There is nothing that conjures up the memory of Fall more than homemade apple pie. Why not go pick your own apples and eat some of the best apple pie San Diego has to offer? 

Enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery while venturing up to Julian, California – the Apple Capital of Southern California. Grab some apples to enjoy for the week and pick your own pumpkins at the pumpkin patch. The kids will love it! 

After your trip to the Apple farm, spend some time driving through the surrounding Cuyamaca Mountains. Get lost in the trees, enjoy the weather, and snap some pictures of the amazing views.

Ready to take a break and smell the pie? Julian Farms is a family-owned and operated farm. They grow a variety of fruit, including apples, and offer apple picking from September through November. 

This is a great fall activity for the whole family and it doesn’t hurt that the drive there has some of the best views.

When you’re done, don’t forget to stop for some apple pie at the Julian Pie Company.
