Great experience at Belle Meade! Worth the trip!! - The tour was great! The guide was very knowledgeable. Not too many people in our tour group. Check in was easy! You wander around the grounds for the rest of the day. 3 meats was great for lunch. Huge portions and great flavor. We did a wine tasting that was also fun!!!

Great History - The history was fascinating. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the family and the history. I wish it could have been a bit longer as the home is 10,000 sq feet and we really didn't see that much of it. Loved the rich history.

Pleased visitors from New York State. - We were very pleased with the tour guide, the mansion and the grounds. Very interesting to note that all the home furnishings were sold off at one time to pay a family debt.......but the historical preservation department of Tenn. was able through research to locate/purchase similar if not the exact pieces missing. The displays appeared authentic as if the family was out for the day. I would highly recommend the tour. P.B.

Great Place! - Wonderful day spent touring the Belle Meade Mansion. Beautiful grounds and the staff was very informative. The winery was located near a garden and had live music. The wine tasting was fun and bought a couple of bottles.

Beautiful mansion and grounds. - Loved the history. The mansion was beautiful. Our guide was darling. The only drawback was that she spoke a little too fast and not quite loud enough. But overall a very enjoyable experience.
