Blanch Manor also has 30 minute wagon ride hayrides through a working apple orchard which are followed by a fireside dinner where local musicians entertain with mountain music and story telling to your family. The campfire dinner consists of homemade chili, cornbread, soda, water, and homemade dessert, as well as hot dogs and marshmallows for roasting. After dinner, you can end the evening with a game of horseshoes next to the fire. The evening event usually lasts about 1 1/2 hours and is held an hour before nightfall year round.
This activity is perfect for people who cannot ride horses, or families who just want to enjoy a dinner around a blazing campfire and enjoy authentic Blue Ridge Mountains entertainment. They need a minimum of 8 people for hay rides, but they will try to combine smaller families together to reach the required minimum number. Please be sure to ask for directions to the hay ride when booking, as the hay ride is at Mountain View Apple Orchard, not Blanche Manor.
