Belle Meade Historic Site & Winery

Immerse yourself in the history of Tennessee and hospitality at the Belle Meade Historic Site & Winery. You can explore the verdant grounds and Belle Meade Mansion, sample Southern cuisine and an array of wines, and attend educational tours. We especially recommend the Journey to Jubilee Tour, which invites discussion and explores the stories of the enslaved African Americans who were brought to and born at Belle Meade.*

Franklin on Foot

Just south of Nashville is the town of Franklin, and a great way to experience its downtown is through Franklin on Foot. The walking tours highlight the history, architecture and culture of the town. Eat your way through the bustling neighborhood on the Food Tour, which stops at several eateries.*

Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage

The seventh president of the United States’ home has been preserved since his death in 1845, and the estate boasts an extensive roster of attractions. The Hermitage offers several suggested itineraries to make the most of your stay, featuring museum exhibits; tours of the mansion, gardens and trails; the Natchez Hills Winery; and a tour with a historic interpreter about the lives of enslaved people who lived at The Hermitage.*
