Flying to the Cape Winelands in a Helicopter

Gently sit down in your private helicopter, celebrity style, and fly to some selected wine estates in Cape Town's winelands of Stellenbosch, Franschoek and Constantia for an indulgent lunch.

You’ll feel like a star and the prices of helicopter flights to wine estates around Cape Town are remarkably affordable - especially excellent value in Pounds, Euros or Dollars!

The sky is the limit for some of these scenic flights. Literally. Fly anywhere in the Cape - NacMakana arranges your tailor made trips for you, since they have selected a number of wine estate flights because of their superb lunches and scenic beauty where you can land with helicopters.

In Stellenbosch, the wine estates we would recommend for a helicopter lunch are the grand estate of Lanzerac, the picturesque Zevenwacht (with picnic options), the contemporary stylish Tokara with its excellent restaurant, and Neethlingshof.

In Franschhoek, you can fly to the fashionable Haute Cabriere, the renowned restaurant Le Petite Ferme and the Boschendal Estate, which also offers luxury picnics after the touchdown of your Heli.

The selected Constantia wine farms to visit by helicopter for lunch are the fantastic Constantia Uitsig, the historic Groot Constantia Wine Estate and the excellent Buitenverwachting Estate.

The cost to fly directly to the wine farms for a lunch with a standard ground-time will vary depending on which helicopter you wish to book and which area the wine farm is in.

Once at the wine estate, passengers have the standard two hour ground-time in which to enjoy a leisurely lunch. Extra ground-time can be requested when making your booking and will be billed per half hour.

The cost of the scenic flight does not include lunch for the passengers or the pilot, so it is customary to buy a small lunch for the pilot.

Scenic Helicopter flights to and from Stellenbosch wine estates for lunch, with a standard ground-time, will cost from R9,450 for a three seater, R12,600 for a four seater and R18,900 for a six seater.

Helicopter flights to and from the exquisite Franschhoek for lunch, with a standard ground-time, will cost from R10,710 for a three seater, R14,280 for a four seater and R21,420 for a six seater.

Although these wine farms are amongst the best, and most popular, to visit by helicopter there are several other wine farms available on request.

Of all these wine farms, it has been noted that the most popular flights are to Lanzerac Estate, Haute Cabriere and Waterford due to their fabulous menus and scenic settings.

Waterford is particularly popular due to their wine and chocolate tasting experience, which might make it a very romantic surprise for your guest(s) if the heli flight to the estate did not impress enough.

Flights to these wine farms can include one of the other scenic helicopter flights around Cape Town at their respective extra cost.
