Food and Wine Tourism
Another proposal is that of food and wine tourism, where food takes on a new role, becoming the medium of a territory, a culture, and the values linked to the land and its roots. Food and wine have assumed a new centrality, transforming from an accessory element into a component capable of influencing tourist behavior. Tours will be offered at farms to allow customers to directly experience the various stages of food harvesting and processing, with hands-on experiences throughout all the different phases.
