Experience the ultimate in luxury, wine, and scenic beauty with this exclusive private helicopter tour in Queenstown. Top of the Wine offers a high-end adventure crafted for travelers who demand the extraordinary. Indulge in breathtaking aerial views, gourmet delights, and world-class wines, all in one unforgettable journey through Otago’s famed wine country.
Your experience begins with a private helicopter flight from Queenstown, offering jaw-dropping views of Lake Wakatipu, the Remarkables, and surrounding alpine peaks. Touch down at a secluded alpine location, reserved exclusively for you. Raise a glass of champagne while admiring the untouched landscapes of New Zealand’s South Island from a vantage point few ever see.
Next, your private helicopter tour continues to visit up to two or three of Central Otago’s most prestigious wineries. Each stop promises expertly crafted vintages, behind-the-scenes insights, and a chance to sample some of New Zealand’s most awarded wines. This is wine tasting at its most elevated—both figuratively and literally.
Included in your adventure is a gourmet cheeseboard paired with champagne, served at altitude, for a decadent interlude between tastings. Alternatively, choose to dine at one of the wineries (at your own expense) for a locally inspired lunch that perfectly complements your wine selections.
