Global Agritourism and Farm Holidays

Truly escape to the countryside with a farm cottage holiday

AgritourismAgritourism is not a new phenomenon, but with more people heading into cities to live and work, it has received a huge boost. Agritourism is the perfect way to truly discover the beautiful rural regions of Europe and beyond, often allowing visitors to work and live traditional rural lifestyles, far from tourist crowds and bars selling 'full English breakfasts' in generic resorts. There is no better way to see your surroundings in perfect peace.

Agritourism involves visiting a rural farm, often helping in agricultural practices but always enjoying the hearty, rich lifestyles that have developed and embraced the local area. Agritourism holidays are the undisputed kings of rural cultural holidays, letting you learn anything from wine making to horse riding, local cookery to honey tasting, and all surrounded by stunning scenery in which your own, private holiday cottage stands. Agritourism is especially popular in the wine producing regions of France and Spain where budding connoisseurs can help with the harvest and pick up expert wine tasting tips.

Agritourism holidays can be as active or relaxed as you wish. There is always plenty to do, whether you are helping with the production, harvest or tending crops or enjoying the diverse range of rural activities that many farm holidays offer, from walking to horse riding, quad bike riding or fishing. Family agritourism holidays are particularly rewarding, giving children a great range of activities to try and all the space and freedom they could wish for while parents sit back in the sun by the pool enjoying a glass of the finest local wine!

Agrotourism is an extension of sustainable tourism, and as a result, reducing your environmental impact while enjoying agritourism is key. There are many ways to reduce your environmental impact while increasing your knowledge and appreciation for your holiday destination, as well as saving your holiday budget. Travelling by train, buying only local produce and using bicycles rather than a hire car upon your arrival both allows you to really immerse yourself in local cultures and lifestyles and keeping your environmental conscience clear!
