Helicopter Winery Lunch at Terindah Estate on the Bellarine Peninsula

Overview - Wine Tour and Winery Lunch at Terindah Estate on the Bellarine

Terindah Estate is a boutique winery set on a 100-acre vineyard on the Bellarine Peninsula complete with a gourmet restaurant (The Shed @ Terindah), cellar door, wedding venue, glamping accommodation, private beach and tram bar (a bar built inside a restored Melbourne tram from the 1950’s).

With breathtaking views of Port Phillip Bay, the You Yangs Ranges and the Melbourne City skyline, Terindah Estate offers one of the most scenic wine tasting and winery lunch experiences on the Bellarine following a quick and spectacular 35 minute helicopter flight from Melbourne.

After purchasing Terindah Estate in 2000, owners Peter & Cate Slattery have evolved the winery to become a popular wedding venue, event space and weekend getaway destination with their innovative glamping tents accommodation, however they’ve also stayed true to their original vision to create the most beautiful food and wine destination on the Bellarine Peninsula.

The Shed @ Terindah - A Gourmet Winery Lunch Experience

After your helicopter makes a private landing at Terindah, you’ll be warmly welcomed at Terindah Estate’s signature restaurant, The Shed, offering beautiful views of Terindah’s vineyard from every table and a gourmet lunch menu curated by Executive Chef Russell Hall using local produce picked right from Terindah’s vegetable and herb gardens.

With an amazing gourmet lunch menu available à la carte, there are multiple highlights including the lamb rib with pistachio, salmon ceviche, pork belly infused with apple and local Portarlington mussels, which are caught just a stone’s throw away from Terindah’s restaurant.

You can choose to match your à la carte lunch menu with one of Terindah’s award-winning, estate-made wines including their Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Rose, Zinfandel and Shiraz, all bottled between 2018 and 2021, or enjoy a dedicated wine tasting at Terindah’s Cellar Door with three white or red wines if you reach the conclusion that one glass of wine simply isn’t enough (we wouldn’t blame you!)

Terindah Estate - The perfect combination of wine and food with a view

Terindah Estate is truly an amazing destination for a winery lunch by helicopter and there are very few wineries offering a combination of spectacular water views and award-winning wines that are picked, bottled and served at Terindah’s own cellar door and matched to a delicious lunch menu with ingredients sourced right from the back garden and waters of Corio Bay.

Children aged 3 years and older can fly. Our pilots will give them special attention to ensure they have an amazing time. All children will have their own window seat and pay the same seat price (we don't offer discounts for children as we make sure they have even more fun than the adults 😁)

I'm just one person. Can I fly by myself?

All our scenic and winery flights are private and require a minimum of two people, except for our Learn To Fly A Helicopter experience. You can book two seats on a scenic or winery flight if you'd like the helicopter to yourself, or you can book a single seat on our shared fight over Melbourne City, Beaches & Coast.

Can bad weather prevent us from flying?

Yes, adverse weather conditions such as low cloud, fog, heavy rain or high winds may require your flight to be delayed or rescheduled. If this is the case, your pilot will contact you at least 2 hours prior to your booking time to reschedule your flight to another day/time or provide a full refund.

Google says there's will be bad weather on the day. Should I reschedule?

There's no need to contact us to reschedule based on a weather forecast as they're often inaccurate, especially in Melbourne! We use live weather data on the day of your flight to determine if flights can be conducted safely. We'll contact you at least 2 hours prior to your flight if bad weather could delay your flight.

We use this to calculate the weight and balance of the helicopter prior to flight. If any guests are over 130kg or a group of 2 or 3 weighs more than 240kg, please contact us prior to booking.

Can I use my camera or phone during flight?

Yes, we encourage you to take as many photos and videos on the ground, and in the air, as possible.

What should I wear?

Please bring a pair of sunglasses and you're welcome to wear clothing appropriate to the weather. We do recommend a wind-breaker jacket for any sunrise / doors-off flights and also when flying on our 12 Apostles tour as both experiences can be windy.

Can I bring any luggage?

Handbags, small backpacks or duffel bags weighing less than 10kg and less than 60cm in length can be carried. Its essential all baggage is soft and compact as it must fit in a small baggage compartment under your seat. We're not able to carry any rigid suitcases or airplane carry-on size rolling luggage.

Can I fly if I'm pregnant?

Yes, however we recommend flying prior to your third trimester.

Can I fly if I'm in a wheelchair?

Yes, our hangar is wheelchair-accessible and we warmly welcome passengers with special needs. Our team will gladly assist in lifting any passengers into the aircraft for their flight.

Thank you so much!

This was a surprise gift for my parents and they were completely blown away by the experience. Ed and the team were overly patient and generous with me as I bombarded them with annoying messages and requests in the lead up to the day, even changing the date last minute due to the weather. My father had been ill but I needn't have worried, Ed and the team couldn't have done a better job of looking after them. They both said it was one of the best days they have ever had and they wouldn't change a second. Holly was fantastic at Terindah too. Thank you again, absolutely first class.
