Gotta come back.
I've sporadically been back in Oak Glen for years, but Snow-Line Orchard made the most recent visit a gem.
We came by during a weekday to avoid most of the crowds. Unfortunately, it also meant that most of the shops are closed, but Snow-Line Orchard was open! It was actually our first stop of the day, and it was a lovely way to start our trip.
We were able to park in their parking lot with plenty of spaces everywhere. Please read the sign to not park underneath that one apple tree. Your car will be dinged by the apples/branches/sticks and any other debris that decide to come down.
Inside the building, they do have a good-sized shop with things you didn't know you needed. Lots of unique, seasonal decorations, but there was also some cute knick-knacks/gifts and stickers/magnets. If you go further back, you'll hit their cider tasting area, the wine area, and their own jarred goods, such as pickled quail eggs, jellys/jams/preserves, sauerkraut/pickles, etc. We (and, by "we", I mean "I") definitely got the sauerkraut, a jam/jelly, two bottles of wine (GET THE WINE, IT'S SO GOOOOOOD), and a few other fun items.
There was no register open, but we were able to stand in line for donuts, order donuts, and asked where we could pay for the merchandise; thankfully, they would be able to ring us up in that same donut checkout line! Paid for everything, got our order of donuts, and happily munched on the donuts in our car. Do yourself a favor and absolutely eat those donuts fresh! They are delicious and probably wouldn't last long depending on the size of your party and how many you purchased, but it's something that probably will never be as good when cold. I love that Snow-Line Orchard generously sugared ours; absolutely delicious.
I haven't opened the jars, but I went through one of the wine bottles so fast that the hubby commented on it, lol. It was one of their branded white wines, and tasted like apples. I need to get more...
Service was wonderful. Didn't have any issues with the visit, and it looked like everyone had the same idea as us and definitely made a beeline towards the freshly made donuts. It was made fresh in front of you! Ugh, I'm drooling just thinking about it.
