Pear picking near Sydney

Pear picking near Sydney means heading to Bilpin, the orchard village tucked into the Hawkesbury foothills about 90 minutes north-west along the Bells Line of Road. The pear harvest here typically runs from February to April, peaking in March, which makes it a good excuse for an autumn drive once the peak summer stone fruit crowds have thinned out. Pine Crest Orchard is a good starting point, with no entrance fee at all, just pay for what you pick at the gate. Other local growers, including Bilpin Springs Orchard and 4 Winds Farm, charge a small per-person fee, typically around $5, that covers entry and a picking container. Expect working orchards rather than manicured attractions, and cash is handy even where card payment is accepted.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I pick pears near Sydney?

Bilpin, in the Hawkesbury foothills about 90 minutes north-west of the CBD, is the destination for pear picking near Sydney. Pine Crest Orchard, Bilpin Springs Orchard and 4 Winds Farm all grow pears alongside apples and stone fruit, so it's worth checking each farm's current picking list before you drive out.

How far is pear picking from Sydney?

Bilpin sits about a 90-minute drive north-west of the Sydney CBD, mostly along the Bells Line of Road through the Hawkesbury. It's a comfortable day trip, and the drive itself, climbing into the foothills past roadside fruit stalls, is part of the appeal for families with kids in the car.

When can you pick pears near Sydney?

Bilpin's pear season typically runs from February to April, with March usually the peak. That's a little later than the district's peaches and nectarines, so pears are a good reason to plan a second Bilpin trip once the main summer stone fruit rush has eased off. Call ahead to confirm current ripeness.

Do you need to book pear picking near Sydney?

No booking is generally required. Pine Crest Orchard charges no entrance fee and simply weighs what you pick, while Bilpin Springs Orchard and 4 Winds Farm ask for a small entry fee, around $5 per person, paid on arrival. It's still worth a quick call to check opening days before setting out.
