10. Apple Cider
Appleland Orchard
135 Smith Ave. (Rte. 116)Greenville, RI
401-949-3690
Since unpasteurized cider can legally be sold only at the orchard that presses it (a handful in New England still do this), it's a 40-year-old tradition to trek to Appleland in the fall. The cider is an unbeatable blend of Macs, Empires, and Delicious apples, whose nectarlike taste will make you swoon.
