We visited in early October. Last year we visited and they were closed since the apple season was over so this time I called to ask if they were still open for apple picking. They said yes and there are still apples on the trees. Which was not really true, we left with 10 tiny apples, 3 of which were from another family that had given up. We walked all sections of the orchard, most apples were on the ground and rotting. I am disappointed that they told me apples were available. They should have said they were open for their small store but not apple picking. We were excited to go and after we discovered almost no apples on the tree I realized I didnt see people leaving with bags and bags of apples. Most were leaving empty handed. The owners are nice, I want to give them business, it seems like they are about to go out of business since things are run down and they only accept cash. I also like how they give kids a apple for their thumb. But please dont stay open for apple picking if there are no apples to pick. We walked around for probably an hour or more set on finding a tree that still had apples available. read more

This place was a lot of fun for the family!! I brought mine to Apple Hill to pick apples but the original spot that we wanted to visit was either very hard to find or didn't exist anymore. This was on our list to visit so we ended up going here instead, and I'm so glad we did! The owners were very friendly and accommodating. They handed us a map of where to pick apples and where the different types are located, then they pretty much told us to go crazy with picking apples. There weren't many ripe apples at the time we visited, but we still had a wonderful time being there to experience apple picking. The place feels rustic and huge with many apple tree variations to choose from, however, most of the trees were still young so there weren't a lot of shade for adults to hide under. So make sure you wear sunscreen and hats for protection during the day. read more

I haven't been to Apple Hill in over a decade and didn't know how big it was until this last visit. We intentionally made a day of it so we started at High Hill and went to various spots based on recommendations. Denver Dan was on our list as we were told that had the best crisps there, so we stopped by about midway through our visit. We were the only people there at Denver Dan's when we stopped in and were greeted by the gentleman working there. We looked around at everything for a bit and eventually made our way back to the refrigerated area. Where the apples pies and crisps were located, and eventually decided to get a small blackberry& apple crisp...which was AMAZING!!! We were bummed that we didn't get the larger one but it just gives us a reason to go back soon, lol. Before leaving we talked to the guy working there about the farm and various apples there, and we left us pick out a couple apples for free for each of us. And we offered to core and peel them for us, which turned the apples into this delicious accordion/slinky type of product. OVERALL: Definitely one of the smaller games as far as what people may come here for. But staff here was very friendly and the crisps here are a MUST try! Definitely coming back again. read more

My favorite location we visited on Apple Hill! There were over 30 types of apples grown on the trees for u-pick, and the apples were priced pretty well at $2/lb. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, showing us the map and inviting us to take a picture of it to know which apple trees we were looking at, and welcoming us to taste the different kinds of apples as we went so we knew what we'd wanted to take home too. We loved trying apples we'd never heard of such as the Winter Banana (which did taste like banana!) and King David. It seems like some other features Denver Dan's used to have (like a bakery and apple peeling) are no longer available, or at least were closed when I visited this past month. read more

We didn't end up getting anything here, the person working there was really nice, but he was out of everything, including a baker! We liked what we did see enough to go back again next time, but we were sad to miss out. read more

This was an amazing Apple Picking location! Out of all the locations that we went to this location was absolutely the best! They had a wide variety of apples and they encouraged you to try the different types. This allowed us to to fully figure out which apples we liked and also encouraged us to pick more apples. We walked around the whole farm trying the different apples and taking 10x more back home! The owners were very nice and gave us water on an extremely hot day. I would 100% recommend this place if you are visiting!! read more

I wish I could give them a higher score. Nothing like 2 years in a row to be disappointed. We signed the waivers and gathered our supplies. Moving out to the end of the orchard there were no apples! If there were apples, they all had holes in them. It was sad and dreams were broken . We did enjoy the tasty treats and cider. The employees were super friendly. Shout out to the dude heating up pie! If you drive up and see barren trees on the way in,just go straight in the store. read more

This was my favorite farm in Apple Hill by far. The staff is very nice and helpful. They have some 30+ varieties of apples here and they encourage tasting as you pick. They currently don't have a bakery section, but seems like they will again soon. I definitely would come back to try more of their varieties and baled goods. read more

