Great place to take the kids, have some fun and get some good food. Pies are all delicious. Donuts are great and they have a great selection of other foods. Make sure to visit the store for apples, salsa, wine and much more!There is a pond in which you can pay to fish from. Candle making and face painting activities. Also lots of people selling cool stuff they made themselves.We come here at least once a year and plan on doing so for many years to come.

Love this place! We go every year and just went again yesterday. Something for everyone, pandemic or not. I love shopping at the different artist booths, and they have the best tasting burgers you could ever imagine. Even though it’s popular they are organized with parking which is a nice plus.We’ve been taking our family here for years. Our daughter has moved to New York, and our oldest works full time so this year we only had the youngest two with us but I’ve included some other photos from through the years.

Apple hill, high hill ranch is literally the best place to go at Apple hill. The crumb donuts are ridiculously good, nice and moist but also sugar coated, and dipped in delicious crumbs. Dont even think about going, JUST GO!!

Weather was beautiful, very empty compared to previous covid. Still a beautiful way to spend afternoon

My family picked a Christmas tree next door that is cut fresh for you. Then we come here for hot chocolate and donuts and check out local vendors. This year there were few do to covid 19.

Lots of fun. Extremely crowned. Everyone did their best to respect social distancing. Wine was great Pie House had good prices and pies. Apple juice was nice and cold.Lots of options at the Fudge FactoryLove the caramel and fudge apple.The pony rides we not going but some people were fishing.It was a nice day out with the family and letting the kids breathe fresh air.

It was a pretty cool experience, kids had a good time... Even my dog had a blast. Only advice, get there early.. cars waiting line was over 1 mile long. The line do move at a steady pace though.

My husband and I have been to Apple Hill and High Hill Ranch at least 6 times this year lol. Its so beautiful and peaceful. We get there when they open and theres hardly anyone there. Hot fresh apple donuts, hot cider and peace and quiet its our happy place and we truly love supporting local businesses/farms everything is always top quality. A great place to Christmas shop for unique gifts. I highly recommend it

This was my first to here and to the Apple Hill region. Its a very beautiful area with multiple orchards and wineries. I recommend arriving early because this place gets packed by 10am, plus the whole area becomes high traffic. High hill ranch is super busy and there are lots of crowds. This is definitely a family oriented place and there were a lot of kids enjoying the day. The fishing pond is a nice touch and there were many fish being caught. There a nice variety of food and drink options as expected but the lines were long that day.

One of my favorite spots at Apple Hill. They have the most moist, delicious apple donuts! But I have to detract one star. We were enjoying their pond when the nice fishermen next to us were yelled at from across the pond by a worker who didn’t like that they were trying to catch and release without getting dirt on the fish, which they said was unhealthy. I understand there are rules that need to be followed, but the worker was very unprofessional, angry and rude. It made me uncomfortable and kind of turned me off from wanting to return.

Got a headstart on my Christmas shopping. A lot of vendors and majority of people shopping in close quarters were masked up. Ive already enjoyed coming here. Apples, caramel, cider, and butters were delicious

First time being there I plan on coming back again and buying a few things. Oh the candied apple choices they are good the fudge so many to choose from. There is plenty of places to get food and rest. If you havent been there you should go its worth the drive.

Great family fun in an outdoor setting. Craft vendors had some unique pieces.... and if course the store donuts were great!

Great place to stop through during the summer on your way to or back from Lake Tahoe. Fresh made pies whole or by the slice to take outside and eat or bring. There were a few vendors selling hand crafted items and a scenic pond to walk around.

Lots of things to do, but very crowded despite COVID-19. At least 1/2 of people outdoors were not wearing a mask. Indoors 1/5 people were not wearing a mask and it was shoulder to shoulder. We left as we did not feel comfortable. At least outdoors people could be as distant as they were comfortable. Under more normal circumstances it would have been great. Great for families but really anyone who likes fresh fruit and especially apples. As a side note there are several Christmas Tree farms in Apple Hill and one can pick, then cut their own tree down. Brings back memories from my childhood. We will definitely return in the coming years.

