It is always a pleasure to visit Rainbow Orchards. Friendly staff, great apples and other fruit, baked goodies, and their hot and fresh apple donuts that melt in your mouth. It looks like they have repaved part of their parking lot and exit road which makes it smoother - helpful for those with mobility issues. Their large picnic area is pleasant and relaxing. Will definitely go back before the season ends.

My son and wife were married in the group campground June of last year. It was one of the best weddings! And the group area was fantastic. We also have my family-in-law's yearly reunion there at another of their larger group campgrounds and love going there every time it is held at Sly!!!! I go there often just to kayak or have smaller camp outings. Sly is a family favorite!!!

Reviewed By Lisa S - Roseville, California
Lovely farm with plenty of fresh produce, free samples and delicious pastries. We stopped by around Halloween time to pick out our pumpkins and to get some fresh jarred Apple pumpkin butter. They make their own pies and cider and prices are good. Definitely worth a stop either solo or with the whole family.

Well maintained, beautiful course a little bit off the beaten path. Lots of nice elevation changes, Unfortunately we got completely rained out after the 5th - fairways turned into lakes and greens had mini-streams running through them. Our experience was not the norm, I'm sure, as the area appears typically pretty dry. The die hard golfers in our 2 groups wanted to return the next day to challenge the course again....

If you are driving from or to South Lake Tahoe you may want to stop for a brief look at the Bridal Vail Falls. They are right next to the highway with parking opportunities and space for maybe be short picnic. Especially after the recent El Nino rains it is worth a look.

Madrona Vineyards has an excellent assortment of wines. They have a wide array of red wines, with a couple of whites as well. We wholeheartedly recommend their El Tinto, a blend that changes each year but that has been excellent for at least the five...MoreThank you for you review, and we look forward to your next visit! The El Tinto, Lot 36, will be released soon. Maggie

Rides galore, and plenty of apple and wine based activities.
Reviewed By Steve R - Roseville, California
If you want a place to get all the feel, tastes and smells of Apple Hill, without a lot of driving, this is your place.
Located right off Hwy 50 ( although late on a busy weekend day traffic can be seriously busy) It's at the top of the hill.
It's got good pies and goodies of course but also, there's a kids trout fishing pond where a catch is almost a guarantee, a crafts fair with "stuff" for sale, but also attached is the Fudge Factory with an amazing and delicious array of fudge, candies, Caramel Apples and the hard to find and my personal favorite, real candied apples (with the red crackle candy outside)...wow good.
Then if you'd like to change it up, you can walk down a lane to Madrona winery for a taste. Good wines. And now if you'd like another taste of wine, across and down the street is Jodar Wines, which surprised me how good they are.
When time to go and want some apple butter, pies, nuts, syrups and bushels of fruit to bring home, just stop at Boa Vista on the way back down toward Placerville.
And there you have it, Apple Hill in a nutshell or a little slice of Apple....Hill.

Celebrate the magic of mountain-grown grapes and the beauty that surrounds Lava Cap Winery. Savor the taste of well-balanced wines rich with full flavor and body, vibrant fruit, crisp acidity and soft tannins. Bring a picnic and relax on the deck overlooking our vineyards.
Reviewed By Jeff W - South Lake Tahoe, California
Had a great time cooling off here in the wine tasting room on a steamy Sunday outside Placerville. Quite a retreat. Staff servers were outstanding and friendly and the wines varied all over the palate. Loved the whites and Zins so much I joined the wine club on the spot and arranged for quarterly delivery. This winery, along with others nearby, is a great place to hang out with other adults and sip delicious wine that you can NEVER get in a story. Only regret is that we ran out of time, so we'll have to return for another day in the countryside.
