Apple Picking & Wine Tasting
2023-09-30 12:00 - 15:00 | Bolton, MA, USA
Join us for a delightful day of apple picking and wine tasting that’s as refreshing as a Sunday sermon, but with fewer hymns and more apples. We’ll kick things off at 12 PM at Bolton Orchards, located at 125 Still River Rd, Bolton, MA. After we’ve picked some apples and enjoyed a cider donut or two, we’ll head just down the road to Nashoba Valley Winery for a wine tasting and lunch. It’s a great way to “fruitfully” spend your afternoon and perhaps discover your new favorite wine—let’s call it divine inspiration. We’ll wrap things up around 3 PM, giving you plenty of time to repent for any overindulgence.
Text Rev. Tom at 315-447-4974 if you can make it or have questions.
Hope to see you there!
