Guests hungry for an agri-tourism adventure can enjoy the expanded days and hours offered through the mobile Sierra Oro Farm & Wine Pass, and passholders will unlock exclusive discounts and specials at each stop along the way. The month-long harvest celebration offers one-of-a-kind experiences where visitors stroll through farms to pick fresh apples from the tree or pumpkins from the vines, sample artisan olive oils, specialty nuts and award-winning wines, all while getting to know the dedicated farmers and winemakers. A few suggested highlights include planning a visit to Book Family Farm that will have a scarecrow-building contest on the first weekend in October (with the scarecrows on display the rest of the month), various farms and wineries will offer live music entertainment for visitors, plus there will even be a beer-tasting of brew made with local almonds at Maisie Jane’s. But that’s not all.To maximize the experience, visitors are encouraged to pre-plan their trip and map out a multi-day itinerary of the farms and wineries plus possibly incorporating hiking, biking, floating, fishing, birding and more throughout the region.
