Couples Romantic Picnic: Barossa Valley Helicopter Flight & Wine

5.0(3)2 h 30 minFree cancellationBy Barossa Helicopters

About this activity

Fly over the Barossa Valley in a private helicopter, then land on a hilltop for a romantic picnic for two. Lift off from Barossa Helicopters in Lyndoch in a Robinson R44, just the two of you and your pilot.

The 10-minute scenic flight crosses the southern Barossa vineyards, over Jacob's Creek, Lyndoch and the Whispering Wall. Then touch down on a private hill in the Hoffnungsthal Valley, on the family's 400-acre property, with 360-degree views.

Your picnic is set up and waiting: cushioned seating, a gourmet platter of cheese, fruit, nuts, meats and biscuits, and a bottle of Shiraz, sparkling or white. The helicopter then flies you back to base. About 2 hours, daily at 12 noon.

One price covers you both, and you can upgrade to a 20 or 30-minute flight if you also want to. Barossa Helicopters is South Australia's longest-running helicopter company, flying the Barossa since the mid-1980s.
