What to Expect
Enjoy the ultimate Barossa Valley experience - a chocolate factory tour via helicopter! Feel like a rock star as you float over the rolling green hills and vineyards of the Western Ridge, gaining a unique perspective of this world-renowned wine region, before arriving in style at Barossa Valley Chocolate Company for an indulgent lunch, wine and chocolate experience. Enjoy having the helicopter exclusively for your group as all tours are private for 2-3 people.
Departing the Hoffnungsthal Valley, fly over the quaint township of Lyndoch, tracking along the western ridge of the Barossa Valley towards Historic Seppeltsfield Winery taking in views of contouring vineyards and palm tree-studded roads. Continue towards Nuriootpa, where your pilot will point out the famous Maggie Beer’s Farm and Penfold’s Winery, before descending into Barossa Valley Chocolate Company to land within 20m of the entrance!
Here you will enjoy a taste of the high life with an indulgent lunch of steak or seafood, featuring produce sourced locally from some favourite Barossan suppliers and surrounding regions. To top this off, your lunch will be followed by a tasting of five house-made chocolates, matched with their very own Vineyard Road wines.
After overindulging, re-board the helicopter and continue your scenic journey along the outskirts of Tanunda, taking in the views of some of the Barossa’s beautiful historic buildings. Flying further south you will enjoy a view over iconic Jacob’s Creek Winery, home of some of the largest wine tanks in Australia, holding up to 1.4 million litres of wine! From there your flight takes you to the southern end of the Barossa, over the Barossa Goldfields and the Whispering Wall, before returning finally to our base.
Throughout your flight, enjoy live commentary from your experienced pilot as you learn all of the interesting facts and stories of the Barossa. Be sure to bring your camera as this unforgettable experience provides many amazing photo opportunities.
