Take a Heli Tours Heli Wine Flight to Mt Difficulty

Coming into the autumn months, Heli Tours find that their Heli Wine Flights to Mt Difficulty are extremely popular, so people need to book to make sure of a place on this exceptional trip. Heli Tours’ exclusive Heli Wine Flight takes guests for a scenic flight over the Gibbston Valley, towards Cromwell and Bannockburn, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the western and central areas of Central Otago, and a bird’s eye view of many of the region’s wineries and vineyards before landing at Mt Difficulty restaurant to enjoy a luxury lunch and award wines.

 

New Zealand’s highest wine region, Central Otago, is also the most southern wine region on earth, situated at latitude 45º south.  The region, made up of six sub-regions, is ringed by mountains and interlaced with lakes and deep river gorges making it one of New Zealand’s most spectacular vineyard settings.  The mostly glacially derived soils are ideally suited to Pinot Noir, which makes up 80% of the plantings in the region.  Though the wine industry is young by worldwide standards, the wines of Central Otago are becoming increasingly popular worldwide and are winning international awards.

 

Mt Difficulty’s outstanding cellar door and restaurant opened in February 2003, and the facility has gained quite a reputation for the majestic views and stylish yet uncomplicated cuisine.  It is the most perfect setting to sample their award winning wines, and their executive chef’s fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. 

 

Heli Tours ‘Mountain Chef’ tour provides a private Kiwi-style BBQ lunch cooked by your own private chef at a unique back country cabin or hut, where you can take in the scenery while tasting the best New Zealand has to offer. Mountain chef is a great add-on to Heli Tours’ Milford and farm tour experiences and has become very popular. They will arrange the whole day including food, wine and transfers, so to find out about their bespoke tours, please visit the website today at http://www.helitours.co.nz .
