Truly exceptional and exquisite from start to finish. The helicopter company was super-friendly, responding to all my inquiries instantly. The helicopter facility at the airport is world-class. Our pilot Matt was friendly and masterful, and the vineyard experience (Greystone) was peerless including a delicious long lunch, epic scenery, and incredible wines. Wineries via helicopter: the only way to go :)

Amazing experience Simply the best! Garden City Helicopters flight and vineyard lunch. Our pilot Matt was helpful, fun, kind and knowledgeable. The reception staff were amazing. The food and wine match at Terrace Edge was delicious and so was their olive oil. Lunch at Black Estate was yummy and their staff welcoming and friendly.

My husband arranged this as a birthday treat, I haven't stopped raving about it since!
