The highly anticipated second annual AgriTourism Summit will be held in the vibrant Orange region of NSW on 12-13 August 2025.
Australia’s agritourism revolution is here—and it’s growing fast.
This August, the peak dedicated AgriTourism Summit heads to Orange, NSW, bringing together farmers, government leaders, and changemakers to explore the power of turning farm gates into front doors for visitors.
With celebrity chef and farmer Matt Moran and Senator Nita Green, Assistant Minister for Tourism, headlining the event, this is not your average conference—this is a must-attend movement.
See it. Hear it. Walk it. That’s what sets this event apart.
At the AgriTourism Summit, it’s not just about talking—it’s about doing. This is where face-to-face conversations become future-ready strategies.
The Summit, which will be held at Banksia, will centre on showcasing real-world agritourism success stories, unpacking practical tools for growth, and addressing the structural and policy challenges facing the sector. Themes include connecting food to place, building inclusive and resilient farm-based experiences, and empowering new and emerging operators with business and branding know-how.
The programme also explores enabling policy reform, the need for a unified national voice, and Australia’s place within the global agritourism landscape. With a focus on innovation, collaboration, and bold thinking, the day will highlight both grassroots and next-generation perspectives on unlocking the full potential of agritourism in Australia.
If you’re a farmer looking to create a new income stream and tap into growing visitor demand, this event is made for you. Hear from real farmers from across Australia who’ve transformed their operations into thriving tourism destinations, from paddock-to-plate dining to pick your own orchards and event venues.
“This is about delivering a practical, down-to-earth, event that enables farmers and local, state and Federal Government to all come together and share, learn, and network.
“And it’s not just talk. Day Two’s exclusive famils (familiarisation tours) take you out of the conference and onto the land, hearing from local operators and serving up inspiration you can take home and act on”. Gary FitzRoy the event organiser said.
The Summit will highlight the huge potential for agritourism to generate jobs, drive regional visitation, and strengthen community pride—making it a powerful tool for development and decentralisation. Local, state, and federal governments all have a role to play in enabling its growth. The event offers a rare opportunity to engage directly with producers and councils, explore policy and planning barriers, and learn from successful models—highlighting how targeted support and practical collaboration can unlock lasting regional impact.
“This is not just another conference,” added Fitzroy, “We’re literally taking the walls down – with a one of a kind format that blends keynote sessions with immersive, on-the-ground experiences. We welcome delegates to come and walk the land, talk to the people working on it, taste their produce and get inspired by what’s possible within this hugely exciting sector.”
