After departing from our home base in the peaceful Hoffnungsthal Valley, it’s time to relax and take in the gorgeous sights and surrounds as you enjoy the beautiful scenic helicopter flight northeast over Rowland Flat, home of Pernod Ricard Wine Makers, where some of Australia’s largest wine tanks are located and where St Hugo and Jacob’s Creek wines are produced.
Spend some time marvelling over the fact that these tanks hold up to 1.4 million litres of WINE before you get a stunning bird’s eye view of the southern end of the Barossa. Descending for our landing at St Hugo Cellar Door and Restaurant where one of your ‘selected’ amazing wine & food experiences will begin.
​
The St Hugo chefs use regional and local, seasonal produce, most of which is sourced from our onsite Kitchen Garden, to create flavoursome, relaxed food to delight and entice their guests alongside perfectly matched, powerful and elegant St Hugo wines.
​
After you have over indulged, it’s time to re-board the helicopter, we encourage you to sit back and enjoy the flight as we take you past the quaint town of Lyndoch, over the Barossa Goldfields and the Whispering Wall following up stream to the South Para Reservoirs before returning to our base via Williamstown, capturing a perfect view of the idyllic southern Barossa Ranges.
