Central Otago High Country Heli Picnic
We’ve crafted a new heli-dining experience to inspire you to #supportlocal!
A Central Otago Picnic With A Difference!
Here in Central Otago there is no doubt our epicurean produce is second to none – so we’ve crafted our High Country Heli Picnic to bring together local producers and curate the best picnic Central Otago has ever seen.
Taste Central Otago With Its Orchards, Vineyards & High Country As Your Backdrop
There is something spectacularly unique about being able to enjoy a picnic overlooking the landscape from which all its contents originated. Take off and soar above the orchards where the local fruit is carefully grown before it is poured into bottles at the Benjer Juice factory.
Fly within cork-popping distance of the vineyards that line the landscape and produce the bubbly Quartz Reef Methode Traditionelle that you’re sipping. And lastly sit back, relax on your mountain-top vantage point and cast your eyes over the panoramic vistas and tussocks where local deer graze.

An Epicurean Picnic To Blow Your Mind
What’s On The Menu? Our picnic is specially crafted by Charlotte & Christina from The Little Platter Company. Being Central Otago locals (and absolute foodies) they take pride in supporting local and can tell you the origins of all the tastes nestled deep in their delicious platter boxes.
Our special picnic platters are made up of Akaroa Salmon and Venison from the Central Otago Hills (from The Fridge Butchery & Delicatessen) alongside Whitestone Cheeses crafted in Oamaru. The staples of our picnics are accompanied by decadent chutneys and relishes from Gertz Larder that you’ll only find here in sunny Central Otago. Last but not least, for those with a sweet tooth, Zoe’s Forage & Gold honey tops it off!
After you’ve tantalised your taste buds, wash it down with a drop of Central Otago’s finest Methode Traditionelle from Quartz Reef Winery or an ice cold bottle of Benjer Juice freshly bottled from Central Otago fruit.

Make Memories That Will Last a Lifetime
At Heliview Flights we know the importance of spending quality time with those that matter the most.
Our flights aren’t about the helicopter, the views or the food (although they are an added bonus!) – they are about getting away, escaping daily life, experiencing awe at where we live and making memories with friends and family that will last a lifetime.

- Scenic helicopter flight over Cromwell's vineyards and orchards
- Incredible views of the lake and rivers
- Exclusive alpine landing spot overlooking the Basin below
- Delicious picnic platter box from The Little Platter Company (based on the number of people flying)
