• Apfelfest

  <p>Join us in the Amana Colonies as we celebrate Apfelfest on Saturday, September 18th. &nbsp;It’s apple time and on this Saturday we will celebrate all things apple (and somethings that aren’t). &nbsp;Here is a chance to experience the Amana Colonies at a wonderful time of year. &nbsp;The leaves are turning and there is a slight crispness in the air. &nbsp;Kind of like that crisp caramel apple. &nbsp;It’s a beautiful time to visit the Colonies and you’ll find apple treats, apple gifts, and apple desserts at many of the businesses. Of course, a local orchard will be on hand to sell you fresh apples to take home.</p><p>Take the Apfelfest Sampling Stroll and visit a variety of businesses that will all have something apple for you to sample, then when you’ve finished turn in your brochure and be entered into a drawing for a $100 gift certificate.</p><p>A culinary highlight of Apfelfest is the Amana Meat Shop’s Apple Gouda Brats. &nbsp;You can purchase some to take home or head to the brewery where they’ll be on the grill. &nbsp;Wash them down with a little Millstream beer or root beer and listen to the music. &nbsp;What a great fall day.</p><p>Several of our restaurants feature apple dishes. &nbsp;The most popular apple item on the menu has to be a great piece of German-style apple strudel. &nbsp;Take a bite of this and you’ll think you’re in Munich. &nbsp;Not a bad idea with Oktoberfest just a few weeks away.</p><p>Looking for an All-American treat? How about a crisp caramel apple? &nbsp;Who doesn’t love that? &nbsp;It’s an American Classic and the Chocolate Haus is just one place you’ll find that treat and they hand-dip them every day.</p><p>Sunday, September 19th we will revive a German tradition with our Volksmarch in the Homestead timber. From 11am to 2pm join us as we walk the Nature Trail to the Iowa River and back. &nbsp;The Volksmarch is weather dependent so if it is raining call ahead (319-622-7622).</p><p>Picture a beautiful fall day, a picturesque village, and apple treats in every shop. &nbsp;That’s Apfelfest in the Amana Colonies.</p> 2021-08-11 16:00:00 -0500
