 AgriTourismAgritourism is often found in the wine growing regions in Italy and Spain. In America, Agritourism is wide-spread and includes any farm open to the public at least part of the year. Tourists can pick fruits and vegetables, ride horses, taste honey, stomp grapes, learn about wine at vineyards, find fresh lavender, shop in farm gift shops and farm stands for local and regional produce or hand-crafted gifts, and much more. Agri-tourism is developing into a large part of the tourism industry as people are becoming more interested in how their food is produced. Here in Fredericksburg, Texas and the surrounding Texas Hill Country you will find a growing wine industry, peach, plum and apple orchards, fresh blackberries, farm fresh cheese, home baked breads and desserts and much, much more! So, come and explore the delicious bounty that the Texas Hill Country has to offer. |

Moreover, the region is speckled with 22 wineries that buzz with food and music festivals year round. And towns like Fredericksburg offer a taste of the Old World, with German-style biergartens and schnitzelhauser. " #1 on Away.com's Top 10