I was delighted to visit Apple Hill and I discovered the Champagne Cider was very refreshing crisp and delightful. Truly enjoyed my day there not crowded nearly everything was socially distance felt safe

Its a great place to go you can bring your dog. Many little shops if you want to get something and good food. I will definitely will be going back.

Very busy. Unfortunately they required masks inside the buildings. The food was delicious as always. The pond was busy. Lots of fish being caught. 4 stars instead of 5 due to ridiculous traffic control, mandatory masks and over crowding.

Great trip, but the hayride was closed. (Due to covid-19 i think)

Everything apples,...Cider, caramelized apples, apple wines and mead, doughnuts,...and of course every variety of apple. Wonderful place to stop for the whole family,... walk around and sample/purchase. Our regular stop off on the way to Tahoe.

We come here every year. Apple cider, apple pies, and donuts are amazing. But, they really need to remodel, especially the bathrooms! They need to expand the store and the dinning area. Everytime we are there, it is super super busy. They know that it will be busy yet they dont make any changes. The only change lately was the expansion of the parklot which has been nice.

We were in the area and decided to drive over it was just opening at 10am.Parking was confusing for the exit, Had us going back out same way we came in with oncoming traffic.The doughnuts were good love the apple fritter no food as in sandwiches chili hotdogs etc were ready at that time. It was nice to get out and walk around but, we bought a Dutch apple pie and I guess we didnt thaw it right because it was not very good. Sorry we wont go back

This is a must to stop by! Enjoyment for everyone in the family and dog friendly. Tried the Apple Beer, Apple donut and Apple Fritter Icecream sandwich, to die for!! The kids where able to make thier own candle. Was pretty busy but plenty of parking and easy to find.

A wonderful place to bring the family and enjoy the day. The food, desserts, and apple juice are all fantastic.

A fun experience with lots of great treats, between baked goods and a surprisingly delicious ice cream stand. Come for the apples, stay for the vendors and atmosphere. Although if youre planning on a Saturday, Id recommend coming early or late-- it can be crowded mid-afternoon.

Huge! On first glance you wouldve think this is a fairgrounds. Place was pretty packed but traffic moves and they have plenty of staff to direct you to parking spaces within their farm.Place has lots of events and things to do and you can easily spend up to half a day here. Lot of small arts and crafts place, and on the Saturday we went, there were musicians performing by the lake and people were just sitting there listening and soaking up the son. They have lot of food varieties, including fudge store, ice cream, taco, and tri-tip sandwiches etc.

A lot of things to do the BEST PIES ON THE HILL made with apples from their apple farm. (I live on carson rd see a lot of vendor trucks delivering 5gallen prepackaged apples from out of town to other apple farms) there appleFritters are very very addictive only try them if you have a lot of WILLPOWER,ha,ha. I have lived in camino for over 40 years(spending over 12 years traveling in the USA AND THE WORLD)Camino has the best water and air,hears the best part,only one or two stop signs and NO STOP LIGHTS. And a little bit of snow but isnt a good place for you to live only for you to visit HA,HA.

I can blow a whole paycheck here faster than I can blow my man. Its dangerously addictive. The caramel (not pronounced *car-Mel*) theres a difference, is the best anywhere!

Very fun place!! Great family environment, dogs are allowed on leashes. Lots of great food fun activities for everyone! Shopping galore vendors for days!! Small fishing pond and plenty of places to sit. There are many orchards to see!!

How terrific to be at a socially distanced craft fair. Picked up fudge and berry preserves as always. Such wonderful young people waiting on the folks. Its a bit slower everywhere because of the distancing, but so worth it!

Loved the vibe here, awesome warm Apple fritters, juice of course was great as well. Plenty of parking, friendly staff. A bit crowded for social distancing purposes, but people were good about masking when inside buildings and tents. Fishing looked great, saw plenty of good-sized fish getting caught, probably ten in an hour. Great way to introduce a reluctant family member to fishing. Bring a chair or lawn blanket if you want to hang out, limited seating is available.

