An insightful look into the past at Belle Meade
Our family of 4 (all adults, 21+) visited Belle Meade Historic Site and Winery and booked the Journey to Jubilee tour. It is a tour of parts of the grounds with a focus on the enslaved people on the former plantation and their lives after emancipation (the 1800s). Our guide, Kelsey, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the tour very informative and interactive. She answered all of our questions very thoroughly and was a great guide, and we got a very honest account of what life was like for enslaved people on the plantation. The tour tickets included entrance to the grounds, the guided tour itself (we explored 3 different buildings on the site; the tour included some outdoor and some indoor parts), and a wine tasting. It took us about 2 hours to complete, and the process of booking tickets and arriving to check in was very smooth. Overall would recommend!

Journey to Jubilee Guided Tour at Belle Meade with Wine Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nashville.
How much does Journey to Jubilee Guided Tour at Belle Meade with Wine Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $33 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nashville usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Journey to Jubilee Guided Tour at Belle Meade with Wine Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nashville is not rushed.
Is Journey to Jubilee Guided Tour at Belle Meade with Wine Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 419 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nashville, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Journey to Jubilee Guided Tour at Belle Meade with Wine Tasting?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Journey to Jubilee Guided Tour at Belle Meade with Wine Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Journey to Jubilee Guided Tour at Belle Meade with Wine Tasting?
+
Around 147 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nashville can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nashville and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Journey to Jubilee Guided Tour at Belle Meade with Wine Tasting start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nashville within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nashville?
+
Nashville's activity mix is unusually music-heavy: Ryman and Opry backstage tours, RCA Studio B sessions, songwriter rounds and honky-tonk crawls on Broadway. Around that sit distillery runs to Lynchburg and general-admission pedal taverns. Outty Ranking penalises the crawl operators that oversell group size, which is the most common complaint in this city. On Outty we rank every Nashville experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Nashville: Authentic Food Tour with 5 Tastings of Local Dishes, Nashville's Wildest Honky Tonk Public Party Bus (21+), Nashville RCA Studio B & Country Music Hall of Fame Ticket Combo. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nashville?
+
April to May and September to October, when patios open and the humidity drops. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nashville?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Journey to Jubilee Guided Tour at Belle Meade with Wine Tasting?

Not included: Guided Mansion Tours not included with this ticket (available to purchase separately on th. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
