Quench your thirst with AscendAdelaide, Australia

Ready two sip, swirl and soar? That was a rhetorical question, of course you are. Introducing Ascend, Adelaide’s most indulgent winery tour (and the one where your ‘designated driver’ is actually a ‘designated pilot’). Forget about cramped buses or tedious road trips; this is how the wine gods intended you to travel.

Your journey kicks off at Oliver’s Taranga in McLaren Vale, where you’ll feel oh-so-fancy sipping on their finest drops while pretending to know what ‘terroir’ means. Then, it’s time to board your private chopper. Yes, chopper. Cue the dramatic selfies as you hover over rolling vineyards en route to Golding Wines in the Adelaide Hills. Here, a leisurely lunch awaits; think gourmet delights paired with wines so good, you’ll want to send a thank you note to the winemaker.

And just when you think the day can’t get any better, it’s back to the skies for a scenic flight to Kimbolton Wines in Langhorne Creek. With its stunning views and delectable drops, it’s the cherry on top of your aerial adventure.

Finally, you’ll glide back to McLaren Vale, feeling like a millionaire on holiday (minus the pesky paparazzi). In case you need it spelt out, this is more than a wine tour - it’s a bucket list experience wrapped in luxury, sprinkled with adventure, and topped with a side of helicopter-induced smugness.

Cheers to living your best life - at 2,000 feet.

This experience runs 7 days a week, operating once daily. While they do their best to operate on the planned schedule, they cannot guarantee if mother nature has other plans. But there are weather impact conditions, refunds and postponement options.
