This unique flight path will take you around popular landmarks in and around Melbourne City. You'll cruise over the Melbourne Star, Albert Park, Royal Botanic Gardens and the MCG before flying towards Mt Dandenong and the lush green landscapes of the Yarra Valley.
Your Pilot will land on the private helipad nestled amongst the vines at Hubert Estate. You'll be received by the Hubert Estate team and escorted to your first stop, St Hubert's Cellar Door, for your wine-tasting experience.
1. Wine Tasting Experience at St Hubert's Cellar Door
The St Hubert's Cellar Door is a brand new, architectural masterpiece that emerges from a hillside on the property. It's one of the most recognisable pieces of architecture in the Yarra Valley.
Enjoy a luxurious wine-tasting experience of 8 wines by the glass across a variety of St Hubert's blends. This includes The Stag Victoria Pinot Noir, the St Hubert’s Chardonnay and the St Hubert’s Blanc de Noir. As our special guest, you'll also receive a light cheese platter to go with your wine-tasting experience.

Your winery lunch experience will include dishes from the 'Hungry Hungry Hubert' tasting menu. The Australian-European tasting menu designed by Head Chef also includes a 1-litre carafe of wine for good measure.
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.
3. Tour of Hubert Estate's Art Gallery

Why do I need to provide my weight?
We use this to calculate the weight and balance of the helicopter prior to flight. If you have any guests weighing over 130kg (300lb) or a group of 2 or 3 guests weigh more than 240kg (530lb) combined, you may be required to upgrade to a larger helicopter for safety reasons.
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. If your flight cannot go ahead due to bad weather and you wish to cancel, we'll provide a full refund minus any credit card processing fees we've paid on your behalf.

Children aged 2 years or older can occupy their own seat. 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 😁)
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 on cooler or windy days to keep your warm.

Light handbags and small backpacks weighing less than 10kg can be carried in the aircraft. Large luggage or any items you do not wish to take on our flight can be safely stored in our guest lounge.
Can I fly if I'm pregnant?
