What to expect - The ultimate helicopter winery tour in the Yarra Valley wine region
Experience a 25 minute scenic helicopter flight from Melbourne to the Hubert Estate winery. The scenic helicopter flight from Melbourne is a serene experience. You'll float past the Dandenong Ranges and over the lush green landscape of the Yarra Valley. These vineyards have been producing some of the best wine in the world for over a 100 years.
1st Stop: Wine Tasting at St Hubert's Cellar Door
Upon landing at the private helipad nestled amongst the vines at Hubert Estate, take a short stroll to Hubert Estate's state-of-the-art cellar door which emerges from a hillside on the property, and is quite possibly the most recognisable piece of architecture in the Yarra Valley.
Enjoy a luxurious wine tasting experience of up to 8 wines by the glass across the range including The Stag Victoria Pinot Noir, the St Hubertās Chardonnay and the St Hubertās Blanc de Noir. As our special guest you'll also be treated to a light cheese platter to accompany your wine tour.
2nd Stop: Winery Lunch at Quarters Restaurant
When your wine tasting has come to a close, your reserved table at Quarters restaurant will become available for you to enjoy your delicious, gourmet winery lunch. Your winery lunch experience will include dishes from an Australian-European tasting menu designed by Head Chef, Michael Smith.
Think hearty vegetable dishes with local meat and fresh seafood produce, wood-fired pizzas made from an Italian Marana pizza oven and fresh pasta that is hand-made on site. This is a winery lunch menu that the founder, Charles Hubert de Castella, would definitely approve of.
3rd Stop: Visit Hubert Estate's indigenous Art Gallery
Following your gourmet lunch, take a short-walk and explore Hubert Estate's very own art gallery. Learn the stories behind the artwork from over 20 indigenous artists around Australia including Polly Ngale and Yannima Tommy Watson.
Your day ends with return helicopter charter flights where you'll soak in dreamy afternoon views of the best wine region in Victoria as you're whisked back to Melbourne in your private helicopter.

History - St Hubert's wine-making legacy transformed into Yarra Valley's newest cellar door and winery restaurant
Founded by Charles Hubert de Castella in 1862, Hubert Estate is one the oldest wineries in the Yarra Valley. St Hubert was a champion of the Yarra Valley wine renaissance in the 1960ās and helped position the wine region as one of the most popular wine destinations in the world. This legendary Yarra Valley institution has a 100 year history of producing amazing cool climate wines. These wine blends include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Roussanne under the famous St Hubert's The Stag brand.
Hubert Estate went through a recent design-led renovation by the father-son duo Gerry & Andy Ryan. They've added a beautiful modern touch to the 100 year old winery heritage at St Hubertās Estate. The winery has a brand new fine-dining restaurant Quarters, a state-of-the-art cellar door featuring St Hubert's The Stag wine blends and an art gallery housing Gerry Ryan's treasured collection of aboriginal art.
āEstablished in 1862 as one of the first wineries in Victoriaās Yarra Valley, St Hubert's has a long history of producing outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon. Today it continues to be lauded for its portfolio of cool climate wines which also include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Roussanneā

My sister and I decided to book a beautiful wine tour to Hubert estate for her birthday. Our pilot was ed, we had the most amazing, Funnest and adventurous day. Ed was wonderful and very friendly . The flight was very smooth also! I couldnāt recommend this enough! Thank you Ed.
We had the pleasure of flying with Ed out to Hubert Estate winery for a wine tasting and lunch this weekend.
From the moment we met Ed, he was very accomodating and gave us a tour of the Hanger, as well as took photos of us in front of the helicopter.
We had the best time flying out to the winery and loved every second. On the way back, we were easily persuaded to take a longer route home, flying over St Kilda bay, Melbourne city and doing a lap of the MCG.
We had the best day and could not recommend rotor one enough, and will definitely be back again!
Thank you Ed for an unforgettable experience.
This was the best experience ever. Ed was an amazing pilot and provided a service of a life time. Very generous with his time and highly recommend!!!

What an amazing experience!! ššÆā¼ļø š¤Æ Had the privilege of flying over Sydney š¦šŗ šš¤š½ What a view from up so high. Thanks Rotor One and team for making the experience so exciting and being so accommodating on this trip! Will definitely be looking you up again when Iām in Melbourne for another amazing flight over a different city š!! šš¤ÆššÆā¼ļø
Amazing experience. I flew my wife and daughter family around Sydney Harbour on a helicopter ride. I felt safe and comfortable in the air conditioned chopper. There was a short safety briefing at the start, and the highlight was definitely seeing Sydney from above.
It was a really great experience for both of us. Big thanks to Rotor One and Ed for making it one of the best memories of our lifetime.
