Who said you have to go to Japan to see cherry blossoms in full bloom? This spring, head to CherryHill Orchards in Wandin East for a magical floral experience.
You'll have the opportunity to wander through rows of gorgeous cherry blossom trees in all their pastel-coloured glory, sip on cherry-based drinks, enjoy delicious cherry ice cream, listen to live music and participate in fun activities for the whole family – including a special kids hub with workshops, face painting and fairy fun.
Picnic packs are available to pre-purchase for the event, or you can BYO and find a lovely little spot among the blossoms to enjoy your spread. The on-site food caravans (they are bright pink – you can't miss them) will also have plenty of treats to keep you fed and watered.
And for the second year running, Blossom By Light will return. This after-dark event (from September 19-22) will see the orchard transformed into an enchanting display of light and colour. Think of it as your chance to see the cherry blossoms illuminated in a way you'd never expect.
Conveniently located just an hour from the Melbourne CBD, the CherryHill Blossom Festival is on from September to October 5. Find out more and grab your tickets via the website.
