Farmery Estate Brewery is now officially one of Manitoba’s newest stars, as it’s been added to the Travel Manitoba Star Attractions list.

The Neepawa brewery has joined 62 other tourist destinations in the program, which is a joint venture between the province and Travel Manitoba. Its purpose is to provide access to highway directional signage and tourism marketing opportunities. As well, it highlights the attractions in Travel Manitoba’s annual Inspiration Guide, online and in various marketing programs.

Lawrence Warwaruk, co-owner of Farmery Estate Brewery, said the star designation is a positive not only for his business but for Neepawa and the surrounding area.

“This star attraction designation is received with our enthusiastic appreciation. It is recognition for all our ongoing efforts to continue our unique approach,” Warwaruk said. “We hope and expect that these star attraction location markers will not only increase traffic flow to Neepawa, but encourage people to stop and have a memorable experience and have these new travel customers tell their stories to others. We are so proud to call Neepawa our home for Farmery Estate Brewery. Having a star attraction reaffirms our commitment to establishing our business in rural Manitoba was the right choice and will have a positive economic benefit for years to come!”

Farmery Brewery was one of seven new attractions added to the list. The other notable inclusions this year included Sand Hills Casino near Carberry and Portage la Prairie’s Island Park.