We went apple picking and had our dogs it was a great experience, very low key and relaxing. Simple enough. You get a bucket pick your apple then they weigh them and you pay. $2.50/lb. I wish they had cider too and usually they have pies, but they were out. read more

This place was so much fun with many different apple tree options to pick from. Make sure when you arrive you take a picture of the map of where you can find each apple that you like. We got the please of actually meeting Dan upon our arrival. With U-pick places declining this place has always been the top of the list. Yes a bucket of apples cost about 22 dollars but it's more about the experience. They welcome tasting of the apples while you are about and if you do not like it just toss it on the ground. I got to try new apples that I haven't before like winter banana. There are many great photo opportunities including looking over a little lake. They are kid friendly as well. Inside the building they have pies and James and apple butter and many items you can buy and try out. They have some already picked out apples as well just in case. Loved coming here and glad we were able to come and make the stop. read more

This place is an apple hill mainstay. The people who own it are so very nice and know so much about apples and they are willing to share that knowledge with other people. They gave me some great advice about my apple trees. I really appreciated it. read more

Our crew was greeted by Dale, who was so nice and accommodating! We loved him. Apple picking was really easy and wasn't as expensive as some of the other places. We bought the applesauce which was AMAZING, and i really enjoyed the no sugar added apple butter, tasted super natural while still great. I can't wait to come back to try the pasteries read more

Our favorite place to go for u-pick apples at apple hill. We missed the pony ride this year and was informed by the owner that they lost the insurer as they moved out of state and they cannot find anyone to ensure them. It's such a fun thing for the kids to do. Apples are on point this year... a huge selection of a ton of varieties. We love the apple thumb that each kid gets as you start your apple picking journey. So much fun and great memories for all. Can't wait to come back next season. read more

What an great find! We have been going to the Apple Hill area for many years, and I have no idea how we missed Denver Dan's. We had made our obligatory visit to some of the more popular apple locations, and while standing in a very long line at one location, a super cool dude asked what sumptuous item we were in line for, and he immediately suggested that if pie was something that we were after, Denver Dan's was THE place to go. Feeling adventurous and hoping to avoid anymore lengthly lines, we took what turned out to be a fairly short drive to Camino. The drive was picturesque, and I couldnt believe what I've been missing out on all of these years! Some of the other apple picking, food serving places along the way were either closed or visibly crowded. I was excited to arrive at Dan's and discover plenty of open parking, a small picnic area, and not a lot of people. *SCORE* We had apparently just missed the crowd, and secretly hoped that there would still be plenty of a selection. Who knew that we'd find truly one of the BEST pie places in the area. The place is isn't very big, but it is filled with so many goodies!! I'm not a pie girl, but I'm pretty sure that Denver Dan's has converted me. Walking in was like walking into grandma's kitchen. You can watch where the pie creations are made, and there is an adjacent window where you can purchase freshly baked goodness. Anything from a larger than life apple pie, to delectable chicken pasties. What's really THE find... not all of the pies are apple. Say what?? thats right!! They make a variety of berry pies (some mixed with apples) sour cream pies, cobblers, and other desserts. We opted to purchase some pies from the freezer section, (take and bake) and asked how long they would keep in the freezer ( I was pre-planning for the impending holiday season) and was told that the frozen desserts would last at least six months, like they'd last that long! We opted for the strawberry- rhubarb, a huge dutch apple crumb pie, and a sour cream apple blackberry pie. We already knew that one wouldnt make it to the freezer at home. The pies come with no brainer baking instructions, and an hour or so later, your home smells like youve been baking all day. We baked the strawberry rhubarb, and I stealthy hid the others in the freezer. The pie was filled with big pieces of flavorful fruit, and the flavor did not disappoint. I wasn't a fan of the crust. It was dry and wasn't the buttery flaky crust i had hoped for. Dan's also sells jams, jellies, chunky applesauce, and the old fashioned extra-large dill pickles at the counter. They dont skimp on ingredients, and its reflective in their pricing. Add Dan's to your must go to places when visiting Apple Hill. The staff was super friendly, and worth the extra few minutes of drive time from the regular locations. read more

