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 :)

My wife and I went to Black Estate Vineyard for a heli-lunch as a special occasion. Garden City Helicopters staff and our great pilot John looked after us fabulously well. The wines and food were awesome! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend to anyone wanting something special to remember….well worth it and would do again in a heartbeat.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

We are glad that you and your wife had an unforgettable special time on your Heli winery lunch at Black Estate. I can highly recommend trying our Between the Vines North Canterbury winery tour for another special occasion. Thank you for your review Craig.
