Cherry Picking Season at CherryHill Orchards
Take part in a true tree-to-plate experience, as visitors pick their own fresh fruit, then picnic amid scenic surrounds.
Overview
Spring is back, so the likes of bananas, blueberries, mangoes, watermelons and cherries are at their most delicious. And in the latter's case, you're invited to hand-select your own, as the annual Cherry Picking Season returns to CherryHill Orchards, stretching through the height of summer.
Set amid the Yarra Valley, this special ticketed event invites guests to roam either Coldstream or Wandin East properties, plucking all-you-can-eat cherries fresh from the rows of trees. Once you've gathered enough, spread out a picnic in the sun to soak up the scenic grounds.
Whether you make the trip an hour from Melbourne solo, or with friends and family in tow, this is also a stellar chance to visit CherryHill Orchard's farmgate store and cafe. Here, visitors will find fresh fruit, cherry-laced ice cream, refreshing drinks, sweet treats and more ripe with farm-grown goodness.
With these cherry-growing experts producing over 40 different varieties depending on the season, the boxes of produce up for sale feature only the plumpest, juiciest fruit available. Ready to experience a tree-to-plate experience? Tickets for the 2025/2026 season are now available, running from Friday, November 7–Sunday, January 4.
