About This Experience

The landing is the party trick: the helicopter sets down within 20 metres of the Barossa Valley Chocolate Company's entrance, on the northern side of Tanunda. Getting there is half the show — lifting off from the Hoffnungsthal Valley, tracking the western ridge past historic Seppeltsfield's contoured vineyards and palm-lined roads, then past Maggie Beer's farm and the famous Penfolds winery on descent. Lunch is an indulgent feast of steak or seafood with a glass of wine, followed by five house-made chocolates matched with the Chocolate Company's very own Vineyard Road wines. The return flight skirts Tanunda's iconic historic buildings, passes Jacob's Creek Winery — tanks holding up to 1.4 million litres each — then crosses the Barossa Goldfields and the Whispering Wall before descending into the Hoffnungsthal Valley. • Approx. 25 minutes in the helicopter, to and from the door • High life lunch — steak or seafood — with a glass of wine • Five house-made chocolates matched with Vineyard Road wines Extra drinks, take-home wine and transfers to the helipad aren't included. Pick-up is available from selected Barossa accommodation. Weight restrictions apply — passengers are weighed on the day, and guests over 130kg cannot fly. Wednesday to Sunday, 11:30am; 4–4.5 hours for 2 guests, $1,480 total.