Rainbow Orchards was too busy so we drove down the road and found this place. It was less popular but still had pies and strudel for sale. There was also a guy about to do an apple peeler demo? It's dark inside and could be revamped a bit for marketing appeal. Otherwise, there is a dirt road parking lot and you can walk around the orchard area. read more

I've been here twice -- once earlier this fall, and once 4 years ago. I haven't been thrilled either time. This year, we didn't plan to come, but we had trouble finding a U-Pick place that was open on a Friday in late September. I hadn't picked apples here before but remembered they have a huge orchard and stopped by as our back up plan. It was hard to social distance in the crowded parking "lot" (dust bowl) and entrance area, and it wasn't at all clear where to go for apple picking. I asked the lady at a counter, but apparently that was where you buy the apples after you pick them, and she wasn't terribly friendly when she told me to talk to the guy near the door. She acted like I should have known I was in the wrong place. The man at the entrance had me sign a waiver and showed me the buckets to use and a picture/map with all the apple varieties. I asked where should we go, and he said only two varieties weren't ripe, all the others were lots of beautiful apples. Well, we hiked through all the dusty hills of trees for a long time, and most of the trees had zero apples. Literally zero. The orchard is very hilly, without clear paths and no signage. I couldn't match up my IPhone pic of their map with any of the trees (there weren't clear separations and definitely no labels), and I was surprised that there were no apples on most of the trees after the man had said there were lots of beautiful apples. I kept looking for those beautiful apples, going further and further back, higher and higher into the hills on either side of the road. When we did find trees with apples, the apples were very small and filled with worm holes and bird pecks. We started asking other guests we passed if they had found any apples, because everyone seemed to be wandering around in the heat looking for where the apples were. After covering the entire huge orchard, we finally found a few trees with apples we could pick. After getting home and using them, we have found that most either had worms or rot in them or were unripe. If they don't have apples to pick, they should be upfront about it. Other U-Pick places I've been to have always guided us of where to go in the orchard to find the apples (or cherries, or other fruit), and we've never had a problem like this. We were awfully disappointed when we finished. There is also no good way to socially distance while you are waiting to pay, as everyone is clustering around to either pay or sign up for U-Pick, and there's not enough room or good enough markings of where to be. When I came here 4 years ago, we just went in the store. We had a nice time, and a lady let my son peel an apple and eat it. We bought pies and jam. Later when we ate the pies and jam, we realized they weren't good at all. The jam tasted like mostly corn syrup, which sure enough, was on the ingredient list. The pies just weren't good at all. I wanted to like this place, but we won't come back. I'd give one star, but I gave 2 because they were nice the first time we visited. read more

What a sad, tired placed. Now when we came they could have said "well, the apples are almost completely picked out, but if you search hard you might find one or two". But no, they just showed us the map showing 20+ varieties of apple and sent us on our way. The trees are chopped short, set up for U-Pick, but they don't keep people away from the trees that are not ripe/not ready, so... pretty much you can expect to get either nothing or unripe apples here. The store was a study in lack of social distancing. Sad. read more

5th stop in Apple Hill area, I liked the farm. Many farm animals for the kids to feed - not sure how much for the food. Pony rides for the kids. Inside the gift shop a guy peeled, cored, sliced the apples with those simple machines you can buy for $30. Then he'll stick it on your finger so you can eat it FREE! I liked that, wish they gave a napkin though. I bought some Pomegranate Jelly and Pomegranate Jam. Charged it. There's a bakeshop to buy ready to eat stuff and frozen pies too. Porta potties available. read more

Denver Dan's is one of the apple farms that always seems to be on my list of stops every year when I visit the Apple Hill area. Their assortment of jams, jellies, and syrups is impressive! They hagive out samples so that you can taste and see which ones you want to take home or give as gifts for the holidays. They also have U-Pick apples so you wander around an orchard and pick specific varieties of apples to try. There's usually some alpacas and llamas in an enclosure out by the parking area to greet you as you arrive. read more

