Apple Barn Orchard & Winery

Saw a flyer for this place in our local newspaper, and thought I would check it out. Christmas was in the air. Homegrown apples, homemade pies, candy, cheeses, sausage, etc. This happened to be the Christmas time of year, so a lot of stocking stuffers and quaint gifts were available for purchase. Gift boxes available to. Wine samples on premises. Not only does Apple Barn orchard have apples, but they also make their own wine. Many varieties of delicious wines to choose from. They also have wine tasting on premise. Everyone was very cordial and Holiday spirited if you're in the area, especially on weekends, stop in and check it out. Plenty of free parking.

Very cute orchard! The store line gets long but goes by fairly quickly. I loved the live music and apple cider donuts (warm!) too. The wine tasting was for their fruit wine, which is a little too sweet for me. The orchard and pumpkin patch itself were across the street from the seating area - we walked around but chose not to actually pick the apples that day.

There are a few sizable apple orchards for fall apple-picking tourism in southern Wisconsin. Apple Barn is my favorite.Unlike another popular orchard, It's not right off I-94, which makes it a little less convenient, but it also makes it much more scenic and much less busy. When you're there, you'll really feel like you got away somewhere on a mini-vacation.Yes, it gets busy in peak season, but not crazy busy. And it's easy enough to find. Parking is available in a vast field, and it's pretty straightforward.Bathrooms are a row of port-a-potties and handwashing stations. They're cleaner than you think, but obviously, using them earlier in the day is going to be better.The orchards are well maintained, and you can check their website or social media for updates about what's available for picking. Pumpkins weren't ready last week, but it looks like soon. When we were there last weekend, the Cortland apples were our favorite. Be aware that everyone wants honeycrisp, and they're in a separate section of the orchard that costs more.If you don't feel like picking, they have a designated (cold!) room inside the store with bags of pre-picked apples. We always pick some and buy a couple bags.We are swimming in apples right now.They make and sell a variety of wines, and we usually get a bottle or two. The hardy pear wine goes great with a Thanksgiving turkey. See what you like at the wine tasting station. The staff is friendly, and surprisingly, this year, we didn't think any of the wines were too sweet. Over the past ten years or so, I'd say they have upped their wine game considerably.If you want to get lunch, there are food trucks there and a bunch of picnic tables. Or you can bring your own. Or check out a few pretty good restaurants in Elkhorn. If your kids want to play, they have a big old truck that appears to be intended for that. Or at least it's fair game. Buy all the apple butter, scented candles, pastries, tea towels with clever sayings, and cider you can carry in their crafty little store. And you'd have to be insane not to pick up a few cider doughnuts, fresh and warm from the fryer. I mean this. Do not drive all the way to Sugar Creek, Wisconsin, and not get those apple cider doughnuts. There's a ton going on during the fall weekends, and it all has a very local, very friendly vibe.Put on your cozy sweater, track down your grandma's apple pie recipe, and get out there for the most autumnal small-town style Saturday you could want.

Super fantastic place that is an annual tradition for us. Great apples Great donutsGreat storeFriendly peopleLove it.

Loved this place! We went strawberry picking and it did not disappoint. Great for kids of all ages. The berries were awesome and deliciously red! Staff was friendly. Cute little store that sells wine and lots of knick knacks. The strawberry glazed donuts were to die for! Fresh out of the kitchen and warm! Highly recommend stopping by! Will for sure be back for apple picking!

Love the hot and fresh donuts at Apple Barn Orchard and Winery. It's a must stop for us when we visit Lake Geneva or Lake Delavan. It's a family farm that has spent four generations getting things right. Wine tastings are outside these days. It's a cute setup and someone will come to you to take your order. Wines are sweeter but not all of them. Prices are more than reasonable if you want to purchase a bottle to take home. Staff is helpful.

A great apple orchard with lots to offer for both families and young professionals. There's apple cider, apple cider donuts, wine tasting, a couple pop up boutiques, roaring food trucks, and a variety of apples to choose from! I visited the Apple Barn with co-workers around 9am on a Saturday where the grounds were already alive with people. The line for wine tasting was short so we decided to go for it. Each person got three free tastings. They have a variety of fruity wines that cover everything from dry to sweet and red to white. The spiced rhubarb wine was my personal favorite! It seems to be a popular one as they only had one bottle left when we went. In terms of food, of course we got the apple cider donuts which were absolutely delicious! They were light and fluffy (which are personally my favorite kind of donut) and you could taste the apple cider. Would definitely recommend, don't get discouraged by the long line it moves fast!Apple picking itself was a lot of fun! We opted for Honeycrisp apples which had their own little section. The ripe rows are clearly indicated and the apples we picked were sweet and crisp! The rows weren't crowded and there were plenty of apples to be picked. If you're in the area the Apple Barn is well worth a visit :)

What a sweet apple orchard experience. Great little shop, fantastically nice people, live music, wine tastings, food trucks, stuff for kids to climb on, other misc vendors, and of course, APPLE PICKING! A wonderful way to spend a few hours on a nice fall afternoon.

Well organized. The kids enjoyed the kids play zone. Food was not over priced. Gift shop onsite.

Apple Barn is the perfect place to go with family! Great atmosphere for fall activities, reasonable prices, and a great apple picking experience!