Cute setting in a small nursery. The restaurant has good food and a variety of items. It does get busy on weekends, so reservations are recommended.

A great tasting gluten free pie!!! The fudge factory had amazing fudge and pies. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his apple donuts full of gluten as well. :) Everyone was very friendly and attentive. Thank you so much

Seemed like a nice place, but no social distancing or masks even on staff

Great stop for caramel apples and any other apple treat you can imagine with a beautiful view!

Beautiful place to take the family and enjoy great food, apple treats and get some shopping done.

Great for covid restriction as long as it is not crouded. Bomb apple fritters and the vendors are where I end up buying quite a bit of my gifts for the year.

Back in the day this was a peaceful place to pick up apples, donuts, cider and enjoy a day out. We went on a Monday mid-morning and it has become an absolute madhouse and way overpriced and certainly not a peaceful day in the country. We wont be going back, there are other smaller places that have stayed true to Apple Hill.

A beautiful fall day with good company who had not been here before. Bought a frozen unsweetened apple pie. 3 lbs. Wow!Watched kids catch lots of fish in the pond.A wonderful day at Apple Hill!!

This was a great place for the family. Food is good but eating before you go allows you to do more. Also, fun tip, if you catch a fish and dont want to keep it, just tell the guy to give it to someone and he will.

Nice place. A lot to see and do. Then fishing rules and prices are odd. Bring a picnic.

Lots of traffic and people driving like impatient idiots. I am aware there is nothing that can be done about that, but you need to prepare for it before you go. Apart from that, there are a tremendous number of places to visit, stalls where craftspeople have a multitude of fantastic trinkets for sale, and a fun family experience to be had by all. Had a truly wonderful time!

Too many people and no concern for covid. Good verity of apples and related.

Beautiful farm, very good prices and amazing food!! Please be aware that the social distancing is not the best here, very little direction or enforcement so be cautious.

It has become a tradition to bring the family to high hill ranch every year. The cider freeze and carmel apples were awsome! As well as the candy shop and fresh pressed apple juice. My little one loves to stop by the face painting booth.

Awesome place to go to enjoy with the family! Lots of activities, food and various venders selling an assortment of things. Beautiful area, people were friendly and polite. We had a good time, will be back for sure.

We enjoyed our visit. Customer service was good. The frozen apple pie baked at home was okay, but I will not purchase a frozen pie again if we visit in the future. Line for donuts was incredibly long right at opening. VERY busy. Busier than anticipated.

Great place for the family. Can fish or visit the many vendors there. Pick up some fudge from the fudge house and a frozen apple pie for baking at home. They also have wine tasting. A little pricy however.

Great for a weekday. Artists fair. Produce. Warm and cold drinks. Lots of outdoor seating, and even a fishing pond.

This place is a classic. Very fond memories of childhood at this place. A wonderful collection of various apple-based fares, artisan stands and a pond for fishing with the little ones. Strongly recommend trying the apple donuts while you are here. If youre looking for food as an experience, I would stop somewhere else before coming here, as the barbecue is mediocre.

No matter the challenges of 2020, its still Apple Hill Time. The usual apple goodies were perhaps more delicious because of the Pandemic. It was so good to get out in the open. And, every venue was safely respectful of the current threats. Grab your masks an hand sanitizers and escape to (masked) normality for an afternoon.

It was excellent for one reason alone: crowds were waaay down. It was actually enjoyable not being cheek by jowl with everyone, as it usually is. Obviously, there were a lot of the muh freedumbz crowd there but for the most part, people did the right thing.

We really enjoyed the wide open spaces and access to apples, pies, fudge, fritters, beer and wine all in one place!

The food smelt great however I have concerns about lack of any social distancing or face mask requirements. Staff werent even wearing masks.

