New Wineries to Explore by Air

Pterodactyl Helicopters has a reputation for putting together a seriously fab lunch tour – very true – but resting on laurels of past glories simply is not our style; so we have upped our game and scouted some new locations for our helicopter lunch extravaganzas.

Don’t worry, the concept remains the same (after all, you don’t fix something that ain’t broken):
Pterodactyl Helicopters new and improved lunch tours will still take you to your destination of choice via the long, slow and outrageously scenic route. In fact, our pilots have done some aerial reconnaissance and are now confident that when it comes to getting the most of the natural beauty along the way to our new favourite lunch locations, it’s literally their way of the highway.
And, yes, if you have a suitable landing site, we will still pick you up at home – because there is really nothing more Rock’n’Roll than strolling down the front steps and hopping into your private chopper waiting to take you to lunch.

After careful deliberation, the team at Pterodactyl Helicopters has selected six fantastic new wineries as your potential lunch destinations:

Ø  Sirromet Wines – one of the best known wineries in the Brisbane region, hidden away in beautiful Mount Cotton. Sirromet Wines plays has hosted countless infamous music acts – including Cindy Lauper – and is the ideal place to live out your private Rockstar fantasy.
