Planning a Visit to CherryHill Orchards
CherryHill Orchards is around an hour from Melbourne, making it a popular Yarra Valley day trip for families. If you are visiting during the Blossom Festival, allow plenty of time to walk through the orchard, enjoy the Kids Hub and have something to eat.
What to Bring
Spring weather in Melbourne can change quickly, so it’s worth packing for both sunshine and rain. Bring sunscreen and a hat, along with a raincoat and comfortable shoes. A picnic blanket is also handy if you plan to bring your own food and sit in the orchard.
Food & Drink
There are food and drink options available at CherryHill during its spring events, as well as the farm shop and CherryHill’s popular cherry ice cream.
