Cross everything off your shopping list with our baked goods, Christmas Trees, wine and more!
The apple harvest may be over but there is still plenty to enjoy at Apple Hill Grower farms this holiday season. Most Apple Hill farms are still open as well as the area wineries.
It is hard to name a more quintessential fall dessert than hot apple pie! The bake shops of Apple Hill are working overtime to create delicious pies in many styles – and not just apple. Take home a few of your favorites frozen to save for Christmas and beyond. Frozen pies will stay delicious for up to a year in the freezer. It’s also the season to enjoy a cup of hot apple cider and take in the fall foliage. The area is also flush with prime spots to get a great family photo for your holiday card or your Instagram feed.
The smell of fresh pine is synonymous with fall in the foothills. Many Apple Hill Grower tree farms open the weekend after Thanksgiving and visitors can pick their perfect tree, and in some places, cut it down themselves.
You can also pick up stocking stuffers or hostess gifts that are made right here in El Dorado County.Most Grower farms produce artisan products from jams, sauces and mulling spices to olive oils and lavender sachets. The farms are stocked with fun and locally made items for everyone on your list.
Last but not least, don’t forget to pick up wine for all the holiday season festivities. Our wineries have some beautiful wines that complement the traditional Thanksgiving menu as well as varietals to pair with any Christmas meal. Don’t forget to pick up some bubbles to ring in 2024!
