Fall Colors. Fast Cars. Apple Hill Traditions.
It's time for one of our favorite fall traditions!
We're heading back to Apple Hill for our third annual cruise, and this year we're adding a little friendly competition to the mix!
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it's the perfect opportunity to enjoy a beautiful drive through the Sierra foothills, spend time with fellow V-Series enthusiasts, indulge in some delicious apple treats, and stock up on those Thanksgiving pies.
We've planned four great stops along the way, including coffee and pastries, fresh apple cider donuts, lunch, and the famous Walkin' Pie!
And for those feeling lucky, we're turning this year's cruise into a five-card poker run!
