CherryHill Orchards (Coldstream & Wandin) is the ultimate summer family outing, where rows upon rows of cherry trees signal that Christmas is on its way. After checking in, families hop aboard a mini bus to the best picking spots of the day, learn how to choose the juiciest deep-red cherries, then set off filling buckets (and bellies). You pay by weight at the end, with up to two hours in the orchard—though most families are happily done much sooner—before heading back to the main area for cherry-themed treats, must-try cherry ice cream, picnic spaces, giant lawn games and a classic tractor ride that rounds out this sweet seasonal adventure.
