The World's Largest Rolling Tailgate Party

Tally Ho!

Held annually on the first Saturday of November, the Belle Meade Hunt Opening Meet is one of the most popular events in Georgia and the largest of its kind in the world. Many of our patrons return each year.

Imagine a luxurious afternoon hayride, watching horses and hounds ‘give chase’ through the countryside.

Enjoy beautiful Hunt Country, mingle with riders as you toast at Champagne Hill, watch the sun set on the leisurely ride back to the barn, and enjoy an evening social before heading back to the big city.

Guests may ride the Tally Ho Wagons on the World’s Largest Rolling Tailgate Party™ or participate on horseback.
