Exceptional Tour Guide - Our tour guide had only been on the job for 3 days. Everyone on our tour was shocked at this because she was so knowledgeable! She was phenominal at explaining everything including the lives of each family member. She answered all questions asked & gave us the history of the families & the mansion itself like a pro. Very enjoyable. I'd highly recommend this tour!

A great way to spend an afternoon - The grounds are beautiful, the wine delicious. We did the mansion tour and Jeff was our guide he was fantastic just the right amount of dad jokes, and clearly very knowledge about the history of the mansion. We then sampled some wine and had a charcuterie platter at the restaurant out back.

Wonderful History at Belle Meade - We enjoyed our visit to Belle Meade. Our tour guide, Willie, was very informative sharing the interesting history of the generations of the family that lived there. It was fabulous to see how the mansion looked back in its day. We enjoyed the wine and bourbon tasting as well as walking around the area. I highly recommend visiting the Belle Meade if you are in the area.
