picnic area at Boa Vista OrchardsOctober
Most popular time of year to visit Boa Vista Orchards and Apple Hill. For good reason as all of the ranches are open. We have a wonderful variety of Apples, Pears, Baked Goodies, Arts & Crafts, etc. available. Even a wonderful Apple Wine and a delightful Barbera or Syrah Red Wine. You can also ride the Apple Ridge Express Train at El Dorado Orchards on weekends.
U- Pick Pumpkin Patch Opens every day From Oct 2nd & 3rd, thru Halloween.

November
This month, like September, is a very good time to visit as the large crowds are gone. The weather really turns to Fall conditions. Hot Apple Cider is a welcome sight to our customers. With the holidays just around the corner, you will find many ideas for that special gift.

On November 13 & 14, 2010, the Placer Pacers Volkssport Club, members of the American Volkssport Association (AVA), Boa Vista and El Dorado Orchards will sponsor and host the 26th annual Volkswalk.  This is a milestone for the Placer Pacers and Boa Vista.

This is a non competitive sport, walk at your own pace.  This is open to everyone; however, strollers and wheelchairs are not recommended, due to narrow roads and hills.
