In between Sacramento and South Lake Tahoe and near the town of Camino is a magical network of apple orchards called Apple Hill. These farms and the surrounding vineyards are all family owned and operated and each feature their own special variations on the classic apple treats of fall: apple fritters, apple donuts, apple cider and apple pie.
There is no better time to visit these beautiful orchards than the fall, when leaves are beginning to turn and the crisp, fresh apples are picked straight off the tree and at their best. Here are some of the reasons you must stop at in Apple Hill:
- Many places in the Apple Hill offer tremendous views of the Crystal Range of the Sierra Nevada.
