Blossom Festival

Overall, felt a bit overrated and crowded. Might be a different experience when the cherries are there.

What a beautiful day to enjoy the cherry blossom festival in Wandin East with my wife! We had so much fun walking among the pink and white flowers, taking photos, and tasting some delicious food from the stalls. The weather was sunny and warm, perfect for a romantic date. Unfortunately the cafe experience was disappointing as there was a lot of confusion when lining up to be served for coffee or ice cream. Having no signs also meant that the service was slow and I waited 30 minutes for a cup of a horrible bitter coffee. The overall experience was fantastic! I highly recommend going in the 9 am session as there aren't many visitors during that time and it gives you a great opportunity to peacefully enjoy the beautiful flowers, amazing views and take Instagram photos. The place was swamped around 10 am. Was very hard to find a place to sit or even take a decent photo.

Last minute decision to attend, booking 9: 00am tickets only half an hour before we left home! We don't live far so this was no problem. Ended up staying until 2: 00pm, had a wonder around the orchard, before planking ourselves on a rug in the shade, not far from the live music.

It was an overall wonderful experience, from the array of food trucks, to the beverages (highly recommend the cherry seltzer) to the chill music played by Glen Wee, all in an idyllic setting, looking out over the orchard to nearby hills and distant mountains.

It's great you must pre book your tickets, which caps the visitors so it didn't feel overly crowded. Everyone seemed to be in happy mood, with families, couples, groups of friends and pooches enjoying the day.

We'll be going again.

Well done Cherry Hill.

Great blossoms this year! Really great family event! The only bad thing is wait on cherry icecream! Took us 1 hour to get one scoop. They really need to speed up. Wasted precious time for icecream!

Big orchard with lots of space and various trees blooming at different times. Friendlt staff. Love the live music and that I could bring my dog along this year! Can't wait to be back to pick cherries in November.

A nice place to see cherry blossoms. You can buy drinks and food there, you could take your picnic basket and blanket and sit among the cherry trees, relax and enjoy the spring. They allow dogs to enter. The facility is good. The blossom wasn't as good as I expected though.

The blossoms are stunning, staff super friendly!
Ice cream and blossom gin a must when visiting the festival:)
