Cherry Picking and Mary Eats Cake Experience at CherryHill Orchards
We celebrated cherry season with an amazing day at CherryHill Orchards in Coldstream (Zoe and Kat) picking our own premium cherries for take away in cute buckets (we also ate cherries while picking of course) while enjoying the stunning views and the sunshine.

The perfect day out with a friend and the best activity during the summer holiday season.
CherryHill Orchard's two spectacular locations in the Yarra Valley have now opened their doors this summer for its annual cherry-picking season, where visitors can pick from the endless rows of cherry trees at either the 100-acre Coldstream orchard (now until late December) or at the 85-acre Wandin East orchard (now until early January).
The Coldstream orchard has also just opened a brand new farmgate store where visitors can purchase an array of cherry drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic), cherrymerchandise and cherry-ice cream, while taking in the sights.
Indulge in the likes of cherry gin, cherry vodka, cherryseltzers, cherry spritzers, cherry shiraz, cherry cider, cherry beer and much more.
Families can also expect the perfect school holiday day out, enjoying cherry-picking, picnics, cherry ice-cream and more. On weekends and public holidays, expect live music by talented local musicians and local food trucks.
Those wanting to do something different for their work Christmas party can book a group Bespoke Corporate Package where CherryHill’s event planning experts will collaborate to tailor to the company’s needs, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience. After enjoying a delicious lunch colleagues can get hands on, picking their own cherries and eating as many cherries as they like straight from the trees.
CherryHill has also teamed up with Mary Eats Cake for a High Tea and Cherry-Picking experience. Guests arrive at Meat Eats Cake in Montrose to enjoy a French sparkling wine on arrival, followed by a luxurious high tea with delectable savouries, scones and sweets. Guests then head over to CherryHill Orchards in Wandin East for two-hours of cherry-picking fun in the orchard, the friendly guides will instruct on how to pick cherries from the tree to feast on while they’re there, and also take home 500g of handpicked cherries.
CherryHill Orchards is excited to once again welcome visitors to pick from thousands of ripe, sweet cherries at both locations for this popular festival.
Admission to the festival includes 2 hours of cherry picking, and guests are encouraged to pick and eat as many cherries as their heart desires. Pack a picnic and take in the scenic rolling hills that surround the orchards.
