Boa Vista Orchards

They are open 363 days a year, closed on Christmas and Thanksgiving. We have been frequenting this spot for over 25 years.During the Fall, they have kiddy tractor pulled rides and a pumpkin patch. In December, the Christmas tree farm opens for the month. They host special events throughout the year. Year round… they have a bakery selling fresh doughnuts, pies, and cobblers. They have a hard cider and beer tasting bar counter. They sell house made jams, jellies; frozen pies and pastries; fresh local fruits (lots of different kinds of apples) and vegetables. They even sell hot bbq. There is a specific ordering protocol for that though. The orders are taken and paid for at the bakery counter and you will be provided a receipt. You then take the receipt to give to the staff at the bbq grill. Most likely there is a line there, ask folks if they are waiting in line to give their order receipt to the bbq staff or waiting to pick up their food. The staff will take your receipt and call out orders as they are done. The tri tip is fantastic.

Nice shop in Apple Hill. I should have bought my apples here because they had honeycrisp and cheaper than the grocery stores. They had syrups, jams, and pies and baked goodies!Get the grilled brisket 🥪 sandwich with the maple bourbon sauce! And the blackberry turnover was filled with so much fruit!

It's not necessarily a quaint and cute farm, but more like, "get all you want and need" farm. We got pastries at their pastry store inside. They had a huge selection of pumpkins, fruit, honey and miscellaneous items. The only thing they really lacked on was apple and pumpkin bread. Couldn't find any.Overall, great quick visit for everything we wanted.Get here early to avoid the crowds.They had a sample booth, a handful of craft and food booths additionally.

All time favorite place to visit. Of course bear the crowd by going super early. You’ll thank me later. Small group of craft and small business handmade goods.

I love going here multiple times a year! Best Caramel Apples in California! Their pies and donuts are absolutely delicious. Their staff is always friendly and helpful. *Just know you can not bring your dog to this part of Apple Hill because it is a store.* It's very worth the drive to come. It's open 363 days of the year, so you do not have to wait for the right season!

Very nice market. Loved the samples. Half brisket sandwich was $8 and not really worth it. Still an excellent experience. Arrived on a Wednesday at 10 and there was ample parking.

Not a bad pit stop in the Apple Hill area. Was a day too early to visit the lavender fields in the region for "lavender days". Yet they had amazing lavender donuts that are absolutely worth the trip alone. Yummy lavender & blueberry pie. My first time specific at this orchard for any occasion. Been in the area before, but this orchard itself has soOoOoo much to offer year round- can't quite yet give them five stars until I experience more. I'm sure plenty of folks do think of them as five star. Great Farmer's Market vibes with excellent food and produce offered year round. Happy I poked my head in.. knowledgeable staff eventually told me about what to explore in the area for my liking. Great gift shop ideas, plenty of parking, handicap access & more made this a destination I plan on visiting again, my next days off from work. Missed their cherry days fest by one week. Nonetheless, definitely an orchard to consider when looking for harvest & seasonal exploration! Nice start to my summer.

Plenty of varieties of apples, some unusual, pears, and some vegetables. They also have good dressings, apple butters, pies, and cider. In addition, there are fresh cut Christmas trees to be bought. It is a farmers market, with some activities.

Such an unforgettable experience. I went with my cousins and we got the apple beer taster, the pomegranate one was sooo good! It was such a nice atmosphere and very kid friendly. The little market indoors was so charming and the brisket sandwich was to die for. 10/10 can't wait to go again.

This is like a Fall themed convenience store! From raw honey, to baking tools, groceries and even wine tasting this is an awesome place to visit! It also provides train ride for the kiddies

It's a gigantic carnival-like roadside stand for fruit, meat produce, etc. There's often a grill for meat, a bakery, freezers of pies, ice cream, multiple artisan booths, and anything else that can be profitably sold. In other words, it's a nice place to visit. On entertainment, there was little, but everything else worked. Recommended.

As usual we love this place! It's super busy in the fall. We just went on a Sunday in May and it wasn't busy at all. The apple donuts are always amazing! So is the apple cider!2022 Update: still great! Now they have a train. $5, a little expensive for the length of the ride and my kid still loved it. They had no hot apple cider which was interesting. Definitely would have thought they would have had that.

Great family fun.not as many venders this year. Cut your own tree is fun however very costly.

Went on a Sunday in October and it was packed, as expected. Had to have the aromatic BBQ beef brisket sandwich which was about $15 for a hoagie. They give it to ya hot then you can add their Wonder sauces like Apple Chipotle, which made it such an awesome experience. There were way too long of lines, but we waited to get a pear & blackberry cider and then the famous pumpkin ice cream stuffed in a sugar donut. Omg... To die for. No really... Be careful, it's like a heart attack food, so be sure to share it with someone. Lol.