Denver Dan's is one of the few U-Pick locations left in apple hill! My family and I travel 2.5 hours every fall to come pick apples and enjoy the area. We have always driven by Denver Dan's but never stopped by because we thought it was on the smaller side. We were wrong. Denver Dan's is huge! I mean there are over 30 apple varieties to pick from! You will find beloved apples and new kinds too! We discovered an apple variety called Winter Banana which might just be our new favorite! Its a yellow apple with pink freckles. So unique! And yes is slightly tastes like banana. One thing that I really loved was that we were greeted by Denver Dan himself! I mean you can't get any more mom and pop than that! Denver Dan's is now our go to U-Pick and we can't wait until next year to come back! read more

This is the BEST place at apple hill no frills or gimmicks just good quality food and products. I was bummed this year they were hit hard by the employee walk outs the country is facing. They were unable to get their signature jams and apple butters made this year but the owners were willing to try and get some preserves made before our next visit. The pumpkin loaf is and apple crisp are the best I've ever eaten. This has been a hidden gem for us for years and decades for my wife's family. Every year we get pies and crisps for thanksgiving and they always give us a discount for being loyal customers. If you want a quiet place with great food and not a lot of tourist trappings this is the place to go. read more

Very welcoming and friendly. We were encouraged to taste as we go until we find the apples we like. Lots of apples to choose from. Kid friendly. Our 3 yr olds have a lot of fun. The trees are short enough for our toddlers to pick straight from the tree. $20 for a bucket (about 8 lbs). Highly recommend! read more

25 minute drive from El Dorado Hills. We drove out for the "Golden Delicious" apples. They are so juicy, sweet, and firm that we bought 25 lbs of them! Great experience for the kids to You-Pick their own apples. The staff is super nice. Mini bakery also! read more

Love this place just for the petting zoo alone. The animals are used to human interaction and love to eat which makes it a fun experience not only for kids but adults too. It can get crowded and the shop is long and somewhat narrow. Cool thing is a man in the back who lets people use a voting machine that peels and cuts the apple in a strip like fashion. Pies and Knick knacks similar to other apple farms. read more

My family hadn't been to Apple Hill in about 20 years, and my only memory from when we went as kids was eating a spiral-cut apple off my thumb. I had done some research prior to our trip this past weekend and saw that one of Denver Dan's features was apple peeler demos, so I made sure it was one of our stops, in case this was the place from my memory. When we got into the shop, we meandered for a bit. There was a nice man who asked my nephew if he'd like an apple, but my nephew said no thank you. I watched the man walk away toward--GASP!--a spiral-cutting apple peeler thingy! I was so excited, prodding my nephew to go ahead and have one, that it'd be the best apple ever. But he was adamant that he didn't want one. So the man said I could have the apple instead, and he let my nephew work the peeler but teased him that he wasn't allowed to have any of my apple. After it was peeled, he put it right on my thumb, just like I remembered! It was a perfectly chilled, crisp, sweet and juicy apple...the best. They never once pressured us to buy anything, but merely made sure we had a fun time. It was a simply kind, fun, and wholesome experience. Denver Dan's is a must-visit! read more

This is the best of the best for apple orchards! Baked goods are terrific, there's a free sample in the back with cored and sliced apples, and plenty of apples to pick. Our arms got a good workout hauling them all the way back to the front counter to weigh and pay. Also met Denver Dan himself and he's a fun guy. Not a lot of apple orchards offer U-Pick, so this was a rare find. NOTE: Although the address is listed as Bumble Bee Lane, it's really right off of Larsen Rd. read more

