In 1807 Belle Meade was established on the outskirts of Nashville. Unlike contemporary farms in the region, Belle Meade was not renowned for the production of cash crops, but for the Thoroughbred racehorses that would eventually take the Harding’s and their estate to a national and global level of fame during its 100 years of operation. The guide will share stories of the people who lived there, the horses they raised, and the people that worked on the Thoroughbred farm. At the end of the tour there is a complimentary wine tasting in our on-site winery. While here, enjoy a self-guided tour of our 8 historic out-buildings and 30-acre grounds.
