Lyndhurst was once home to thriving orchards, many filled with apple trees. Drawing on this history, the Harvest Tour and Tea will feature a short program celebrating the region’s enduring connection to this cherished fruit.
Harvest Tour and Tea Tickets (3PM)
Ideally suited for guests to join on their own or with others, the Harvest Tour and Tea will take place following a one-hour guided tour of Lyndhurst. The tours begin at 11 am and at 3 pm. The Harvest Tea itself is comprised of a short program and will take place within the Carriage House after the tour of the mansion. Fine teas from the Puddings and Biscakes collection will be offered alongside scones with clotted cream and locally produced apple jam!
The Harvest Tour and Tea will celebrate the splendor and beauty of autumn in the Hudson Valley.
- WESTCHESTER APPLE TRAIL: Tour and Tasting ExperienceRed Barn Bakery, Irvington, NY
I've created a new experience that places the spotlight on apples which I've named the Westchester Apple Trail.
TICKETS: Westchester Apple Trail
ABOUT
Celebrate apple season with the newly created Westchester Apple Trail: Tour and Tasting. The experience - will be led by me - will include stops to multiple beloved local spots such as bakeries, a fruit farm, cider mill and ice cream shop - each offering delicious apple-themed tastings.
Treats will include apple cider donut muffins, apple turnovers, apple-pie filled donuts, apple cider, apple sorbet along with apple salsa and select apple varieties. Tastings will vary in size according to the type of tasting. You will also have the opportunity to do apple picking and to shop along the way at the various stops.
The Westchester Apple Trail experience begins at the Red Barn Bakery in Irvington and will conclude in Croton-on-Hudson, allowing you to enjoy the wonders of the area in early autumn.
You are responsible for your own transportation to the 5 stops. There will be a detailed itinerary of all stops (including bathrooms, parking notes, etc) shared with all registered guests.
The experience has been mapped out to be 3.5 hours which includes driving time and parking time.
As a keepsake, each guest will receive a mini jar of locally made apple jam along with a specially crafted Westchester Apple Trail Guide, I've created which includes interesting tidbits about the area's apple history and points of interest (and tasting spots).
Note: this has limited spots given the stops (and some of the sizes of the places we will visit). Occurs rain or shine.
An RSVP here on Meetup tells me you are interested but a purchased ticket via Eventbrite confirms your spot.
Hope to see you there!
