A fifth-generation agritourism property near Delaplane pairing u-pick apples, peaches, and berries with its own hard cider, wine, and mead — but the site displayed a 'WE ARE CLOSED FOR THE SEASON' banner when checked, with no reopening date posted, so confirm status by phone or Facebook before visiting.
Valley View Farm, on Leeds Manor Road in Delaplane, is described in the record as a fifth-generation agritourism property that pairs u-pick apples, peaches, and berries with its own hard cider, wine, and mead production, plus a wedding venue and lodging. That’s a genuinely broad operation — few orchards in this research batch combine on-site alcohol production with event hosting and overnight stays in the same way.
The most important fact in this record is also the most uncertain: when the orchard’s own site was read on September 2, 2026, it displayed a banner stating “WE ARE CLOSED FOR THE SEASON,” directing visitors to Facebook for current updates. No 2026 apple dates were posted anywhere else on the site. This is worth flagging honestly rather than explaining away — it’s entirely possible this reflects a normal gap between earlier-summer crops (peaches, berries) and the fall apple season, with picking set to resume once apples are ready. But the record has no way to confirm that interpretation, since no reopening date accompanies the closed message. It could just as easily mean a longer-term closure this year.
Assuming the farm reopens as described, the posted hours are Friday from noon to 5pm, Saturday from noon to 6pm, and Sunday from noon to 5pm — a three-day, weekend-focused schedule. Hard cider, wine, and mead tastings are listed as activities, alongside farm tours, positioning this as a destination for adults interested in what the farm produces beyond raw fruit, not just a picking stop.
Beyond the u-pick and tasting side, the record lists a wedding venue and lodging as part of the property. Neither comes with pricing or booking detail in the record, but their presence suggests Valley View Farm functions as much as an event and hospitality business as an orchard — which may explain why apple-specific seasonal information is comparatively thin here relative to the farm’s fuller offerings.
Because the official site’s own guidance points visitors to Facebook for current status, that’s genuinely the most useful next step for anyone checking whether the closed banner has lifted. This is a different situation than orchards with no website at all — Valley View Farm has an official site, but it’s explicitly telling visitors to look elsewhere for up-to-date information.
No apple varieties are named. No 2026 season-start or season-end date is posted, and no reopening date accompanies the current closed status. Address coordinates are shared with the nearby Hollin Farms listing rather than independently geocoded to Valley View Farm’s own Leeds Manor Road address.
Valley View Farm offers a genuinely distinctive combination — u-pick fruit, its own hard cider, wine, and mead, plus a wedding venue and lodging — for a fifth-generation Delaplane property. But the site’s own “closed for season” status, shown with no reopening date, means this record can’t currently confirm whether apple picking is available. Checking the farm’s Facebook page or calling 540-302-6298 before a visit is the necessary next step, not an optional extra.
Unclear. The site showed a 'WE ARE CLOSED FOR THE SEASON' status when read on September 2, 2026, with no 2026 apple dates or reopening date posted.
you need same-day certainty — the site's own status showed closed for the season with no reopening date given, so this needs a phone or Facebook check first.
Hollin Farms is also located in Delaplane, Fauquier County — a possible second stop, and its site describes apple picking running from late August through October, which could offer an active alternative if Valley View Farm's closed status hasn't lifted.
