The CherryHill Blossom Festival Turns Cherry Field into Fairytale Land

Melbourne’s CherryHill Blossom Festival Returns: A Dreamy Wonderland in Yarra Valley

When I arrived at CherryHill Blossom Festival, it felt as if I was in a dreamland. Beyond the vast, breathtaking fields of white blossoms, the festival is a full-sensory journey with something for everyone. From sipping on delicious cherry cocktails and enjoying live music to exploring the after-dark wonders of Blossom by Light and discovering one-of-a-kind souvenirs, I found myself completely captivated at every turn. A day that made me fall in love with spring all over again.

Cherry Blossoms Fused with a Sensory Experience

With a cool breeze and the subtle scent of cherry blossoms in the air, I was instantly drawn to the curated cherry cocktails. A unique creation that pays homage to the orchard. From a tangy Cherry Negroni to a refreshing Cherry Vodka, each drink was elevated with the special addition of a cherry blossom flower. Massive charcuterie boards and freshly plucked oysters perfectly complemented the evening ahead. Furthermore, the classical violin music created a cozy atmosphere that made me feel like I was in a fantasy novel brought to life.

An After Dark Cherry Blossom Festival

As the sun began to set, The Blossom by Light display began to glow, and the darkness only made the experience richer. The lights created a magical, almost exquisite aura, turning the fields into a vibrant wonderland that I never wanted to leave. It was a unique way to experience nature’s beauty in a breathtaking Melbourne light festival.

The evening was even more special with sitting arrangements for family and friends to enjoy the landscape beside the fireplace and long conversations. Above all, it was a delight to sit by the fire, embrace the warmth with cherry soft serve and tasty marshmallows while admiring the changing lights of the blossom beneath a sky full of stars.

My Must-Have Souvenirs from the CherryHill Blossom Festival

Beyond the enchanting cherry blossoms and delicious food, I discovered the exclusive goodies that you can take home. It’s impossible to resist the adorable, cherry-themed merchandise that captures the festival’s magic! 

Below are some of the goodies you can buy exclusively during you visit!

  • Heart-Shaped Cherry Glasses: You cannot leave without a pair of these super cute, heart-shaped glasses. They’re the perfect accessory for a sunny day and a great memento of the festival.
  • Cute Cherry Bottle & Cherry Juice: The little bottles with a cherry design are my absolute favourite! They are perfect for staying hydrated, and filled with delicious cherry juice, they’re a refreshing treat. Grab them before they are gone!
  • Cherry Blossom Fan & Hat: These fans and hats are a must-have for a sunny day, and they will keep you cool and stylish.
  • Adorable Cherry Plushies: These are the sweetest little keepsakes and a perfect reminder of the day spent in the orchards.
  • Cherry Jams, Spreads & Sauces: My personal favourite! These delicious spreads are perfect for on-the-go snacking and make any toast taste like a dream.
  • Cherry Homeware: Make your bath and homeware cherry themed with the home and bath essentials.
  • Cherry Earrings: How could I resist these?! These delicate earrings are the perfect way to add a subtle touch of festival charm to any outfit.

Why Visit CherryHill Blossom Festival?

The experience invites you to escape the everyday and immerse yourself in a world of beauty. The journey from the serene, sun-drenched landscape of white cherry blossoms to the dazzling, illuminated fields as dusk falls is a memory you will cherish.

Beyond the magical sight of the blossoms, a visit to CherryHill Orchards is an invitation to experience a world of unique moments. While the daytime festival is a delight for the eyes and the senses, the enchanting Blossom by Light experience takes things to a new level, transforming the orchard into a mesmerising wonderland after dusk. You can even take to the skies with the Blossom & Ballooning package for a sunrise hot air balloon flight over the breathtaking Yarra Valley and get spectacular views of the Yarra Valley.

And the excitement doesn’t stop with the blossoms! As the seasons change, you can return to the orchard for a classic cherry-picking experience, picking your own sweet, juicy fruit straight from the tree during the summer.

To create your own unforgettable moments this spring, head to the CherryHill Orchards website to book your tickets today!

For the best experience, arrive 30 to 45 minutes before sunset to catch golden hour, settle in with a drink, and be ready when the blossoms begin to glow.
