Destination Wairarapa is partnering with Inside New Zealand & Business Wairarapa to bring our primary enterprises the first workshop of a series exploring agritourism opportunities with some experts in the field. The first event is Thu 19th Oct 2023, 10:00 am - 2:15 pm at the Carterton Events Centre.
While agritourism is often used as a strategy for increasing income, many agritourism operators are as interested in sharing their passion for food production, land stewardship, rural lifestyles and authentic agricultural experiences, as they are in generating income.
