Autumn is a beautiful time to be in Orange County! Make some time in your busy schedule to come soak up the crisp air, enjoy the apple orchards, and explore our lovely landscape. One of the most fun activities to do as a family or as a couple is apple and pumpkin picking, and Orange County is full of beautiful orchards offering U-Pick options. Applewood Orchards in Warwick has roadside and U-Pick apples and pumpkins beside their charming 18^th-century farm house – spend a day there and enjoy an herb or rose garden lecture, farm animals, or take a trip on their wagon rides. Manza Family Farm in Montgomery has U-Pick pumpkins alongside their craft store, hay maze, and farm animals. If apple or pumpkin picking isn’t quite your style, visit an Orange County farm and enjoy their farm stands or a day in a winery. Jones Farm & Country Store in Cornwall offers seasonal homegrown produce, baked goods, and even an operating beehive. Brotherhood Winery has been the heart of Washingtonville since 1839 and offers tours of the largest underground wine cellars in the country. For a fun day of outdoor adventures, consider a horseback ride or a hike through our stunning natural landscape. Schunemunk Shadow Stables in New Windsor boasts an 85-acre riding facility with access to hundreds of trails.  On foot, do a part of the Appalachian Trail, which was founded here in Orange County in 1923. Bear Mountain Wildlife Center is a great chunk of the trail to do over an autumn afternoon. Farms and orchards, wineries, outdoor trails – there is no shortage of ways to spend a lovely weekend this fall in Orange County. Whatever your style or pace, we are happy to host you and look forward to welcoming you to Orange County this fall!
