After departing from our home base in
the peaceful Hoffnungsthal Valley, it’s time to relax and take in the gorgeous
sights and surrounds as you enjoy the beautiful scenic helicopter flight
northeast over Rowland Flat, home of Jacob’s Creek Winery, where some of
Australia’s largest wine tanks are located. A stunning bird’s eye view of the
southern end of the Barossa. Landing you on the top of a beautiful hill.
1837 Barossa holds a rich historical presence. Colonel William Light
stands proudly on the site to commemorate the birthplace of Barossa Valley – A
tribute to which 1837 wine makers dedicate their wines year after year.
Arriving at the 1837 Barossa helipad a 1837 Barossa staff will guide you
to the Col. Light Monument and you can enjoy the full 360-degree views from the
historic point, which commemorates the birthplace of the Barossa. You will be
able to walk the art trail which allows you to take pictures of the many
colourful sculptures, which includes the “Wings of Barossa” where you can pose
as an angel between two giant wings that overlook the vineyards. Arriving at
exclusive 1837 Barossa Pavilion your will be greeted with a welcome drink. You
will watch a movie about the history off the Barossa, which is followed by
guided vineyard walk, where you learn all about grape growing. If seasons
permits, you will be able to sample some grapes. Back in the exclusive Pavilion
you will receive an introduction in winemaking, and you will learn how to taste
wine like a professional. The wine experience will then be crowned by a tasting
of 8 wines, which will include the reserve range.
After the wine experience you will be
guided to the [email protected] restaurant on the picturesque estate. The restaurant
boasts a spectacular view over the Barossa and a staff will seat you at the
best place in the house (weather depending) where you can sip and graze the day
away!
Once it is time to go, back in the helicopter, sit back and enjoy the
flight as we take you past the quaint town of Lyndoch, over the Barossa
Goldfields and the Whispering Wall following up stream to the South Para
