Love Creek Orchards, the biggest producer in the region, welcome guests all year round with a host of seasonal fun activities for individuals and groups alike.
This includes picking your own fruits – apples, blackberries, peaches, figs and persimmons, as well as the Great Hill Country Pumpkin patch every Saturday, Sunday and Monday in October. The patch’s 10-acre site hosts fun-filled activities for energetic kids and kids at heart including a hay bale maze, a barrel train, dress a scarecrow, petting zoo, and flatbed-trailer hayrides. You can also paint pumpkins, create a sand-art masterpiece, and ride a pony.
Be sure not to miss The Apple Store where they sell homemade treats like apple pies and breads, apple butters, apple ice cream, cookies, jellies, cider vinegar and more!
It’s also worth visiting the quaint Vine on the Rocks winery and vineyard which specializes in growing Tempranillo, Black Spanish, and Champanel. They have a comfortable wine tasting room and feature different Texas wines along with their own wine made on premises, as well as wines from other countries. They also offer finger foods and good music to make for a relaxing afternoon.
There’s also the Lone Star Motorcycle Museum located on 187, just four miles north of Vanderpool.