High Hill is a nice location, touted as the largest most visited apple farm in Apple Hill, as such it is usually very busy, crowded with long lines, and higher prices. The price you pay for popularity. Although it is always an enjoyable time, weve made the decision to skip High Hill next time and concentrate on visiting some of other over 50 locations that make up Apple Hill.

I was disappointed yet happy with my visit. I go at least once before the rainy season. I knew not to expect sample apple juce (that was stopped a few years ago). But, I enjoy the baked goodies and the gallons of fresh apple juice I take home. Best of all are the sellers I totally enjoy them. There were not as many sellers as in pass years. (Now I have to Christmas shop on line.) I am sure it was due to the virus. There were only a few people without mask but, it was okay we were outside.

It was a string of nice enough farms however it was obvious that it was way overpopulated. Average of an hour wait for most things and poor signage left people scrambling. Some places were better than others. Apple based foods were excellent, however the carnival food was mediocre. Glad we went... But cant say Im in a rush to return.

It was an amazing experience, great fried chicken with macaroni salad. Also, the people are amazing and great. Good way to support the local people that are around us. Would recommend for everyone to visit.

The place is a super spreader filled with people who do not wear masks at all and no social distancing. Very high risk area and Im sure it wont be a hotspot soon and it shouldnt be that way this pandemic will be around for a long time because of people who are running that place they do nothing to ensure the rules are followed.

Wear your comfy shoes and clothes. Prepare to be filled with lots of yummy treats at every orchard.

Fun place to get away for a few hours. Shopping, eating, drinking, relaxing. Just one of the many places to visit at Apple Hill. If you havent been, be sure to try the apple donuts!

Same old place. This location is much better with friends and family.Open for most of the year and themed to each season. Its hard not to find something worth your time.Come one, come all. And bring your appetite. Its not just sight seeing.

Cant ever go wrong here. Close to the Freeway, beautiful sun sets. Good staff and just a beautiful place

Horrible. Traffic and parking is a nightmare. Waited 40 minutes to just park in the orchards. Everywhere had long lines. A small place with too many people. Very unorganized. Not much to do. This place is over rated. Dont waste your time here. Not worth the drive or the time.

5 stars because I liked it and it was my first time there.* some portable potties not clean* A lot of people not wearing mask lolsBut anyways loved the trip definitely coming back next year.

Really cool place, tons of great food and drinks. Cool pond for kids to fish. Go here pretty much every fall. My wife loves the apple donuts.

I love this place it’s fun and I love the arts & Crafts. I only gave it a 2 because we purchased 2 pies, a berry and Dutch apple, the pies were a throw away after one piece. I was very upset we really wanted good homemade pies. The berry had white crust? And the apple was soggy both under cooked and lacked taste the apple barn where we ordered the pies was complete chaos it seemed like they were running around yelling and the pies were just not good at all. The environment of this place is so fun we love the Farm thoughsorry

Probably the most popular place on apple hill. They have a lake for “fishing” (permit required), lots of good food and vendors, winery, and a big place for people to sit around or picnic. We went on a Wednesday and it was PACKED. Just a heads up.

Apple Hill/High Hill Ranch was fantastic. Numerous vendors and delicious home style dishes, and their apple donuts are famous in Placerville County. As Sacramento resident, I do like their apple donuts.

Family friendly festival like atmosphere with lots of vendors and booths selling food and art. Tons of people and lots of traffic coming in and leaving. By far the most crowded environment I’ve been in since COVID. At times people were very close to each other (less than a foot of space between people) and I’d say about 2/3 of people were not wearing masks as they walked around. With covid I’d be extra careful if I was older or had any health issues that might make me high risk

A big place to get all kinds of apple, fresh apple cider and also lunch. Quite busy place and spacious that you can social distance.

Very nice place(s). However there was a lot of people and many of them not wearing any mask. Even though they had signs to wear masks inside the stores people didnt seem to care much. It was not enforced by anyone working there. I didnt want to put myself at risk and left.

Great experience. Really wish they expanded the sales area. It started to snow and there wasnt much room to be under anything.

