Experience the heart and flavour of country New South Wales on this delightful four-day escape to the Young Cherry Festival, where orchards burst with summer fruit and the town comes alive with festival charm. Known as Australia’s cherry capital, Young blends rich agriculture with a proud gold-rush heritage, charming streetscapes and warm hospitality. As the festival unfolds, visitors can enjoy fresh cherries straight from the orchard, explore artisan stalls, and soak up the friendly country atmosphere. With 4-star accommodation at the Young Federation Motor Inn and hearty breakfasts and dinners included, this relaxed getaway offers comfort, community and a true taste of regional life.

Across four days, we explore the best of the region—from the famous “Bill the Bastard” sculpture in Harden to Cootamundra’s Captains Walk and the peaceful Lambing Flat Tribute Gardens. Tasting experiences abound, with stops at Poppas Fudge Factory, the Junee Licorice & Chocolate Factory, and a picnic lunch and wine tasting at Grove Estate. Scenic touring continues through the National Trust village of Carcoar, the award-winning Cowra Japanese Gardens, and the POW Theatre and Olympic Park Rose Garden. With Bathurst and the Blue Mountains rounding out the journey, this tour offers a wonderfully balanced mix of food, history, scenery and festival fun.
