What to expect

You'll begin with a scenic helicopter flight taking in sprawling vineyard rows and dramatic rangeland. Once landed at Kies, the family guides you through their barrel hall for a seated tasting of their single-estate releases, paired with a Barossa produce board. Lunch follows in the café—expect local cheeses, cured meats, and seasonal fare with unobstructed views across the valley. The winery tour covers their growing and production methods. Your return flight departs from the cellar door, offering a different vantage of the landscape you've just explored below.

Good to know

Helicopter transfers to/from the helipad aren't included—arrange separately. Lunch drinks (wine and otherwise) are at your own cost. You can purchase extra bottles to be shipped home after your visit. The experience suits all fitness levels.
