A Luxurious Dining Experience at Spicers Vineyards Estate

When it comes to days of luxurious adventure, there’s nothing quite like taking a helicopter tour to Spicers Vineyards Estate. It’s something you absolutely must try! Although it might be a short drive from Sydney, a ride in your car isn’t quite the same as a helicopter flight!

You’ll get into a comfortable and spacious helicopter cabin, complete with climate control, noise-cancelling headphones, and a fantastic view of the ground below and the surrounding area. This always makes for a great photo opportunity, so don’t forget your camera!

When you arrive, you’ll be escorted to Restaurant Botanica, which is known for its seasonal menu made with only the freshest of ingredients. From Friday to Sunday, you’ll get an amazing tree-course lunch with fresh ingredients and unique flavours.

Begin your meal at the private estate with options like crispy chicken with togarashi and daikon or house-marinated green olives, followed by entrées such as beef carpaccio with parmesan and basil emulsion or the delicate Fremantle octopus with black garlic and chilli oil.

Once it’s time for the main course, try the oven-baked gnocchi with smoked sugo and cloth cheddar or Red Emperor Snapper with fennel and mojo rojo. Every dish is made to make your mouth explode with flavour.

For those who’d like a longer visit, the Spicers Vineyards Estate Hotel features massive suites, state-of-the-art spas, and some of the finest hospitality in the country. It doesn’t matter if you choose to stay the night or not, because no matter what, at the end of it all, you’ll get to take that same helicopter back home.

🚁 What to expect

What to Expect from The Spicers Vineyards Estate Helicopter Tour

It all starts at Sydney airport, where you'll board a private helicopter. This impressive machine features a spacious and air-conditioned cabin, along with noise-cancelling headsets and window seats for a clear view of the ground below.

As the helicopter takes off, you'll get to enjoy the thrill of flying thousands of feet in the air, as you take a 45-minute flight from Sydney to Hunter Valley. Along the way, you'll get to see some of the lushest greenery, rolling vineyards, and serene landscapes that the country has to offer, and it all makes for some great photo opportunities as well.

Upon landing at Spicers Vineyards Estate, guests will be taken to Restaurant Botanica, an award-winning dining destination offering a refined culinary experience. Available Friday through Sunday, this fine dining establishment serves a seasonal three-course menu that highlights the freshest local ingredients and showcases modern Australian cuisine with an Italian-inspired twist.

Start your meal with delightful options such as charred ōra king salmon with dill and cucumber, or the bold flavors of Fremantle octopus with black garlic and chili oil.

For mains, indulge in the oven-baked gnocchi with smoked sugo and cloth cheddar, or savor the perfectly cooked Red Emperor Snapper with fennel and mojo rojo. If you prefer something heartier, the Little Joe striploin with oyster crème and chicken crackle is an irresistible option.

Round off your culinary journey with desserts that are as exquisite as the main dishes. Choose from the dark chocolate torte with marshmallow and raspberry, the refreshing coconut semifreddo with mango and saffron, or the decadent selection of cheeses with fig jam and walnuts. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted to provide an unforgettable dining experience, making your visit to Restaurant Botanica a highlight of the day.