We came to Apple Hill to go apple picking and stopped at Denver Dan's because we saw a big "You Pick" sign outside. Also, from the road we could see lots of trees and apple pickers meandering through the orchard, so we figured it must be a good spot. And we were right! There were many apple trees here and so many varieties of apples, although only a couple of them were ripe today. From the apples we tasted, it seems like only the Golden Delicious were ripe. Many of the other trees had signs that read "Not Ripe" so I imagined that they'll be ripening over the next couple of weeks. Since it was the end of September, it wasn't too crowded and we had plenty of our own trees to pick from. I imagine that as Fall comes into full effect this place could get really busy, so get here early! The apple picking process is easy enough, grab a bucket, fill it with whatever you want from the orchard, then pay $2/pound of fruit you gathered. There's a little black and white map taped to the table up front labeling the different types of trees in the orchard. I recommend snapping a photo that you can refer to later while you're walking around the orchard. You can also look for the small wooden signs at the front of each aisle to identify the trees, but not all aisles have them. Then go fill up your buckets and get ready to eat a bunch of yummy apples! We didn't have a chance to try any of the baked goods, but they all looked amazing - turnovers, dumplings, and cookies, as well as frozen stuff like pies and crisps. They also have savory foods you could have for lunch, and lots of jars of jams and sauces. I mean, this is the stuff Apple Hill is known for! Delicious apple, pumpkin, and berry everything. Get ready for your sugar rush! read more

Denver Dan's is 100% what my mental picture of a stop at Apple Hill should be - cozy yet spacious, welcoming but not touristy, and absolutely loaded with delicious goodies to enjoy there or bring home! I bought a jar of their apple butter and a frozen apple pie to enjoy at home, and 3 of us shared slices of pumpkin roll and apple torte (described by the employees as 'like apple-y cheesecake'). The desserts we had there were awesome, just everything a Fall dessert should be. Real flavors of all the ingredients, great spices and fresh fruit - delicious! The apple butter is yummy and has become part of my weekend breakfast toast tradition. :) The pie was tasty, but the directions didn't cook it 100% through, so do your best estimations between their directions and knowing your oven. Flavor was delicious though, freshest apple pie I've ever had - despite plucking it from the freezer! This will be one of my go-to stops on all return trips to Apple Hill! read more

Denver Dan's - A treat for home! - Farmers Market Near Me - Camino, California

This little orchard on Apple Hill is adorable and quaint. Unfortunately, the apple season this year was very limited so the Upick was not opened to the general public for very long. Once we walked in, we were greeted by a woman who told us to grab and apple which she cored and spiralled for us. She gave us a brief history of Denver Dans and told us to peruse through the trees in the back. It was a small area but super cute. I ended up buying apples, tomatoes, and a apple turnover from their freezer section. The turnover (i got the no sugar added) was PHENOMENAL. I definitely should have bought 100 more to keep in my freezer forever. I will definitely be coming back in the future! read more

Came here this past weekend with my girlfriend and had a great time, they had a mini petting zoo along with pony rides! The ponies were adorable, but that's not the highlight of our visit here. GILBERT IS AMAZING! He was so helpful, we had so many questions regarding the pies and whatnot, I had faint memory of coming here years and years ago with my sisters when I was much younger and tasting apple butter that they refused to buy for me. I saw the jars laid out and decided to start taste testing them one by one. And, bam, I found it, the pot of gold, the golden apple butter, this was the same flavor that burst in my mouth when I was younger, I had finally found it again. UNFORTUNATELY, this sample jar was all they had left, but Gilbert was so kind to let us have it for free even though I was determined to pay him something for it. So, as I write this review, I am enjoying a hefty slice of their delicious apple pie with some apple butter on top. If you're coming through Apple Hill, Denver Dan's is a must-see location! You can thank me later :) read more

Hubby and I ventured up to Apple Hill on a weekday in late September. I had been there years before. Wasn't as good as previous years, ie. selection. We purchased an apple almond pie. The graham cracker crust was like cement, couldn't cut it with a knife. Bought a piece of pumpkin roll...it was dry and tasted old. We both had stomach aches that evening. What happened? Can't blame this on Covid? read more

Love this gem of an Apple Farm. My family and I have been coming to Denver Dans for the past 10+ years it seems now. We make it a tradition every year to pick up some of their cobblers and we grab our apple cider too. They do offer other goodies like applesauce. It's a nice little stop. There is a bench and table you can sit at to enjoy some snacks or lunch if you brought some with you. We tend to make it a whole day thing ourselves. It can get busy at times but for the most part it's a nice quiet spot. The people running it are always super friendly, talkative and helpful. It's great they have a binder with some history you can read about the farm. Last visit my little one got to pick an apple from the large bin for free to snack on. They peeled it and sliced it on the apple peeler for him. Was a super sweet gesture and my little guy was so excited watching it and then getting to eat it. Wish I had more photos to post, Have to make sure to post more when we visit again. See you all next year! read more

