Consider this your fall weekend itinerary. 🍂

Start with a walk around Belle Meade’s 30+ acres, taking your time as the grounds begin to show off their fall colors. Then, step inside the Mansion for a guided tour and a closer look at the history of this property.

After your tour, settle in for lunch before finding a spot on the patio for live music. And if you’re ready to trade your w**e glass for a cocktail shaker, finish the day with a Bourbon Mixology Class in the historic Ice House. 🥃

Live music on the patio continues through November 1, so there’s still time to spend a fall weekend doing a little bit of everything at Belle Meade.

A walk through the grounds, a little history, changing leaves, horses in the pasture, and nowhere you need to rush off to next.

Come spend a fall day at Belle Meade. We think you’ll want to stay awhile. 🤎

We’re in luck! 🐴🤎

Thanks to Nashville’s warmer weather, it looks like our summer residents may be sticking around a little longer than expected. Nelson & Alibi will likely be grazing the pastures, meeting visitors, and bringing a piece of Belle Meade’s equestrian legacy to the property through December.

That means there’s even more time to stop by and say hello to these two during your next visit!

We’re certainly not complaining about a few extra weeks of horse time. 🐎

Join us at Belle Meade W**ery for The W**e Workshop Pt. 1!

We're going beyond the bottle to explore how different grape varieties come together to create a beautifully balanced w**e.

Led by a w**e educator, you’ll taste individual varieties alongside finished Belle Meade blends while exploring fruit, acidity, tannin, body, color, and structure. Along the way, you’ll learn how w**emakers decide what each grape brings to the blend and how those individual elements work together in the finished bottle.

No w**e expertise required. Just bring your curiosity (and maybe add a charcuterie board to make an evening of it).
