Take in a local wine tasting this fall! Wine makes us think of nestling by the fire with our favorite red and reading a chilling thriller. Warm reds are all the rage in the colder months and it is also a sophisticated way to spend the season. Try Silverlake Wines on Thursday nights for a popular local spot!
Besides the pumpkin patches that pop up during this time of year in LA, an alternative is to go apple picking in the San Bernardino Mountains. Walking through the fields picking fresh apples will make you feel like a fall queen. Make an apple pie or set up a game of bobbing for apples with your freshly picked batch. If you really want to embrace the fall, you might even brew up a cauldron of apple cider. Nothing screams fall like apple cider!
Is fall ever complete without a pumpkin? If fall had a mascot, then the pumpkin would definitely be it. So make sure to make your way to the Forneris Farm for some of the best pumpkins in town. Get lost in the corn maze and pick up a few pumpkins to make all of the fall culinary classics like pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin pancakes…etc. Oh and of course you’ll need some to carve into jack-o-lanterns!
