Belle Meade Bourbon Experience
What to Expect
Discover the world of Belle Meade Bourbon and indulge in a truly unique experience. Take a moment to relax in our historic Ice House and learn the art of savoring a bourbon neat. Immerse yourself in the history of whiskey as you sip on a delicious cocktail and finish your journey by learning to craft a signature beverage with the guidance of our expert bourbon stewards.
The Bourbon
Belle Meade Bourbon is distilled by our partner, Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery, a local Nashville gem! We feature their Classic Sour Mash Bourbon on this ticketed experience and sell both the classic and Reserve Bourbon by the bottle in our tasting room.
Arrival
Please arrive at Belle Meade Historic Site and Winery at least 15 minutes before your reservation time slot, as the bourbon experience will start right on time. If you’d like to explore the grounds before or after your ticketed time slot, our grounds open as early as 9:00 AM and close at 5:00 PM. When you arrive, check-in at the visitor center's ticketing office to get your wristbands and any updated information. Proceed to the Ice House after check-in. This can be located on the map in your Visitors Guide. The Ice House doors will open right at the scheduled reservation time.
Late Arrivals
If you arrive after the experience has started, we will do our best to accommodate you if time allows. However, due to the nature of our experience, we will not be able to backtrack on what you may have missed. Depending on the time, the bourbon steward will do their best to catch you up, but we thank you for understanding that this is not always possible. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, we may need to make other arrangements for your party.
Cancellations & Refunds
Cancellations must be made 24 hours before your reserved time to receive a full refund. Our ticketed experiences book quickly, so we thank you for allowing us time to rebook other guests should you forfeit your reservation. Cancellations within 24 hours of the reservation will not be issued a refund. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the winery at (615) 356-6164.
