Summer Harvest Days at Apple Hill
By Alysia Gray Painter, NBC L.A.
(PLACERVILLE, CALIFORNIA) July 30, 2022 — APPLE HILL? It has just the sort of evocative name that prompts us to daydream about autumnal outings, and changing leaves, and foliage-fun adventures, and cider in every form, from doughnuts to pies to the classic warm beverage. But the colorful collection of wineries, farms, and businesses that make up the Apple Hill Growers Association, near Placerville, stay busy before and beyond the fall months, with flowery events catching visitors’ eyes, and flower-loving fancies, in the heart of summer. The final days of July 2022 will fulfill our flower-obsessed longings, and a number of places will offer special summery happenings, with merch-merry marketplaces, u-pick lavender, turnovers bursting with seasonal berries, and fruit-luscious sangrias adding a warm vibe. You can find the full roster of effervescent events here.
