Celeb like entry to a winery!

Phillipa 9 September 2020

After receiving this Red Balloon gift for Christmas from my son, we decided to use it for my birthday celebration at the end of August. The flight in to the winery was awesome and we felt like celebs arriving. The wine tasting ensued then followed with a picnic lunch in the vines or on a wooden platform at Ivanhoe Wines. An umbrella would have been ideal out on the deck as it was very hot in the valley that day. The cheese and antipasto platter was the picnic and was well presented and high quality. You were able to choose a bottle of wine to go with the picnic, which was great. The total flight time was barely 15 minutes with a direct flight back that took less than 4 minutes.

Helicopter and picnic

Jamie 26 July 2020

One very amazing experience would love to do it again. To start with I’m petrified of heights but wasn’t scared at all in the helicopter it was amazing. Pilot was really nice very helpful pointing places out for us to see. Went to the beautiful Ivenhoe winery people there we are just beautiful lovely wine tasting then got our beautiful picnic hamper or two that was full with beautiful bread cold meats cheeses dips yummy. Then sat on the grass in the sun with our bottle of wine. Then Helicopter took us back to where we started. Amazing experience 10/10 all around best gift we got for our wedding present thanks again guys

Absolutely Perfect

Kate 29 June 2020

I could not have asked for a better experience, our pilot Oliver was wonderful and we were so lucky to have such beautiful weather, the wine tasting and picnic at Ivanhoe was fantastic staff were lovely to deal with (although some crackers in the hamper would have been appreciated)

Amazing experience!!

Zoe 5 January 2020

Our pilot was fantastic our indulged all my husband questions about flying. The flight itself was breath taking. Being greeted with champagne on our arrival at Audrey Wilkinson made us feel very important. This was followed by a private wine tasting in a separate room to the tasting bar. We loved the reds & ended up buying a case to take home. Would highly recommend!!

An amazing experience

Flying over The Hunter

Bill 4 March 2019

Fantastic experience. The flight gave us a different perspective of the valley and the Gardens. The wine tasting was a broad variety of wines and the picnic was perfectly suited after wine tasting
