It's that glorious time of year again, when cherries are ripe for the pickin'. The Victorian cherry season has arrived, which means your next few months can be spent cruising through picturesque orchards and indulging in a diet of cherry-based everything.
It's also the time when CherryHill Orchards hosts its annual cherry picking festival, running from November 27 till early January at its OG Wandin East orchard, and from November 13 till late December at its new Coldstream location.
Book in for a cherry picking timeslot, and you'll have two and a half hours to pick and eat your fill of delicious fruit straight from the tree, with any extra take-home haul charged by the kilogram. You can pack your own picnic to enjoy onsite, or let The Posh Palais take care of you with one of its luxe, all-inclusive Posh Picnics set-ups.
Also hitting the orchard through the festival will be a rotation of food trucks, a program of live tunes, and CherryHill's famed pink caravan serving up a range of cherry drinks and cherry ice cream.