Love the drive up there, especially in this cold Hot cider is always delicious

A nice escape from the city. Get a breath of fresh air and enjoy what the place has to offer. Art, pastries, great apple beer and a pumpkin patch.

Parking is nice amongst the trees in the shade. There are a large number of pop up tent vendors selling a wide verity of crafts and wares. Food here is good but must say I was a little disappointed with the apple milkshake, there was not much apple flavor and the caramel due to the cold stuck to the sides of the cup.

Took kids here they had a blast and loved the stocked fishing pond as well. They caught their first fish with help of course lol but hey they were happy. The treats were delicious as well. Plan on going back again before the season is over

Nice place for some fall festivities. If you are super cautious of COVID, I would not recommend. It didnt seem like masks were enforced. But, nice outing overall. Good place for Instagram pics too.

Nice place with lots to see and do. Not super crowded. Feature apple fritter which is very good.

Everything was open and safety procedures were being enforced inside buildings so that was nice. They always have a great selection of treats for people of all tastes and thats probably what makes it so great. Always a fun place to visit.

Donut shop was out of all but 3 types of donuts. However, its one of the only stops open on weekdays. Lots of craft booths and good place to get lunch

Come early, before 12.Park in the orchard.Wear comfortable footwear.Bring the dog.Order the apple shake.Take home a Dutch Caramel Apple Pie.

Fun to walk around, and see all the homemade crafts but everything is a little overpriced. Definitely recommend to go during the week to avoid craziness!

I have been coming here for about 15 years now and bring my grandkids just like I used to bring my kids there is something for everyone to enjoy here. My favorite spot is the fudge factory cant go home without fudge and a apple pie !!! The kids also love the caramel apples

Such a fun and popular place to visit during the fall. Highly recommend you go early morning or later afternoon.

I have been going here since I was born. The staff is always happy to help you and the people who visit are happy. Love the craft stands. This is always my go to for pies, and my mom loves their caramel apples.

We always make a stop at High Hill when in the area. Love the atmosphere of this place! Its so busy this time of year but still fun!

Always a good time! Busy. Lots of people and parking is wild but we had a blast.

Always on our list for Apple Hill stop. We take the family every year and are never disappointed.

Off season visit was fun, they have the best craft artisans there compared to the other apple ranches we visited. There is a yarn artist that is notable there.

Great place for a day trip. Dont leave without buying the apple donuts. Also visit the vendor with unique gifts and items.

A wonderful family destination! Caramel apples, apple fritters, picnic tables, lovely and useful crafts and the kids favorite, fishing in the scenic pond! And, oh yeah, delicious apples! We go atleast once every apple season.....

One of my favorite places to visit while in Apple Hill. I always go to the Fudge Factory and get their carmel apple wedges.Recently I discovered the Pie House and this place has great tasting pies.The main attraction for me is walking around and seeing all the vendors and artists. I recently saw that it looks like you may be able to explore the farm. Next time its on my list to check out and see if thats something they offer.

They have craft vendors out now. Lots of fruit to buy. They have spread tables around the property for lunch.

The food was excellent. It was a tad pricey but the quality is there. We had the kobe burger and tritip sandwich. There is just about everything you could want there for an apple hill visit. One stop shop!!! Pecan pie is the best!!

A relaxing place to stop and have a meal, take a stroll through an Orchard and sit by a pond. Have some fudge, make your own custom candle or buy some fresh fruit.Apple Hill High Ranch is an excellent addition to your Apple Hill Itinerary.

Super awesome place to visit. I went with my family as a child and now that I have a family of my own we go too. I recommend high hill to anyone who wants to visit the apple hill area.

Great place to go as a family and bring your kids. They have amazing apple donuts, apple fritters, pies, shakes and more! Soo good.

Up at High Hill 9/15/2020. They do not enforce masks in crowded closed spaces. Only two workers in the kitchen wore masks the right way. One guy wore his mask on his chin while making and serving food. I go here every year. I wont be going back.

Beautiful day. Perfect autumn weather. Friendly people. Happy happy happy. Highly recommend
