Agritourism AbroadIn Europe, farm stays date back to the days when travelers needed accommodations and “paid” their way by lending a hand with the chores.
Today, you can visit a New Zealand kiwifruit orchard, stay at a 400-year-old Tuscan villa in a Chianti vineyard, or learn about tea production at a plantation in India. (P.S.: Find out in advance whether your hosts speak English.) Here’s a sampling of the world’s vast offering. Agritourism World — A database of farms worldwide.
