It's oh-so-happily harvest season party animals! Light the fires and kick the tires, we're finding the nearest leaf pile to play in! If fall is the "time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale," then we should surely celebrate this colorful crescendo.

We're throwing on our cozy scarves & boots, shaking the beach sand from our hair while setting apple-picking appointments, mixing up some magnificent mulled wine, lighting crackling bonfires and artfully arranging a perfect pumpkin tablescape! We've also found the time to round up a bountiful harvest of  vibrant venues for all of your fabulous fall fetes!

1. VENUE: Philo Apple Farm        LOCATION: Philo, CA

THE REPORT: There's something simply so autumn about biting into a freshly picked, sweet juicy apple, scarf wrapped tightly around your neck, the juice intermingling with laughter as the scent of firewood permeates the air.  Harvest season indeed. Grab your wellies and a gaggle of your girls for a getaway to the (ph)abulous Philo Apple Farm. Stay for the weekend in one of three cottages (red, green or blue door) and expect delicious coffee, fresh toast and homemade juice and jam each morning. Stay and cook a meal with the farm staff using the freshest local ingredients and leave with some sweet, homemade treats and a large dose of inspiration!
