The cornerstone of "The Amish Experience" is the Amish Farmlands Tour, taking you deep into the heart of the oldest Amish community in the world, as well as some of the most beautiful farmland you’ll ever set eyes upon. These are the same fertile fields that had attracted and have kept our Amish neighbors here for over 250 years. Our certified Amish Country Tours guide answers your questions while calling your attention to the fascinating activities we may observe on any given day.
When you join one of Lancaster's only Certified Guides on an air-conditioned van or motorcoach tour of the out-of-the-way back roads and country lanes, you'll experience a new sense of the work and family ethic that continues to mark the Amish way of life. You'll see one room school houses like the one where Jacob and his younger siblings learned their "English" subjects. You'll witness spectacular panoramas of patchwork farm land that are unparalleled in their intrinsic beauty, all farmed with horses and mules rather than tractors and combines.
Roadside stands, bake shops, or a visit to a craft or quilt shop on an Amish farm... are among the unique happenings that may be enjoyed on your two-hour Farmlands excursion. Our stop at the Mount Hope Wine Gallery provides an educational and entertaining wine appreciation of award-winning Lancaster County wines (grape juice offered for the children).
