Grandpa's Cellar is located in the foothills of California's Sierra Nevada. The 3100 ft. elevation with cool nights and warm days produces superior apples. We are famous for tasty apples, specialty apple bakery items and family activities. The harvest season begins Labor Day weekend at Grandpa's Cellar and continues through mid December.
Since 1978 Grandpa's Cellar has added services and features always trying to maintain a rural farm atmosphere. Quality not quantity is our motto! Our Staff will help to make your visit a memorable one.
Visitors can relax and enjoy a picnic on the lawn under the old apple trees surrounded by towering Ponderosa Pine and fragrant Incense Cedar trees. Our Nature Trail is an easy walk through the native forest where signs describe the plants
