Red Deer County launches Driving Agri-Tourism initiative

Jun 7, 2024 | 5:00 PM

On June 6, 2024, Red Deer County launched its interactive tour guide called Driving Agri-Tourism.

Starting now until August 2024, County officials say the public can explore six unique tours designed to showcase the diverse offerings from local farms to breweries, and wineries in the central region.

Using the online tool, the public can access the location of each tour and create a virtual guide on what destination they would like to visit.

Current tours are as follows: Farm Tour, Foodie Tour, Young Adventurer Tour, Brewery & Wine Tasting Tour, Garden Tour, and a Historical Tour.

“When you take a tour, you’re joining us in growing our local economy and preserving our agricultural traditions,” said Mayor Jim Wood, “The virtual guide allows you to go at your own pace and carve out which destinations you may want to visit first. Agri-Tourism celebrates our agricultural heritage and supports our local businesses.”

County officials say the Driving Agri-Tourism free virtual map can be accessed on the County’s website at www.rdcounty.ca/DrivingAgriTourism.

Those interested are invited to plan their summer adventure routes with ease and select businesses that have also offered coupons which will be linked on the website as well.
