Hilltop Orchards in Richmond, Massachusetts

Today we drove around the area and all the small towns which included: Lee, Pittsfield, Lenox, Springfield and our final destination was the Hilltop Orchards.  Here they have wine tasting and you can pick your own apples.  It was pretty chilly out and we quickly made out way to the fresh baked cider donuts and hot apple cider.  This was so delicious!   Yummmmm!

This reminded us of the visit to Vicki & Bill’s home in Michigan with our great friends, George and Janet Lambe a few years ago.  We visited an apple orchard there and it was our first experience taking this fresh apple cider and donuts.

Great memories.

As we parked behind the building, they had all these crates of apples.  Our thought was “Why go out and pick your own when they have all these here”.  HaHa

We walk up to the front of the building and they  are baking the donuts!  This display is neat of all the New England Apples!

Look at Manuel checking out the Candy Apples.  I know he is thinking of me as he knows I love candy apples.  He does not care for them.   Yes, he bought me a couple.    We also bought donuts.  They were delicious!!!  Wish I had some right now!

Tummies are full!  Time to sit back and relax.  They had a fireplace inside and it was warm in there but the wine tasting area was packed with tasters so we just came outside.

Our tummies are full and we have stock with us so we head back home.  What a wonderful time we had!

The back road going home were neat.  Beautiful country side.  Fall colors are beautiful, too.
