What to expect
You'll be briefed and weighed at Cessnock airfield before boarding your helicopter. The 30-minute flight traces the contours of Hunter Valley's wine estates—you'll spot terraced vineyards, dams, and the valley floor beneath you. Landing is smooth and disorienting in the best way. Then it's straight to lunch: three courses, wine pairings available, proper plating and service. The transition from altitude to table happens quickly, so expect a slight mental shift.
