Apple Barn Orchard & Winery

“The perfect place to visit in the fall from u-pick apples to free wine tasting to free tractor rides to live music to hot apple cider donuts! My friend and I visited on a Saturday morning. Parking is free and in a grass lot. There's a green space with picnic tables, lawn and table games, live music, food trucks, wine tasting, coffee truck, apple cider donuts, and a gift shop. The wine was interesting as it was made from a variety of apples and one was even made from blueberries. As other reviews mention, the apple cider donuts are delicious! They sell them in minimum 1/2 dozen quantities and do take credit card payment. The apple picking and tractor ride are across the street and they have a worker stationed to help you cross the street. It was fun to go through the orchard on the tractor and see all their different varieties of apples. The only thing we would have preferred was if they allowed the sale of single apples. As we were from out of town, we would have loved to buy one or two apples but their gift shop only sold in several pound bags.”

“Wow this place is amazing. U pick apples are currently $25 for a peck, $50 for half bushel. There were 4 or 5 different varieties of apples to pick. In the orchard, there is also a free tractor ride the kids loved. Once you cross the street back to the actual farm, there was free wine tasting, or you could buy a glass for $7-$10. There were very fresh apple cider donuts, $6 for a half dozen. There is a store to shop in, all kinds of additional food truck vendors, free games for kids to play, an old fire truck to climb, and picnic tables to sit and eat. We easily spent the morning here, and are definitely coming back next year. The orchard was also really well staffed. They had someone letting people in and out of the store, people directing traffic, and multiple people at the wine station. Even though it was really busy, it didn't take long for anything.”

“We went just for the apple cider donuts on our way from eagle, WI to lake Geneva. I wish we’d come for lunch but we arrived ten minutes before they closed. The donuts were easy to find, sold separately at a little kiosk outside by the half or dozen. They were worth stopping if only for the donuts! Warm and fresh even though they were about to close. Small sized so easy to sneak one in before dinner or have a couple. Light and fluffy with a small sprinkling of sugar. Not greasy, not rich, not too sweet. Utter fall perfection. The place had multiple food trucks, alcohol, picnic tables, etc. Families were having a great time with kids happily running around and adults chatting, listening to the guitarist singing in the background. Bucolic. Definitely worth going out of you way for this.”

“First time here. A friend told us about it, so we decided to drop in and check it out. It’s a charming spot, surrounded by beautiful fields of apple trees, heavy with this year’s crop. We spent most of our time browsing the gift shop and bakery. From the “Happy Camper” coffee trailer out front, we grabbed hot beverages along with a couple of delicious bakery items — a pumpkin cream muffin and a pumpkin scone. We took these to the enclosed patio out front and enjoyed them while listening to a musician playing guitar and singing. It made for a lovely afternoon. I would definitely return, and next time I’d make sure to try the wine tasting.”

“What a fantastic place to stop by and enjoy all that they have to offer. We met family there on a Sunday for some shopping, live music, and fun for the kids. We ended up picking pumpkins, apples, and buying apple cider and apple jam before we left. The band was fantastic, and the the apple cider donuts were to die for. We had a fantastic time there and all agreed to return again in the future.”

“Tried Apple Barn for the first time this June and best strawberries we’ve had in years. Warm strawberry donuts were great, too. Reasonable cost. Excellent safety precaution place during pandemic, including contactless pick up. Such nice people, too. Worth the drive. Highly recommended!”

“I love take my kids here to pick out the apples. I got 24 apple cider donuts, two gallons of Apple Cider juice, three different wines and many more! My kids and I spent about 3 1/2 hours there today. Definitely worth our Sunday trip!”

“DONUTS! Get em hot and fresh, crazy good melting on your mouth. Amazing apples as well. Cute store for gifts and special items, a must visit (and superior apples to another El Farmer nearby).”
