Ag/Eco Tours
If this sounds foreign, you will soon find the concept as engaging as it is unique. Agritourism is based around the lives and history of families who have lived off land-based operations like viticulture, winemaking, conventional agriculture and farmers markets. Visit any vineyard or agricultural destination and you will feel the ingrained sense of history that has sustained it through the ages.
Agritourism is a style of vacation that normally takes place on a farm or ranch. This may include the chance to help with farming and ranching tasks during the visit. Agritourism is considered to be a niche or uniquely adapted form of tourism and is often practiced in wine growing regions.
Visitors can pick fruits and vegetables, ride horses, taste honey, learn about wine, shop in farm gift shops and farm stands for local and regional produce or hand-crafted gifts. |
