Discover the Possibilities as You Explore Manitoba

Welcome to a place where golden wheat fields stretch beneath endless blue skies, and more than 110,000 pristine lakes and waterways invite both adventure and renewal. Manitoba is a land of wide-open spaces, warm welcomes, and unforgettable rural experiences.

Authentic, Hands-On Experiences

With members of the Manitoba Country Vacations Association (MCVA), you don’t just visit — you participate.

  • Feed and care for livestock on a working farm

  • Learn to bake fresh bread from scratch

  • Hear captivating local history and folklore

  • Try your hand at carving soapstone

  • Take part in a reflective shamanic journey

  • Or simply enjoy meaningful conversation around the kitchen table

Every MCVA host offers experiential tourism — whether through a thoughtfully designed package or the simple, genuine connection that comes from sharing everyday rural life. Here, you’re welcomed like a long-lost friend.

Find Your Perfect Experience

From immersive farm stays to creative workshops and restorative retreats, there’s something for every interest and pace.

Explore our wide variety of offerings and connect directly with your host to design the package or experience that’s just right for you.

Come discover the possibilities — and experience Manitoba in a whole new way.
