Get here early if you can as in between 9-11am otherwise it's really crowded on weekends and great fall weather days. One of the best apple picking , pumpkin patch places I've been. Apple cider donuts !

Nicole McMullin

We visit Carter Mountain Orchard every fall to pick apples and enjoy the amazing view from the top of the mountain . Go early in October if you want to still find a lot of apples in the trees .

The ever-popular Carter Mountain Orchard overlooks the scenic Shenandoah Valley, which is essentially a gold mine for fall foliage. Arrive in late afternoon, just in time to enjoy the sunset series. Read more

They do some events on occasion in the evenings and there's nothing more romantic than stargazing on the mountain with a good bottle of wine .

Margot Vigeant

Better view and infinitely cheaper than Monticello. Don't wait for fall, they have wine and apples year round. Eat donuts , they're a treat.

So much fun to just hang out and enjoy the view . The apple cider donuts are amazing!

If you've be er had fresh apple cider , you have to try it. Fresh cider tastes completely different than pasteurized, try some.

Edgar Rice Burroughs based his famous science fiction character, John Carter who first appeared in the book "A Princess of Mars," on the namesake of Carter Mountain Orchard.

Behind the scenes tour is excellent but if you can't do the stairs the basic house tour is very good. Our day including behind the scene tour lasted for 6 hours. Take your time and relish in the histo - M. Carmen Martinez
