Where we went for Apple Picking

This weekend we were recreating our New England apple picking traditions here in South Korea by visiting an apple orchard about 1 hour from Pyeongtaek, South Korea called Yesan Apple and Wine Picking. This is a popular location for ex-pats who want to embrace Korean culture while also experiencing memories of home.

We didn't have a reservation when we went to pick apples. We simply showed up ready to get involved. When we entered the main building, there was a counter where we could let them know if we wanted to pick apples, eat BBQ, and/or have dessert. That was where we registered for the day.

Just so you know, if you pick apples, someone shows you the row and how to pick. If you get BBQ, you take your receipt outside and they plate it. Then by the BBQ there is free wine tasting. Finally they announce a distillery tour and you can do that. It's kind of like a build-your-own-adventure.

Now that you know where to go and how to do it, this is what our apple picking day looked like.

Our Wonderful Experience Picking Apples

For us, Yesan Apple Farm was just right because it brought us together with friends, BBQ, and apple picking. It was nice to head to a destination that made our day trip easy as pie.

The apple farm also had a wine/brandy tour with all the products ade from fruit from this farm: apple wine, blueberry wine, apple brandy, and apple soju.

Who Will Love Apple Picking

Families, couples, and friends will love a day trip to Yesan for apple picking as long as they love trees, apples, and a relaxing day. Visiting this location is best done by car or on an organized tour.
