Take a Fall Foliage Drive
Roanoke, Virginia

0
The best way to capture the beauty of fall is to hop in the car and go for a drive – a long and winding road kind of drive. Colorado’s West Elk Loop Scenic Drive, Virginia's Blue Ridge Parkway or the Olympic Peninsula in Seattle should all do the trick.

Welcome Oyster Season in Seattle

One of the best things about fall is the start of oyster season (if you’re a traditionalist, oysters are best reserved for months with the letter R in the name). The Washington coast is plentiful with oysters this time of year, and a seat at the oyster bar at Bar Melusine in Seattle guarantees you’ll be throwing back oyster shooters and sparkling rosé in the sweetest atmosphere in town.

Cannon Beach, Oregon

0
Dinner parties outdoors start coming to an end in the fall, so best to go out by hosting a dinner party with a bang. Haystack Rock in Oregon is a spot that’ll have your guests swooning over sunsets and autumnal skies.

Go Apple Picking & Wine Tasting
Julian, California

0
Apple picking is a classic fall family fun activity. A lesser known apple picking destination, Julian is just an hour outside San Diego. Pair up your orchard trip at Calico Ranch or Apple Starr Orchards with a jaunt to one of the many nearby wineries. Not in California? Check with your local orchard for apple picking information.
