After this impressive presidential home tour, you’ll travel to Belle Meade Mansion and Plantation for the second half of your unique Nashville experience. Commissioned by John Harding in the 1820s, the Belle Meade Mansion started off as a beautiful two story Federal style home.

From dairy to carriage house, horse stable to mausoleum, discover it all on your Belle Meade Plantation tour. To conclude your visit, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in a tasting of fine Tennessee wine at Belle Meade’s on-site winery.
