CherryHill Blossom Festival 2019
Yarra Valley's cherry orchard is opening its gates for two weeks while the trees are looking their best.
Overview
Get ready for your Instagram feed to explode with cherry blossoms because these highly photogenic trees are nearly in bloom once again. If you're looking for the best of the bunch, head to the Yarra Valley for the annual Blossom Festival at CherryHill Orchards.
The festival will run from September 26 through October 6, 9am–5pm daily. Apart from the blossoms — which you'll most likely spend the entire day taking selfies with — there'll be live music and giant lawn games to keep you entertained.
If you forgot to pack a picnic (or were too lazy to do so), there'll be plenty of food options from the visiting food trucks, which'll be serving up everything from tacos to dumplings and burgers. And you can expect plenty of cherry-flavoured goods, too — think ice cream, pie, cider and spritzers. Yarra Valley's Four Pillars Gin will also be on hand, stirring cherry-spiked cocktails.
Tickets will cost a tenner (and include a complimentary cherry spritzer), and you can bring the kids along for five bucks each, but sadly your fur baby will have to stay behind as this is not a dog-friendly festival.
CherryHill Blossom Festival is open from 9am–5pm daily. Tickets go on sale on Thursday, July 18.
