Really cute apple farm and cider stand along the highway. We stopped here on the way to Mendocino…read moreand grabbed a bottle of apple cider sauce which we haven't seen elsewhere before. The stand itself is small and there weren't many people when we stopped by on a rainy day but the area is super charming. They also sell organic apple juice, cider, apple cider vinegar and some dried apples and pears. A lot of their products are organic and it's super easy to pay via cash, venmo or they have a card swiper inside.

Such a cute cider stand! Gowan's Ciders are award winning and you can find them in supermarkets…read moreacross SF but we stumbled upon this stop on our way to Mendocino. They specialize in local cider and were kind enough to give us a couple of complimentary tastings. We ended up getting a bottle of the Gravenstein as a souvenir. We heard it's their best selling variety and I can see why. The cider is medium-dry, crisp and refreshing and at 6% abv it's a pretty light drink. I can see it being perfect for a summer day! They also have tasting flights that you can enjoy in their covered tent. Definitely worth a stop along the highway. The staff were super nice and friendly as well!

This was a fun little pit stop on our way to go camping!

We saw a few people "in the know" simply drive up and grab a few ciders to take home. The tasting was pretty good, and you get a lot of bang for your buck (especially if you split one!). Our favorites were the Gravenstein and the non-commercial, wild-fermented cider that was a bonus tasting. I'm still sad I couldn't take that one home since it wasn't bottled! I appreciated knowing where I could purchase Gowan's in the Bay Area. It would be great if they had a little postcard or printed note that I could take home with me!
