Agrotourism initiatives in South Tyrol focus on preserving traditional agrarian customs and providing supplemental income for family farms. Programs such as Roter Hahn certify establishments that maintain active agricultural production, such as orchards, vineyards, and livestock, ensuring guests experience authentic rural routines rather than staged aesthetics.

Building on these traditions, the Gallo Rosso brand, managed by the South Tyrolean Farmers and Direct Growers Union, has supported farm diversification since 1998. The system includes approximately 1,600 farm stays and over 120 farms dedicated to food production and craftsmanship. To maintain standards, the program utilizes a flower-based classification system. Recent efforts have expanded to include the preservation of rural knowledge through workshops and a dedicated cooking school established in 2023 to teach historical culinary practices.
