What to expect

Enjoy an unforgettable and surreal experience that will see you, firstly, lift off from the tranquil Hoffnungsthal Valley by helicopter for a breathtaking flight northeast over Rowland Flat, home of Jacob’s Creek Winery.

Relax in comfort and take in the beautiful scenery and live narration from your pilot, for the journey, as you see where some of Australia’s largest wine tanks are located - these tanks hold up to 1.4 million litres of WINE!

From there your flight will take you to the southern end of the Barossa, past the quaint town of Lyndoch, over the Barossa Goldfields and the Whispering Wall which has real acoustic abilities and holds back the Barossa Reservoir, before returning to our base in the Hoffnungsthal Valley.
