This November, blossoms turn into cherries as CherryHill Orchards transforms into a banquet. The Cherry Picking season is the final event on the CherryHill Orchards calendar and marks the penultimate moment for the third-generation family-operated business.
The gates will open on the two Yarra Valley orchards for the public to pick their own cherries fresh from the tree. Visitors are encouraged to make a day of it with family and friends and are encouraged to enjoy the beautiful grounds of CherryHill with a picnic or treats from the on-site café. The farmgate store serves up delicious cherry ice cream, beverages, and lots of cherry goodies!
As the year winds down and thoughts turn to celebrations, cherries are the perfect addition to any meal or special event. Visitors are invited to wander the orchard picking the juiciest cherries while making a meal along the way. For those wanting to discover the region, guests are invited to book a Cheese, Cherries & Chocolate daytrip, where they will start their day with a gourmet cheese tasting at Yarra Valley Dairy, followed by a cherry-picking adventure at CherryHill Orchards, and concluding with an indulgent fondue picnic at the Yarra Valley Chocolatarie and Icecreamery.
CherryHill grow over 40 varieties of premium sweet cherries, and can be purchased from CherryHill’s two Yarra Valley farmgate stores throughout the season. You’ll also find them at your local grocery store and fresh fruit grocer during the summer season. Their cherries are grown across the Yarra Valley, Murray Valley, Goulburn Valley and the Victorian High Country regions, with availability dependant on the growing location and seasonal timings. Every box of CherryHill cherries contains delicious varieties that have been picked at the perfect time to be sweet, plump, and juicy.
The Cherry Picking experience is available at the Coldstream and Wandin East locations and marks a celebratory time on the calendar. Only an hour’s drive from Melbourne, the event includes all-you-can-eat cherries while picking, access to picnic areas, cherry ice cream, refreshing drinks, and a farmgate shop filled with cherry treats and local produce, providing an authentic tree-to-plate experience. Tickets are now available for their 2025 / 2026 season, and weekends sell out fast so bookings are essential.
