Heartland – Set Visit
Life brings change. Love brings you home.
Set against the stunning vistas of the Alberta Rocky Mountains, Heartland is a sprawling family drama that follows sisters Amy and Lou Fleming and their grandfather, Jack, through the highs and lows of life on a horse ranch.
Heartland continues to be a multi-generational saga about a family getting through life together in both happy and trying times. The series tells real stories about real people, people who the audience has grown to love and welcome into their homes. It takes a realistic, edgy and humorous approach to its stories with a balance of drama and comedy, adventure and romance, all against the glorious backdrop and stunning vistas of the foothills of Alberta.
Starring:
Amber Marshall, Michelle Morgan, Graham Wardle, Shaun Johnston, Nathanial Arcand, & Chris Potter
Testimonial from 2011 Heartland Set-Visit Winner
"Our vacations in Alberta were already scheduled and reserved, when we had the chance to win the auction CNIB for the Heartland set visit.
(The day we arrived) Heartland was not filming at the ranch, but Gordon, the publicist of Heartland, who would be our guide all day, thought we would like to see the ranch before going to where filming is taking place. We met Gordon at the gate of ranch. What a beautiful location of the Heartland set ranch, rounded of green meadows with the Rockies in the background. We walked down the road to the barn, and so we could appreciate what a quiet place it is, even more beautiful in real as on the TV. There was nothing on the horizon to spoil the view, the grass was cut and wrapped in bundles of hay, and there were even two horses on the meadow.
Heartland was filming at a racetrack today, so we took the car and drove to the racetrack. When we arrived, Gordon shows us the “circus”. The circus is all the trailers used by the production to bring all that is required for the filming, and the actor’s dressing rooms. This circus is moving from set to set, according to the film locations. It was an awesome day, we all enjoyed it and we will remember this day a long time. In addition to meeting the actors and to visit the set, we learned so much about filming a TV show.
Once again, we would like to give our thanks to Heartland, the cast and crew for their kindness and hospitality. Good luck to continue the great job, hoping still many episodes and seasons of Heartland (and now, very happy that there is a season 6)." Francis and family (2011 bid winner from France).

The cost of the item is your high-bid amount + shipping.
