media release: We are thrilled to officially pull back the curtain on the 2026 Hill and Valley Exploration Tour. Whether you are a seasoned regular “explorer" or a first-time wanderer, this year is shaping up to be our most vibrant yet.
Our mission remains the same: celebrating the rural gems, creative spirits, and hardworking farms that make our region so special. This year, we’ve got a packed calendar of events leading up to the main event this September.
Clear your calendars! The Hill and Valley Exploration Tour will take place over two weekends this fall:
September 19-20
September 26-27
Prepare for open barns, fall colors, amazing produce, delicious food and beverages, family adventures, artist studio tours, and the very best of our local harvest. Bring your boots, a cooler and a sweater, and get ready to enjoy!
Don't forget your guide! Tour maps can be picked up at every participating venue, as well as the Reedsburg Chamber of Commerce. Venues will be punching their location on the maps, which can be submitted at the end of your tour for a chance to win a gift certificate.
