For lovers of New World wine, visiting Australia's oldest wine region - the Hunter Valley (170 km from Sydney) - by helicopter will be one of the most memorable experiences of your trip to Australia.

What could compare to a scenic helicopter flight over multifaceted Sydney, with breathtaking views from the ocean coastline to the mountains, and the world-famous Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge?

During this 50-minute helicopter tour you'll fly over Sydney Harbour with its many bays and green islands, golden beaches and the wild ocean, the rainforests of its national parks, and the picturesque foothills and well-tended vineyards of the Hunter Valley.

The idyllic scenery of the vineyards, the refined taste of the wines at the tastings, the artful presentation of the dishes, the chef's skill, and a warm welcome at one of the boutique wineries will create a cosy, celebratory lunch atmosphere and introduce you to the region's finest wines.

The helicopter tour program includes (5 hours):

• Group transfers from your hotel to the helipad near Sydney Airport and back
• Refreshments before and after the flights
• 50-minute scenic flights over Sydney and its picturesque surrounds to the Hunter wine region and back
• Landing at two wineries
• Wine tasting
• Lunch at a premium restaurant (three courses + a bottle of wine for 2 people)

Optionally, a private guide in Sydney can join you as interesting company and introduce you to the history of winemaking in Australia.
