What to expect

Fly to the vines on a Helicopter Wine Tour. Start your day being met by the helicopter company at your Queenstown accommodation and enjoy a scenic helicopter flight, landing on a mountaintop for a glass of bubbles. From here you will land in the Gibbston wine region, home to award-winning winemakers, stunning scenery and, of course, delicious Pinot Noir.

After your helicopter flight, meet your guide and be hosted across four separate wine tasting experiences, including a tour of the underground wine cave at Gibbston Valley Winery. Your Altitude Tours guide and thecellar door staff will entertain you with local winemaking information, and you also have the option of indulging in a delicious lunch at a local winery (an additional cost that is ordered on the day).
