The weather’s getting chillier and you’re probably already missing those summer days and getting out your collection of fall sweaters. Either way, Chicago only gets cooler (hah) in the fall, and we’ve rounded up the best things to do this fall in Chicago. Here are some of the things you should make sure to put on your list.

Attend Wine Riot

Great Hall at Union Station

Wine Riot is a fun fall event that features 250 wines from around the world for you to try. There are also interactive booths and lessons so you can become a true wine connoisseur. There will also be a DJ, a photo booth, and temporary tattoos for a fun night to remember.

Visit a Pumpkin Patch

Sonny Acres Farm

Don’t Forget about the Apples

28th Annual Apple Fest

Saturday, October 3, 2015, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

4700 block of N. Lincoln Avenue (Between W. Leland and W. Lawrence)

Pumpkins may signify fall for some, but apples are just as important! Head to the 28th Annual Apple Fest to get some delicious hot apple cider, fresh apple pies, and just plain apples! There are so many apple goods here (apple pizza, anyone?) that you’ll be leaving with enough to last you the rest of fall.

With so much to do this fall, you’ll never get bored. And the best part is you get to go home to your OneEleven apartment in a great Chicago neighborhood. Contact us to learn more.
