Loved that we were met by someone at the door in time-period costume. She was very knowledgeable and personable. The home has been beautifully maintained. We ate at the cafe and it was wonderful and finished in the winery...with samples which were very good! More

We enjoyed our visit to this plantation and glad that it is being preserved for future generations to see. It showed us how well-to-do folks in the south lived and how the Civil War affected thier lives. The only complaint I, and other members in our group, have is the inability to take pictures inside even without flash. More

Pork sliders with three different sauces, fried green tomato pannini, a turkey Reuben and the fried oysters were washed down with our first Pimm's cocktail, ever!! (Pimm's liqueur, ginger ale, lemon and cucumber slices! Everything on the table was memorable, but the wait staff seemed to be in need of a few more waitresses. More

Plantation home was facinating, tour guide excellent! Of all things, the carriage collection was outstanding - really interesting and I am not normally into that kind of stuff! It gave backbone to view the home and understand how people lived back in the day. I would recommend it to everyone!! I also found it interesting that the home layout if... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Belle Meade with Margaret, our tour guide. Her seamless transition between 1st and 3rd person to describe the Belle Meade generations added to the experience. Enjoy the furnishings, antiques, and culture of the period. The grounds are well maintained, the slave quarters and first Harding home along with the carriage house bring it all together.... More

Have seen much more interesting houses elsewhere such as in Savannah, Ga. Tour guide spoke at length about Harding family but said almost nothing about the house itself or the furnishings. Another guide did not even know where the race horse stables were originally located. Seemed like hosts were more interested in moving group into wine sales room than anything... More
