Overview
Increase your capacity for wonder with an incredible behind the scenes experience in an atmospheric winery, accompanied by indulgent wine and food tastings and a spectacular helicopter flight over the breathtaking Barossa Valley.
As you soar over this sensational landscape, you’ll look down over the vineyards of some of the world’s most famous wine producers, nestled within the blissful embrace of the Barossa Valley ranges. Your helicopter tour will have you in high spirits well before your elegant arrival at the entrance to Kies Family Wines, where an unforgettable and indulgent experience awaits.
The history of the Kies family is celebrated in Lyndoch, a German hamlet in the Barossa Valley where they’ve been cultivating a flourishing crop of grapes ever since the 1860s. Your warm welcome will begin with a tour of the Kies Family Wines estate, including the state-of-the-art wine making facility and atmospheric barrel hall. You’ll be shown the old Shiraz vines so celebrated on the estate whilst staff reveal insights into the sustainable and minimally interventional practices.
To top off the tour, you’ll savor a tasting of two sumptuous wines as you gather amidst the French and American Oak barrels used to mature the premium Barossa Valley Shiraz. These wines are single-vineyard products, grown right here on the estate, and your wine guide will select a wine perfectly suited to accompany your first lunch course - the blissful Barossa Valley Produce Platter.
Savor your scrumptious second course at the cozy Kies Family Wines Cafe, enjoying exceptional views of the beautiful Barossa Ranges from your seat. Once wonderfully full, you’ll discover the Kies Family Wine cellar for a cellar door tasting you’ll reflect on for years to come.
Your helicopter will be waiting for you right outside the cellar door, so you can depart in ultimate style. Your spectacular scenic tour will take you over the breathtaking Barossa Goldfields and the wonderful Whispering Wall, and will land you back in the beautiful Hoffnungsthal Valley, full of wonder, and excellent wine!
