While spring may still be a little way off, the Yarra Valley upcoming Cherry Hill Blossom Festival is a welcome reminder that warmer, sunnier days are just around the corner. In fact, we feel cherry-er already. 

The Cherry Hill Blossom Festival will be held at Cherry Hill Orchards in Victoria’s Yarra Valley from September 18 through to October 3 this year.

Along with the non-stop cottagecore ~ vibes ~ there’ll be live music, craft stalls, lawn games, on-site food trucks and plenty of cherry themed treats like cherry ice-cream and drinks.

This year, there’s also several optional extras which you can add while booking your tickets. 

If you’re feeling particularly extra, you can always book a Posh Picnic, which includes your own private row of cherry blossoms, along with a fully catered food and beverage package.

Romantics might like to savour a sunrise Yarra Valley ballooning experience, prior to the festival. There’s even a special one-hour photographic walking tour, in partnership with Nikon. 

And if the Tokyo Olympics have left you hanging for a taste of hanami season at home, you can even add Uminono premium sushi and sashimi boxes.
