Apple Hill in Placerville, CA is a must during the autumn! The Central Valley is a strange place in the Fall and tends to lack the autumn colors so this place is a great escape and is less the 2 hours from where we live. This time around we went with a few friends and only made two stops! Less time in the car and more time outside makes for happier kiddos. We stopped at High Hill Ranch and Delfino Farms.

High Hill Ranch

We spent nearly two hours at High Hill Ranch. It was so much fun for the kids. Sawyer saw the pony’s and immediately wanted to partake. So we paid the $8 and let her do the pony rides. She sang the theme song to Spirit and pet her new friend Bandit. High Hill has amazing donuts and treats. I may have bought six donuts so I could save a few for the following morning.

Delfino Farms

Delfino Farms is so beautiful and relaxing. It’s placed on top of a hill and has incredible views. We grabbed some hard cider, some food and had a picnic outside. Delfino Farms Blackberry Hard Cider is incredible. It almost has a sparkling rose taste. They also have mouth watering tri-top sandwhiches and I’m still dreaming about it. You can purchase massive sized pies to take home and go for a nature walk. It’s definitely a stop on the Apple Hill map I will do again.
