The Perfect Blend on History and Wine
The Belle Meade Estate is a historic landmark in Nashville, TN, that was once one of the premier plantations in the area. Founded by the Harding family, it was best known for its horse breeding and racehorse breeding.
Today, the historic property is an interactive history exhibit where visitors can explore the restored mansion, outbuildings and manicured gardens and learn about the history and lifestyle of the plantation.
