Pickup
Starts and ends at the V&A Waterfront helipad, Cape Town. Hotel transfers can be arranged on request.
Dietary
Tell us vegetarian, vegan, halal or allergy needs ahead of booking — every estate restaurant can accommodate.
What to wear

Helicopter wine day FAQs
Our pilots make the call on the morning based on conditions. If it isn't safe or comfortable to fly, we agree a fallback date with you before you book, so your day is moved, not lost.
