WHETHER it's a weekly visit or special holiday destination, Nightingale Apples' Wandiligong location makes a sweet treat for the whole family.
Apples on offer throughout the year include Granny Smiths, Royal Gala, Fuji, Pink Ladies, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Jonathan and more.
Beyond their own range of jams and pies, they also stock lots of local products made by wonderful businesses in our region.
Not to mention the chestnut and persimmon harvests and cider products also sold from Nightingales.
From time to time, even the orchard's old apple bins are retired and available to a second home, although guests and locals looking to add a touch of local rustic decor to their homes may have to sign up to a waiting list.
"At Nightingales Alpine Produce you can buy the best farm fresh apples right from our farmgate store," Chris Joyce from Nightingale Bros, Alpine Produce said.
"Our range of Alpine Cider apple ciders and juices is a must, including Alpine Spiced cider which is perfect warmed on a cold day.
"With tastings available to try before you buy you can decide on your favorite."
Merrilyn Frederick from Bright said Nightingales is is one of her favourite places to visit.
"We drop in to enjoy the outdoor lawn space, sit in the sun and have a great coffee as well; especially in this beautiful weather," she said.
"I come here every week to stock up on apples: these two bags will last us about a week, because we've got five boys in our house.
"It's a great place to let the kids out to run around and I also love looking at the nearby mountains; it's one of my favourite things."
Guests are also encouraged to dive into the box of interactive games Nightingales supplies and take them for a spin on the lawn: skittles, connect four, bocce and more are the perfect way to round out a visit to the site.
