Heli-transfer from Queenstown marvelling at the magnificent views over the Wakatipu and Cromwell basins. Land atop the Kopuwai Old Man Range for delicious luncheon with locally grown and freshly squeezed juices.
A short scenic hop will see you disembark trackside at Highlands where groups rotate through Pro-drive and U‑drive activities on and off-track. Supercar fast laps, Go‑karting, Fast Taxi and Blindfold Buggies for starters. Simply salivate as your delectable lunch is cooked before you in Stoakers (retired pinot noir wine barrels).
Your helicopter awaits with a scenic transfer over the pulsing heart of the Central Otago wine region, across Lake Dunstan to a stunning winery. Choose from a 4WD experience, planting out natives, or simply soak up the ambience of this place.
Finish the day with a road trip to one final spectacular vista to enjoy an evening meal - winery/restaurant/marquee - catering around here is as adaptable as the people!
