“If the Gravenstein could be had throughout the year, no other apple need be grown.”
—Luther Burbank
The Gravenstein Apple Fair is held every August when its namesake apple is at peak ripeness in the orchards surrounding Ragle Ranch Park, so you can rest assured the Fair will be brimming with all things Gravenstein! At Apple Alley, meet Sonoma County apple farmers and artisan producers, sample their farmstead offerings, and shop for fresh-picked Gravensteins by the pound or box, apple sauce, apple fritters, apple juice, apple cider vinegar, apple pie, apple butter, apple treats, and much more. The Grav is versatile and delicious. But it’s also fleeting, as its season and shelf life are short. So stock up at Apple Alley while the Gravensteins are at their best!
