  • The Ultimate BBV Experience - Scenic Heli Flight,

    The Ultimate BBV Experience

    Fancy more than a wine tasting?
    How about going all out and being part of the Ultimate BBV Experience designed for two? Kick start your tour with a private wine tasting with our wine maker Dave McKee before trotting up the vines and being whisked off for a scenic heli flight up and over the stunning Te Mata Peak, up the Tuki Tuki River and Valley or perhaps out to the stunning coast of Cape Kidnappers and back. You will then be escorted back down to the Black Barn Bistro where you can wine and dine under the vines (in the warmer months) or be cozy inside near the fire (for the cooler months) and enjoy a long, lingering lunch Black Barn is renowned for. We couldn’t think of a better way to spend a few hours with the team, BBV style.
    Duration; 3.5 hours (approx) and includes a 30 minute Heli-ride
