Where Twin Peaks Orchards is located
You'll find Twin Peaks Orchards just outside Newcastle, in the farm country of Placer County, California. The setting is small-town, agricultural, and quiet, the sort of drive that feels like the trip is already part of the experience.
From Newcastle center, 6105 California 193 is a short drive on county roads. Weekend traffic can back up near the entrance on peak fall Saturdays, arriving before 11 a.m. usually skips the wait.
Nearby you'll find the kind of scenery California does well in October, farm stands, rural churches, and roads lined with maples turning red. It's a solid half-day out even without leaving Newcastle.
