A November Weekend in the Cherry Country
There is a particular pleasure in finding your own cherries beneath the leaves. A warm morning, a little shade, a punnet slowly filling — and someone beside you insisting they have found the sweetest ones.
For a few short weeks in November, the Eastern Free State invites you into that rhythm. Make Wyndford your base and a visit to the orchards becomes a proper break: time out in the cherry country, good meals back at the farm and the mountains waiting when you return.
Bring the people you want more time with
Cherry picking gives everyone something to do together. Children look for fruit within reach, parents pause for photographs and grandparents join in at their own pace. There is room for a family gathering, a trip with friends or a few quiet days away as a couple.
Choose how you get here
If you would like the journey arranged, Wyndford’s guided Cherry Weekend Tour runs from Thursday to Sunday throughout November 2026. Travel by bus from Pretoria or Bloemfontein, stay at Wyndford and visit cherry farms as part of the guided weekend.
Prefer to take your own car? A two- or three-night self-drive stay gives you another way to make time for the season. Ask the team about the arrangements for orchard visits and the rate for your chosen dates before booking.
Come back to the farm
The orchards are only part of the pleasure. Back at Wyndford, there is a meal to sit down to and time to talk about the day. If you feel like stretching your legs, add a walk in the mountains. Or simply let the afternoon unfold without another stop to rush to.
