Cherry lovers again have double the opportunity to pick succulent cherries this summer at the Yarra Valley's CherryHill Orchards . Having two orchards in different locations means more cherries and more picking opportunities, as they have slightly different growing seasons.



As well as cherry picking, visitors can graze from the food trucks, as well as sampling and purchasing a range of cherry themed products. The ever popular cherry ice cream will be available, made in collaboration with Lavezzi Gelato . There will also be cherry Vinaigrette, Sweet Cherry Syrup, Cherry BBQ Sauce and Cherry Glaze, allowing visitors to stock their kitchens with products that will evoke the summer cherry feeling all year round.Also available will be a line of cherry flavoured beverages, for guests to enjoy onsite or take home. The Blushing Cherry Gin and Cherry Blossom Gins are the perfect base for a summer cocktail, while the Dry Cider, Cherry Shiraz (a personal favourite!) and Cherry Spritzer ensure every taste is catered for.



Visitors are welcome to pack their own picnic to enjoy on the grounds. Please note there is no BYO alcohol, however alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages can be purchased and consumed on-site. So if you've been thinking it's time to plan a trip out of town, then here's the perfect destination!
