Apple Hill’s Year-Round Charm: Delicious Farms, Festivals & Family Fun Await In El Dorado County
Apple Hill in El Dorado County isn’t just a fall destination-this vibrant region of 50+ family farms, bakeries, wineries, and U-pick experiences offers flavors, fun, and scenic escapes all year long for families and food lovers alike.
Nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills near Placerville, Apple Hill is much more than a fall hotspot—it’s a year-round playground of delicious flavors, outdoor adventure, and community spirit. Home to over 50 family farms, bakeries, wineries, cideries, Christmas tree farms, and B&Bs, Apple Hill has welcomed visitors since its founding in 1964 and continues thriving across every season.
Sweet Beginnings, Seasonal Surprises – While famous for apple orchards and cider-donut indulgence during autumn, many ranches and bake shops stay open through winter and spring. Guests can enjoy fresh berries, aromatic lavender, homemade jams, and even hot cider donuts long after the apple harvest has ended. Seasonal favorites include winter visits to Christmas-tree farms, spring wildflower blooms, and summer berry pick-your-own adventures.
Farm-Fresh Eats & Craft Sips-Apple Hill’s farms offer more than apples: hard-cider tastings, winery pours, farm-to-table meals, and artisanal breads, pies, doughnuts, and jams are available throughout the year. Visitors can time lunch at a cozy B&B, taste ciders from a family-run cidery, or tour flower gardens and veggie patches. Year-round wineries and microbreweries add refinement alongside farm-fresh fare.
Family-Friendly Fun & Community Events-The region isn’t just about food—it’s a community hub with events and activities to suit all ages. You-pick pumpkin patches, kids’ farm tours, BBQ festivals, and seasonal celebrations like Blackberry Days or Cherry Week bring families together. Throughout the year, workshops, tastings, and evening gatherings offer a taste of farm life and local culture wrapped in scenic mountain charm.
Visit Apple Hill Any Season-Road-trippers from Sacramento, Tahoe, or Reno can plan a perfect lakeside day or weekend escape. Visitors are encouraged to use the free Apple Hill app for up-to-date event listings, open farm locations, and delicious recommendations.
Whether you’re craving a hot pie in autumn, a flower bouquet in spring, or a chilled cider in summer, Apple Hill invites all to explore winding scenic roads and fresh-picked experiences-no golden leaves required.
