Flight Meeting Location

Balgownie Estate – 1309 Melba Hwy, Yarra Glen VIC 3775 (Meet inside 1309 Restaurant)

 

Cherry-Picking Location

The picking location will depend on the booking date, as both orchards harvest at different times. If both locations have cherries available at the time of the booking, guests can choose their preferred location. However, if only one location has cherries ready for picking, you will need to attend that specific orchard.

Forecasted harvest dates are as follows:

  • Coldstream: 2nd November – 24th December 2024
  • Wandin: 25th November 2024 – 5th January 2025

As always, dates are subject to mother nature.

  • This package is strictly non-refundable.
  • Valid for adult tickets only for public flight bookings between: 2nd Nov – 5th Jan, 2025 to receive a complimentary cherry-picking Ticket. You will be emailed your cherry-picking ticket direct from CherryHill after booking via the Global Ballooning website.
  • The Global Ballooning offer is not valid in conjunction with any other offer, promotion or package.
