About this tour

When Jake from our team booked Tour DeVine by Heli, we got a very different kind of wine-country experience. You're airborne for roughly 6 hours, touching down at hand-picked Northwest wineries to taste a broad range of reds and whites (yes, it's Pinot Noir territory, but there's more to it). The day kicks off with Champagne and snacks before takeoff, includes lunch at one of the stops, and wraps with a photo opportunity back at base. It's luxe without pretension — a solid option if you want vineyard visits without the van-tour vibe.

Highlights

  • Helicopter flights between three wineries beats sitting in a coach.
  • Pre-flight Champagne and snacks set a relaxed tone immediately.
  • Hand-picked wineries showcase variety beyond the obvious Pinot Noir.
  • Lunch included during the tasting itinerary, no scrambling for food.
  • Award-winning service at each stop, not rushed.
  • Photo opportunity at landing site captures the day nicely.
  • No crowded groups — intimate group size across the flight.

What to expect

You'll start at the departure point with a glass of Champagne and light bites to settle your nerves if flying isn't your go-to. Once airborne, expect scenic views of the Northwest landscape en route to the first winery. The team there will walk you through their selections — reds, whites, and everything between — at a pace that feels unhurried. You'll re-board the helicopter and repeat at the next stop, where lunch is served. The whole thing unfolds over 6 hours, so factor in travel time between wineries and the fact that you're moving at a fairly leisurely clip. Jake noted that the variety across the three spots meant no two tastings felt repetitive, and the service at each vineyard was genuinely attentive without the stuffy formality some wine tours can lean into.

Good to know

The good

If you've done the standard wine-country tour and want something different, this scratches that itch. The helicopter element genuinely removes the monotony of long drives between vineyards, and the hand-picked selection means you're not tasting the same producers everyone else sees. Lunch is included, which keeps your wallet from taking a hit mid-tour. Service animals are welcome, and the tour suits all fitness levels.

The not-so-good

Helicopter time means minimum drinking age is 21 — no exceptions. Infants must sit on an adult's lap, so travelling with young kids requires a spare seat cost or a creative rethink. Gratuities aren't included, so budget extra for that. Hotel pickup/drop-off costs extra. If you're sensitive to small-aircraft flying, the novelty wears off after the first leg. Peak times aren't specified, but wine-country weekends (especially autumn) will be busier. Mention any dietary requirements at booking — they do accommodate, but last-minute requests aren't guaranteed.
