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.

We also enjoyed an incredible Mary Eats Cake picnic pack filled with High Tea sweet and savoury treats from this Melbourne icon.

We indulged in the likes of shakshuka quiche, cherry delight doughnuts, and a selection of artisan cheeses, fruits, crackers and cherry chutney. A real highlight.

We finished our fun culinary journey with mouth watering cherry ice cream.

The perfect day out with a friend and the best activity during the summer holiday season.
