An unusually long apple roster — eleven named varieties — paired with an on-site winery in Preble County, though no 2026 u-pick dates, pricing, or cider/donut details were posted at the time of research.
Tuken’s Orchard & Winery sits at 15725 Dayton Eaton Pike in West Alexandria, Preble County, positioned between Dayton and Cincinnati. The record confirms an operating season running May 1 through December 23, with hours of Monday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm, and Sunday, 11am to 5pm — a genuinely long open season by the standards of this dataset. The farm closes December 24 through April 30, available by appointment only during that window. Both u-pick and pre-picked apples are listed, and wine tasting is confirmed as an on-site activity.
Eleven named apple varieties appear in this record: Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Braeburn, Ida Red, Sun Fuji, Pink Lady, Cameo, Granny Smith, Sun Crisp, Gold Rush, and Winesap. That’s a wider named list than most other orchards in this dataset, and it spans a broad stretch of the ripening calendar — Red and Golden Delicious ripen earlier in the fall, while GoldRush and Winesap are classically late-season apples, often among the last picked before winter. According to the research notes, apples aren’t the only fruit grown here either; strawberries, cherries, plums, blackberries, and peaches round out the farm’s calendar across other months.
The combination of a u-pick orchard with an on-site winery, named in the research notes as Chateau Tuken, is a genuine point of difference from most orchards in this dataset. Wine tasting is listed as a confirmed activity. The record doesn’t specify hours, pricing, or what’s poured, so treat the winery as a real, confirmed feature worth building a visit around, with the specifics to be worked out on arrival or by phone.
One detail worth flagging clearly: Tuken’s markets itself under nearly identical landing pages branded for both Cincinnati and Dayton, according to the source note, but both versions point to this same West Alexandria address. If you found this listing while searching for something “in Cincinnati” or “in Dayton,” it’s worth knowing upfront that the actual farm sits in Preble County, roughly between the two — not within either city itself.
Despite the strong variety list and clear general hours, nothing in this record confirms 2026 u-pick apple dates, pricing, or whether cider or donuts are offered — none of that information was found on the pages reviewed. That’s a real gap for anyone trying to plan a picking trip around a specific apple from the eleven-variety list; the general operating season and hours are solid, but the apple-specific calendar isn’t.
Tuken’s Orchard & Winery combines one of the longer apple variety lists in this dataset with a genuine on-site winery and a long operating season — a distinctive combination worth the drive for the right visitor. What it can’t tell you yet is exactly when your favorite variety off that eleven-apple list will be ready to pick in 2026, or what it’ll cost.

Not stated as a specific date range. With eleven named varieties running from Red Delicious and Golden Delicious through late-season Winesap and GoldRush, the operation spans most of the apple calendar, but the record doesn't confirm which weeks any given variety is actually ready in 2026.
You need confirmed 2026 u-pick dates, pricing, or cider/donut availability before committing — none were posted on the orchard's own site at the time of research.
