Barossa Valley Deluxe: 30-Minute Helicopter Flight
Overview
Lifting off from the heli-pad in the Hoffnungsthal Valley, enjoy flying past Lyndoch before tracking along the western ridge of the Barossa to Historic Seppeltsfield. Here you will see vineyards contouring the rolling hills, palm tree studded roads. From there you will fly over Maggie Beer’s farm and the famous Penfold’s Winery before veering along the eastern side of Nuriootpa, around the Wolf Blass winery, and then the view of large limestone quarry near the town of Angaston. A little further on you will get a bird’s eye view of one of the most beautiful horse racing studs in south Australia.
As you descend into the valley towards Tanunda, your pilot will point out some of the historic buildings and settlements like Chateau Tanunda and Bethany.
Beyond Tanunda is home of Jacobs Creek. From there we take you to the southern end of the Barossa, past Lyndoch, over the Barossa Goldfields and the Whispering Wall (the Barossa reservoir) before finally returning to the Hoffnungsthal Valley.

The helicopter flight was for my wife's 70th Birthday. Safey-Safety-Safety! This thrilling 30-minute helicopter flight whisks you up from the helipad on a rural property, nestled in the Hoffnungsthal Valley. Through the State-of-the-art Robinson R44 Helicopter's windows, we gained a remarkable panoramic view of the Barossa Valley from the flying height of approximately 300m (1,000ft). We experienced a number of 'Gilt-edge' wineries all without moving our feet or getting our lips wet, enroute to the Whispering Wall at Williamstown. This is the perfect scenic tour for those who want to see the vastness of the Barossa Valley, wineries, and topograhy of the valley floor with lush green vineyards, in a limited amount of time and narrated by the pilot to boot. From the time we moved away from reception area to boarding the helicopter, then disembarking flowing the flight, client safety was paramount. Thank you Barossa Valley Helicopter Flights for a most memorable safe event.JohnS15799

Together with my wife and daughter, we went for a 30 minute flight and it was fantastic, the whole process of booking with Barossa Helicopters (Sandra), to checking on to the fantastic flight (Billie) and a chatting with all before and afterwards. Our weather was absolutely perfect. Our pilot, Peter (aka Goose) was able to impart vast knowledge regarding every aspect of the Valley. Very educational yet entertaining. Highly recommended!! You will love it. Thank you guys!!Ailsa B

You don't turn 40 every day and so my wife booked us on the 30 minute Barossa Valley flight. What a great experience flying up and down the valleys and over huge Wine estates. Some of those vineyards are massive. The flight experience is comfortable and the safety of passengers paramount so on arrival you watch a safety video and are supported to board the chopper safely. Once in you fly over some of the most magnificent scenery and get a sense of how big some of these wine businesses are. Would have liked a bit more of commentary about the history of the Barossa and the winery's we saw rather than just a point and name guide.
