Wairarapa Agritourism – Exploring our opportunities networking evening.

The event follows last year’s successful agritourism workshop, exploring our opportunities, and is for anyone interested in agritourism within the Wairarapa. This is a great opportunity to connect with like-minded people and become part of the local agritourism community.

We have some fabulous guest speakers who will discuss what makes a great product, how you can develop your agritourism offering and how to tell your story.
