Here in Virginia, we take our apple products pretty seriously. Considering we’re home to the Apple Capital of the World and droves of family-run fruit orchards, this may come as no surprise. In fact, there’s an entire festival dedicated not just to apples, but all the delicious by-products of this incredible fruit. Most Virginians swear by these delicious seasonal treats and if you’re looking to get into the fall spirit, this festival is the perfect opportunity.

Tucked away in the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains awaits Drumheller's Orchard, a fruit orchard that makes for a memorable visit any time of year.
