Ray and Rach 2 November 2024

Our beautiful children surprised us for our 40th wedding anniversary with a helicopter ride to and from de bortolli wines for a three course lunch. Absolutely amazing experience. We were a little apprehensive about the helicopter ride as we've never done it before but it was anything but scary. We felt privileged to have a great pilot like John, a real gentleman. The De bortolli 3 course lunch did not disappointment. Our waitress was lovely, knowledgeable and down to earth. Would highly recommend.

My husband surprised me for our 10 year anniversary. We had the best day. The food and drinks at the winery were delicious. Our pilot John was amazing. So friendly and knowledgeable. Our original date was postponed because of high wind. So glad we took Johns advice and rescheduled. The weather was perfect which made the helicopter ride really comfortable. Would highly recommend.
