Hood River County Fruit Loop Heirloom Apple Celebration
Fruit Loop's Annual Heirloom Apple Celebration
Tasty classic apple varietiesmany now quite rareare at the center of this festival, along with delicious fresh cider, gourmet food, country fun, and lots more. "Heirloom" or "classic" apples can trace their heritage back 100 years or more and their individual flavors and aromas have been compared to different vintages of wine. This is the perfect weekend to discover and taste some of the old apple varieties that have all but disappeared from commercial American orchards.

October 24-25
Apple Cider Overboard
We love apples and pears too! Sip fresh-pressed apple cider by the jug or warm caramel apple cider as you wind your way through the bins of just-picked apples and pears and immerse yourself in the scents of fall. Follow your nose into the bakery for apple pies and fruit-filled empanadas. Try the pumpkin milkshake or a foamy home-brewed root beer float. Samples are ample and the view can’t be beat.
