A wonderful place to spend two hours, it is located approximately one hour from the house. The apple donuts are quite possibly the best in the country! They have won many awards. You can walk around and pick your own apples or just pick some up to go! The views of the valley are very good from here. There is also a winery and a cider pub on site, as well as a food truck or two on most weekends. You can sit at the picnic tables on the hill sipping wine and having a picnic with a view. Delicious jellies, honey, and other locally made goods can be purchased in the gift shop. The blackberry jam from Rocky Branch Farm is my favorite! If you decide to go, I would recommend making a reservation, as it gets rather crowded.

Ice cream

Seriously, my favorite ice cream in the world! The milk is sourced from local dairy farmers, and you can really tell. There is also a Moo Thru in downtown Charlottesville, but this one is convenient and a nice stop after about one hour of driving, especially on a hot day -- or any day!

If you have some extra time and want to stop by for lunch or dinner about halfway down the road or on the way home in Madison, I cannot recommend this place enough. The food is delicious and the servings ample. You choose your main dish and the group gets to decide on three or four side dishes, which are served to your heart's content! The beer and wine selection is excellent, the homemade bread is delicious, and the desserts are delectable. The Austrian Sachertorte is a perfect way to finish off a hearty meal.
