Here’s exactly what to expect on the day.
The Departure: Melbourne to the Vines

Within minutes of lift-off, the city gives way to rolling hills, patchwork vineyards, and the unmistakable green of the Yarra Valley. The flight itself is part of the occasion: smooth, unhurried, and impossibly scenic.

Arrival at Zonzo Estate

Set across 45 acres of vines, Zonzo is less about rushing through a tasting and more about lingering. Once on the ground, the pace slows, the glasses fill, and the experience becomes deeply personal.
Dining the Zonzo Way
Zonzo’s restaurant is known for honest Italian cooking elevated to Yarra Valley standards. The menu is built around shared plates, wood-fired pizzas, and seasonal produce—many ingredients picked fresh from the estate itself.
Expect dishes like:
Handmade antipasto designed for the table
Wood-fired pizzas for all ages and palates

Desserts that reward those who stay just a little longer
It’s food made to be shared, savoured, and remembered—best enjoyed with family, friends, or someone special.
The Wines
Zonzo Estate’s wines are the result of patience and precision. The vineyard has been carefully restored over years, producing fruit that reflects the depth and character of the Yarra Valley.
Crafted by acclaimed local winemakers, the wines are designed not just to impress in the glass—but to mark a moment. Many guests choose to take a bottle home as a reminder that some experiences deserve to last.
Time, Unrushed
One of the greatest luxuries of arriving by helicopter is time. No traffic. No schedules dictated by the road. Just the freedom to enjoy lunch at your own pace.
The Return Flight
When you’re ready, your pilot will be waiting. As you lift back into the sky, the valley unfolds beneath you one final time—golden light on the vines, the day perfectly complete.
You’ll touch down in Melbourne refreshed, unhurried, and already planning your next flight.