So some of my homeschool friends took their kids here last year for a fun excursion. They made a scratch mini apple pie and sugar cookie by hand then went apple picking and variety discussion then had snacks and apple cider for $10 per child ages 5 and up. What a great deal!! Sign me up this year!! Unfortunately, this year wasn't so great for #14 on the Apple Hill tour. They didn't mention that they didn't have any more u-pick apples so no tour included or no snacks or apple cider! Also the price went up to $12 per child ages 5 and up! So we got there to find this all out. We made the apple pie and cookie and then had to wait an hour and a half to bake!! They were quite unfriendly. The young lady Ashley who was leading the apple pie making class seemed very short with the parents and snappy with the kids. She told us Moms to stay over "there" out of the way. Really. Taking pictures of our angelic hard working children was the ONLY reason we were there! We also had just as many children who were under 5 who were too young to participate and basically had to just sit around and do nothing. The apple picking could have given them something fun to do but we weren't given that heads up. So after our kids were finished we decided to hit a pumpkin patch; kill 2 birds with one stone! See my review for McGee's. After 90 minutes passed we went back over to collect our goodies. They had all the creations on a rack, boxed, with the kids names on them. Thats it. No thank you for coming or good bye and happy harvest! Kind of disappointing. Just pick up your stuff and leave! The Husband & Wife just seemed tired and grumpy. They didn't seem welcoming to us at all. There was one man who was very friendly and chatty. He gave me all kinds of good info about pies, apple dumplings and apple crisp. It made me want to buy them because he said he made them!! Well then they MUST be great!! He had a smile and really enjoyed his job! How refreshing!! I would give him 5 stars for sure!! So like I said, Denver Dan's is #14 on the Apple Hill map. They are in a valley with orchards around their tin barn. There is lots of hill and flat parking. There are *gulp* two port-o-potties on the side of the barn & drive way. Surprisingly, they were clean as a whistle! Lots of toilet paper, hand sanitizer full inside and somewhere all my three children were happy to visit. They did have a sink with soap & water available. You walk into their store area, they have several tables under a covered patio and a picnic table in the sun. There are freezers along the entire left wall. This is also where they make their goodies, bake, and pack everything. On the right side are all the prepackaged syrups, jams, spreads and everything you could think of (most of which had corn syrup or high fructose corn syrup) yuck! They also had the handmade (tacky) Christmas items available for sale. They also had a couple of bins of apples for sale and some big machine with big cogs & gears doing goodness knows what!! Beyond that in the very back is where they perform their classes. I think they offer many different classes that you can check out on their website. There was 4 or 5 picnic tables and racks for storage. The happy man was also back here helping out. All-in-all, its a neat idea to have these classes but you have to be happy & friendly to work with the public. Stay home if you are not!! This place takes cash & credit. read more

This is a cute spot where you can pick your own apples. It's a little pricey, but a fun experience for city slickers and kids. They have an interesting variety of apples to choose from, including some unusual types like Winter Banana! Plus, it's beautiful walking through the hills lined with trees. There is also a petting zoo, and a plethora of homemade jams, curds, and other preserves to choose from. read more

This place was a great U-pick experience! My favorite part about it was the golden delicious apples. We didn't try any of the baked goods, just apples! They encourage try before you buy, and we sure did! The only complaint I have about this place is that the trees are not labeled well, so it's kind of confusing which is which. I thought for sure we had some other variety, but turns out it was Golden Delicious...historically my least favorite apple of all time. How funny! The guy at the register told me that Golden Delicious at their farm tastes nothing like grocery store variety. He wasn't kidding.....these are crazy good! Aside from the apple picking, our 2 year old rode a pony without having to stand in line, the kids got to pet some farm animals without having to stand in line.....you get where I'm going with this. It was crowded, but not overly so. I waited in line probably 15 min to pay for my apples, but we managed. I thought it was reasonable considering we visited at 2pm on a Saturday in October. Would definitely come back if in the area. read more
