Have Your Apples and Pick Them, Too!

Clifton Inn Celebrates National Apple Month
October 2013

 
An apple a day keeps work at bay - and Apple Danish Pastries an alarm clock away! This fall, Clifton Inn is celebrating the reason for the season, the apples of southern Virginia, and incorporating this once-forbidden fruit from wake up to sun down with “An Apple a Day” package offered during National Apple Month in October. Situated in historic Jefferson country overlooking Monticello Mountain, it’s only fitting that the hotel highlight one of Thomas Jefferson’s favorites:  the Albemarle apple. Jefferson is said to have planted as many as 50 “Albemarle Pippins” in the South Orchard at Monticello, and noted during his travels that other apples across the world were inferior to his beloved Virginia apples.
 
When the air gets crisp, so do the apples, which guests will enjoy morning, noon, and night: from Apple Danish Pastries upon wake-up, to an Apple Picking Trip to Carter Mountain Orchard.  As the sun sets behind the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain landscape, executive chef Tucker Yoder’s 4-course Local Apple Menu with Wine Pairings including dishes like Apple and Fall Squash Risotto with Pumpkin Seeds, Maple Gastrique, Sage and Brown Butter along with Seared Stripped Bass with Smoked Albemarle Apple, Creamed Cabbage and Pork Jus will certainly be the apple of your… palate.
