Time Out says

Think you have to go to Japan to see the cherry blossoms? Think again

From September 16 to October 1, take in the magical sights of Japan right here in Victoria at the gorgeous CherryHill Orchards in Yarra Valley. You'll have the opportunity to wander through rows of millions of gorgeous cherry blossoms in bloom, sip on cherry-based drinks, enjoy delicious cherry ice cream, listen to live music and participate in fun activities for the whole family. 

In addition to the cherry-themed goodness, the festival will offer an adorable high tea picnic, where you can nibble on scrumptious sandwiches, cheese and other sweet and savoury treats among the beautiful blossoms. 

We all know that one the best parts of visiting the cherry blossoms is getting to take countless happy snaps with a stunning pink floral background, and now you can conveniently learn how to take the perfect shot at the festival, with phone photography workshops. 

And there are plenty more fun-filled activities on offer, including flower crown workshops, a session on the importance of bees in our ecosystem run by a local bee expert and classes on candle-making. To top it all off, you can enjoy stunning sky-high views with a hot air balloon ride over the Yarra Valley at sunrise. 

Conveniently located only an hour from the Melbourne CBD, this festival is the perfect way to take in the spring weather and relax during the school holidays. Tickets are $12.50 for adults and $7 for children on weekdays and $15 for adults and $8 for children on weekends.
