Wandin Yallock Farms

Wandin Yallock Farms runs its raspberry u-pick behind Warratina Lavender Farm on Quayle Road at Wandin Yallock, which makes for one of the Yarra Valley's more charming double acts: pick soil-grown raspberries, then wander the lavender rows and finish with scones at the tea rooms.

What You Can Pick

• Raspberries - February and March, eat as many as you like while picking; take-home fruit is $9.90 per 500g punnet

Activities

• Warratina Lavender Farm - tea rooms and lavender gift shop at the entrance
• Pram-friendly rows right behind the tea rooms

Good to Know

Entry has recently been around $15 for adults and $10 for children (4-12, under 4 free, family passes available) including punnets; confirm current pricing before visiting. Open Wednesday to Sunday, roughly 10am-4pm in season, walk-up with no bookings. The late-summer season is short, so follow their Facebook for crop updates before making the trip. Raspberry picking here is deliberately low-key: soil-grown canes at a comfortable height, punnets supplied, and rows compact enough for toddlers to manage. The lavender farm entrance adds a gift shop and tea rooms to the visit, and the two experiences together fill a relaxed half day in the Yarra Valley.

Pro tip: this is the rare autumn raspberry fix after most berry farms have wound down.
