Balanced comfortably on the Eastern Continental Divide between Blowing Rock, NC and Mt. Mitchell is a 100+ year-old vintage apple orchard which has become a destination for thousands of visitors and also a cultural icon for the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Orchard at Altapass has its apple flavor but the magic of this mountain surprise is the experience that immerses one in real-time mountain traditions. There is a menu here to satisfy all the human senses whether it be the beholden sight of THE significant preserved panoramic Parkway view, the sound of authentic old-time and mountain bluegrass music, the taste of as many as 14 varieties of creamy, fresh fudge, the smell of premise-cooked real apple butter, or the touch to a paper thin wing of a ready-to-be released monarch butterfly.
Experience the good stuff! … because it is being preserved here just for you.
The Orchard of Altapass’s last day of operation for the season is October 30, 2011.
