CherryHill Orchards’ Pick Your Own is Back this Summer

The summer cherry-picking season is almost here and CherryHill Orchards’, Pick Your Own season is set to start on November 24th with an abundant crop of sweet, ripe cherries to pick, eat on the spot and take home by the bucketful!

As well as delicious cherries, there’ll be lots of fun, family activities to enjoy throughout the season, including face painting, fantastic food trucks, an outdoor cinema and CherryHill’s famous ice cream now also available from a cute, retro caravan that will make its way through the orchard.

Children love to pick their own fresh cherries and this year, weekday (Monday to Friday) entry for children up to 13 years old is free.

The whole family can enjoy live local music, giant lawn games and selfie photo fun, all against the backdrop of stunning Yarra Valley views. There’s also a play area set aside for children with a newly installed vintage tractor to provide lots of fun and photo opportunities.

The whole family will also enjoy CherryHill Orchards’ outdoor cinema showing Christmas themed films such as “Elf” and “Home Alone” every Friday night in December**.

Bring a picnic or enjoy some of the food and drink options that just keep growing at CherryHill Orchards. New for this season, every paid entry ticket will include a bottle of CherryHill’s Cherish, a refreshing sparkling cherry juice.

This year, CherryHill Orchards have launched a Cherry Shiraz wine, which will be available for tastings and purchase, as well as their new range of cherry cocktails from their farmgate tasting bar.

You can eat as many cherries as you like at the orchard and purchase the rest to take home. It’s a great family activity and a fun way for children to learn about where their food comes from. CherryHill Orchards’ friendly staff will take you to the very best picking spots, and are on hand to help with any cherry questions you may have.

CherryHill Orchards’ Pick Your Own season is expected to run to Mid-January. Check their website for details.
