life - Absolutely gorgeous day spent learning history relevant to our area. Our guide was so well informed and charming. Our family had come to visit from out of town and we wanted to do something memorable together! This was an excellent choice and highly recommend it!

A Great Day at Belle Meade - My sisters and I originally came for the winery but stayed for hours. We absolutely loved the cafeteria style lunch of pulled pork and veggie sides, then joined the Mansion tour, learning all about the family who created Belle Meade and the horses they raised. We enjoyed the wine tasting experience, but not necessarily the wines… We enjoyed walking the grounds and reading all the informative signs

Interesting - The house is interesting and the guide well informed. We also enjoyed a nice outdoor seating area near the winery. There is a large gift shop and several outbuildings that were less interesting. But overall it was a nice way to spend a little time.
