This was a charming tour of a historic site. If you are interested in horse racing history, southern history, or just viewing old homes you would enjoy this tour.

Very informative, beautifully presented and preserved. Friendly staff answered every question. The wine tasting was the crescendo of the trip. I purchased 2 of my favorites.

The history of the mansion is extremely interesting. And we learned about the breeding of racehorses and the fears of the high paid studs. It was a beautiful mansion with luxurious cartons and wall, hangings and art.

Very informational tour! We also enjoyed the wine tasting! Dallas did a great job as our tour guide. If we are ever back in TN we will have to do another tour. Highly recommend!

My husband and I had a free day in Nashville. This was not originally in our plans, however so glad we went. It was very enjoyable. Our tour guide was exceptional, and the estate is worth seeing. The wine was very good. We even brought a couple bottles home.
