Queenstown Helicopter Wine Tour
Fly to the vines with Altitude Tours on a Helicopter Wine Tour.
Start your day being met by the helicopter company at your Queenstown accommodation and enjoy a scenic helicopter flight giving you aerial views of the stunning vines and famous wine-growing region, before landing on a mountaintop for a glass of bubbles (sparkling wine).
Your helicopter will land at your first cellar door where you will meet your guide and be hosted across four separate tasting experiences, including a tour of the Gibbston Valley Winery wine cave. Throughout the day you will be entertained with local winemaking facts and stories, and you also have the option of indulging in a delicious lunch at a local winery (additional cost ordered on the day).
This helicopter wine tour is all about taking a regular wine-tasting journey to new heights and pairing good wine and good people, tasting the best wines produced in New Zealand, including our world-famous Pinot Noir.
