Apple Hill

The weekend I was in Sacrament for Women of faith, Adam made a last minute decision to meet me there saturday after the convention and drive to Apple Hill for the night. Apple Hill is an area in Northern California that is known for it's farms, produce and winery's. The town most notably connected to it is Placerville. This is where we stayed that night. Placerville is only about an hour drive from Sacramento. When we first got there, Adam suprised me by arriving to a bed and breakfast that we would be staying in that night. Iv'e always said I wanted to stay in a bed and breakfast! We pulled up and there was a little girl running around with only a diaper on and the man who owned the bed and breakfast was chasing her, he greeted us at the door- it was awesome!


Placerville from the hill by our B&B. The hill is scattered with old victorian homes


The front of our B&B


It had such funky fun decorations. I guess the owners were theatre majors


This is our cute little room

In the morning we were made apple struessel french toast and ate in the dining room. I could totally spend a week or so at a B&B. The concept is so fun!



We walked the short distance to "downtown" literally a street full of shops maybe 2 football feilds long. We soon discovered they had just started a wine and art festival- so we joined! We had a good time and afterwards ate dinner at a fancy cafe.


The next day was all Apple Hill

A quant little winery we visited

This was at one of the produce farms.

Along with a million kinds of apples and other fruits there was lots of fun craft stations. Adam bought and designed me 3 rings made from old buttons!

Hey Chelsea! This is your cousin, Lauren. :) My husband is from Sacramento and always went to Apple Hill with his family to get their Christmas trees. How funny that you should blog about it. Glad you had fun!
