Why go

A 250-year-old farm outside Princeton that's equal parts orchard, winery, and family playground: pick apples or berries, then sample Terhune's own wine on the patio while kids visit the barnyard animals. The farm store's apple cider donuts are routinely ranked among New Jersey's best. Fall weekend festivals bring live music and wagon rides.