Too much time on the line but its a really clean place. I saw one of the employees picking something from the floor. Pastry is great. Prices are reasonably and lost of variety!

A very nice stop. One of the better farm stands, I think. There is some food and drink to be had but we were more interested in trying an apple beer and berry wine. We were unable to get the attention of anyone to staff the bar but, in fairness, we gave up after about 10 minutes, so we didn't try super hard. This is the reason for only 4 stars. Otherwise good.

Love the vase variety of fruits! Delicious apple donuts - chunks of apples with the right amount of sweetness, cinnamon, brown sugar. Apple fritter was good but the peach dumpling was the highlight! Yellow peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon filling wrapped with a flaky pastry! Must have if it's in season!

As usual we love this place! It's super busy in the today, I am sure it’s worse during the weekend. The apple donuts are always amazing! But the prices are almost double compared to over a year ago.

Boa Vista is an Apple Hill staple. This is a great go to spot for local treats like fruit, nuts, honey, jams, jellies, dressings, and more. They have fresh and frozen pies in lots of different flavors, and it course the apple pie is amazing! They also have both regular and hard cider made there in the cider press. During some times of the year, local vendors set up booths out front and sell items like jewelry and soaps. Boa Vista also hosts many seasonal events, like the summer peachy days! I recently attended this event and got delicious peach donuts, ice cream, lemonade, and pie! They also have cider and beer tasting, which you can enjoy on the picnic tables overlooking the orchard. There is something for everyone at this timeless establishment.

Love this Apple Hill orchard, one of our go toos! They are always open. The weekends get busy, but there is plenty of parking. Usually have a food truck or BBQ on the weekends and always delicious. Today we ventured to the pumpkin patch and the train ride. Definitely stop by here. I've never tried their hard cider, as I'm always designated driver..lol. but the sweets are delicious as well as their regular apple cider.

Best apple cider and fresh pies available. The selection of pears and apples is very good. The El Dorado Pears are delicious

Boa Vista is great. I’ve been here a couple times and the market has good quality items from produce, meat, and speciality items. The food offerings here are really good and ample parking. It would be nice to have a few more options with the little shops but overall great experience for the family!

Our first time at Apple Hill and Boa was our favorite! The BBQ Polish dogs and hard apple ciders were delicious! They had a cute pumpkin patch that our toddler loved! We’ll definitely come back! We went on a Tuesday so the lines weren’t as long and we’d recommend coming during the week. One of the people who worked there said the lines can get so long that security has to close the line so get there before 4! They try to be done with the bbq around 5 or 5:30.

Boa Vista Orchards has a wonderful selection of everything!There are activities for kids, there is wine tasting and hard cider tasting areas to sit and eat, craft vendors, a sampling station, the bakery, barbecue, and a very large shop with all the produce. All the baked goods the jams, the jellies check the refrigerator cases for the apple cider. The wines, the cookies, the pies

If you're going for Mother's Day weekend, change plans. You will wait over 2 hours to get 1/2 of what they state on their Strawberry Festival ads. No Strawberry Pie. No Strawberry Cobbler. The Strawberry Sangria is almost a lie: its made from Blackberry Hard Cider and some imitation pink colored Strawberry syrup with a slice of strawberry in a 4-ounce plastic cup for $7.00 which is bad tasting. The Strawberry Fudge tastes bad, too. The worst part was biting into a Strawberry Dumpling and finding most of the strawberries had turned totten. Ugh! There is nothing special up there-just Boa's way to drum up business as cheaply as possible. I thought there would be something for the kids: face painting, Strawbeery Character, or SOMETHING. No! No more than a few Dollar tree strawberry signs. Too hot, not fun, and bad food. Not my way to spend this first great weekend of beautiful weather with family. Bad job, Boa. You failed!

Went on the cherry event because they always make the pictures look so good. Let me tell you no disappointment here the cherry donuts where amazing, the cherry, pomegranate and blackberry hard cider was amazing. We also had the prime rib sanwhich which was so really good. We went on a Saturday and had no issues finding parking. I was surpised to see that it wasnt really busy. I always enjoy the drive there and the scenery out there is always nice.

Such an amazing place. Always come here once or twice a year. So much a selection with foods and apple related products. The staffing is so amazing and there are long lines but with the people guiding the lines and the register checkers are quick and face. Everything is fresh and much amazing. The apple wine, apple beer, and apple hot sauce is where it is at. And a good family trip to do.

My hometown love right here. The hills of the mountains and valley colide into this gorgeous winery filled hillsides that intertwine with Christmas tree farms and orchards. Over the years brewing and wine making has exploded and it just keeps getting better. It never loses its sens of small town though, unless you go on a weekend because the bay area peeps come a hopin' ;).
