10:00 AM to 12:30 PM

Embark on a delightful paddock-to-plate journey at Hillside Harvest Orchard.

Guided by the grower, participants will wander through rows of apple trees, discovering where the apples destined for their homemade pies are grown. Take in the charm of the orchard, whilst gaining insights into the art of apple cultivation and learn why the region is known as Australia's Fruit Basket.

The experience continues with a hands-on pie-making workshop using fresh, local ingredients - most importantly, apples picked straight from the orchard. Hillside Harvest's baker will lead the group through the process of crafting the perfect pastry and preparing a rich, aromatic apple filling, sharing a few insider tips along the way to elevate every pie.

At the heart of the workshop is Grandma's cherished recipe - a tribute to the warmth and tradition of homemade pies. Guests will uncover nostalgic flavours that have stood the test of time, creating a pie that honours the past while celebrating the harvest of the present.

To finish, everyone will enjoy a slice of Grandma's pie served with a dollop of cream and a comforting cup of tea or coffee. Take home your handcrafted pie, perfect for sharing with family and friends.
