​I recently visited Applewood Winery, and it was such an uplifting place to spend the day. Tasting a variety of wines while looking out at the refreshing, scenic view of the lake immediately put me in a great mood. ​The best part of the experience was definitely the staff. Every single person was incredibly warm, kind, and friendly—I’d give them the highest marks possible for their top-notch service. It made the entire tasting feel so welcoming and comfortable. We only stopped by for the wine this time, but the vibe was so good that I definitely want to try their food menu next time. ​The only caveat is the flavor profile of the wine. Overall, their selection leans quite sweet. If you are someone who strictly prefers dry wines, it might not be entirely to your taste. ​While the sweetness of the wine might be a matter of personal preference, the beautiful landscape and exceptional hospitality make this winery highly recommended for a relaxing getaway!

Applewood Winery is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the rustic barn atmosphere made us feel right at home. We did a wine flight using their signature tower holders — such a fun and unique way to taste through their selection. The whites were crisp and refreshing, and the reds were bold and beautifully balanced. We paired our tasting with the charcuterie board, which was god but portions were small and meats were cheap grocery type . Cheese was great though. The staff (Rich) was knowledgeable and friendly and nice to chat with. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just looking for a relaxing afternoon out, Applewood delivers on every level. Highly recommend — we'll definitely be back!

We have stopped in for a glass of wine each year during our fall pilgrimage to Orange County. The view is spectacular and the small plate offerings are great. You can sit inside or outside and the location has plenty of parking. The wines are very drinkable as are the ciders. It's definitely worth the trip

Wonderful orchard! Gorgeous views, plenty of open space, and tasty food and drinks. The food was excellent and perfect winery fare - yummy elote and pepperoni pizzas, generous charcuterie boards, hummus and more. Apple pie slushie was delicious. Highly enjoyed the wine tastings as well. Will certainly be back! Would love to have a birthday party here. Friendly service! Thanks so much

Great experience, music and food, a great find me and my husband found today. We did a wine tasting flight very good. Also tried the Sauvignon Blanc as well, was my favorite. They had a bbq food truck and brick oven pizzas as well. The food and wine prices were very reasonable. We had the Bavarian pretzel so good it was large. We will be back soon.
