Apple Hill
When I was younger my parents used to take my sister and I to Apple Hill in the Fall. Apple Hill is a little town near Placerville, California with several apple farms. They are famous for their cider, donuts, and pies. For a full list of recommendations on eating and drinking, I'd take a look at this article.
Living in San Francisco it is rare for me to experience Fall weather since San Francisco is pretty much the same season year-round. This past weekend we decided to take a family road trip up to Apple Hill for old times sake. It's still beautiful and one of my favorite places to visit (and photograph) in the Fall.
