About this tour
Fifteen minutes aloft from Cessnock in a private helicopter, tracking over Hunter Valley's vineyards and the jagged ridgeline of the Broken Back Range. You'll see the patchwork of Pokolbin's wine estates from above—terraced slopes, cellar doors, and bushland dropping away beneath the aircraft. The flight departs and returns to the same airfield, no road transfers needed once you're there.

- Broken Back Range's dramatic ridge formations from the cockpit
- Private helicopter—just your group of up to three
- Fifteen-minute round trip, quick and focused

What to expect
You'll check in at Cessnock airfield, collect a headset, and climb aboard a small helicopter with your companions. The pilot takes you up over the valley floor, banking toward the Broken Back Range's craggy spine. You'll circle vineyard patterns and see the landscape tilt beneath you—familiar terrain made strange by altitude. The flight moves quickly; you're back on the ground within a quarter-hour. Noise through headsets is manageable, and the windows are clear.
