Apple Hill High Hill Ranch in Placerville

It was my first time visiting Apple Hill and it didnt disappoint. The location is surrounded by the beautiful scenery, pine trees galore and mountains in the distance.Its an outdoors kind of event, a farmers market in the front featuring apples, all kinds of varieties: Fiji, Granny Smith, Delicious, etc at prices lower than the grocery store. They have an outdoor grill and have meats cooking like Italian sausage, hot links, burgers and more. I think the prices are on the steep side, $13 for an Italian sausage...but you be the judge.Further in, they have sweets like premade frozen pies, applesauce, and fudge. There is a bar for the 21 and over drinker. They feature hard apple cider, along with other apple beers and wines. The lines may be long but they move very fast as there are a lot of registers open and moving customers along.Across the street there is a childrens train ride and a marvelous view of the Christmas trees further out.Bathrooms are decent. Handicap acceptable. There were 3 or 4 stalls plus a few sinks.Parking is free and spacious. Handicap parking is available.

This place is way more of a mob scene than I recall from my last visit (2018). Think: Flea Market on steroids. That being said, the Cat Herders do a bang up job keeping traffic going inside the property proper. On the way in is a whole other story. I do love their Asian pears. And the family friendly atmosphere is there. We brought a visitor from Peru. Make sure you check out the vendors you patronize so you know if you are actually receiving High/Apple Hill goods. Many arent. Yet there are plenty of quality handcrafted items to select from. I think my frequency of visits is good at once every 5 years. YMMV

Delicious pies and food, a little pricey but worth the experience. The pie house restaurant does serve more than 5 different varieties of pies and cakes. You have to go inside to see the signs for deserts. Outside you can buy whole pies only. Lots of seating. There are also homemade donuts but the line was pretty long. Hay ride around the orchard is very short really not worth the price but an experience fun for kids and dogs. The market had fresh caramel and other candied apples and goodies. Also, fresh fruit in season, jams, jellies and other sweets. Many local vendors selling unique crafts and parking wasnt too bad. I will definitely go to the other locations to check out more variety and try more pies!

Fun for the whole Family. Had a blast so many different vendors to explore awesome food and treats available. And you can fish for rainbow trout at the fishing hole. Such a fun time and beautiful memories.

Our family makes the drive to Apple Hill every October for the fresh pies, pastries, great lunches and craft vendors that can be found at many of the locations. Bringing home the fresh Cider and treats is the highlight of the experience.

Great place for the family. A few of activities, places to grab a bite and tons of small local artisan shops selling cool stuff! Don’t forget to try their apple donuts and pies!

Very beautiful 😍 loved the apple beer and the apple fritter is amazing a must have I tried the apple pie 🥧 was good but not exciting to me. Very beautiful area great for kids.

I always enjoy going to High Hill! Its fun to browse the shops and pick up pies, donuts, turnovers! Be prepared to bring cash because there is a slight charge to use a credit card.

It has been a favorite pastime for about 20 years now. Love all the craft vendors, fudge factory, donut shop, pie house, tractor train ride, and pond that has fishing and feeding of the ducks. Nestled in the hills just above Placerville with plenty of parking even in the orchard among the trees, as an overflow. Recommend planning to be there for a few hours in order to see and experience everything.

Great family time. Good food, peaceful views. Everything Apples, delicious!Traffic is horrible trying to get in to this place.
