Experience the sights and tastes of Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake by combining a helicopter tour and wine-tasting tour. Soak up incredible aerial views of Niagara Falls on an exciting 20-minute helicopter flight, and then land at an award-winning winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake for a guided tour, wine-tasting session and even lunch if you wish. This combo tour gives you a marvelous experience of this scenic region that straddles New York and Ontario.
At your chosen flight time, make your way to the Niagara District Airport in Niagara-on-the-Lake to board a state-of-the-art helicopter. Get ready for an extraordinary helicopter tour to Niagara Falls!
Enjoy breathtaking views of this majestic site from the air as your pilot provides commentary on the sights below you. After your exhilarating 20-minute helicopter flight, arrive in style at either the Trius Winery at Hillebrand or the Peller Estates Winery back in Niagara-on-the-Lake for a winery tour and tasting (tasting fees not included).
Trius Winery at Hillebrand has been a Niagara winemaking pioneer for more than 30 years, crafting fine VQA wines from premium grapes grown in the four appellations of Niagara-on-the-Lake. At the Peller Estates Winery, awaken your palates by learning first-hand about the many nuances of wine: growing and tasting, pairing and serving, buying and storing.
Take a guided tour of the winery, sample several wines, learn the art of wine pairing, and sit down to an exquisite lunch or dinner if you wish.
Your wine experience ends at the winery, where you may hop on the complimentary shuttle and head back to the Niagara District Airport.
Fabulous tour! Everyone was so friendly and the winery was top notch! We will be doing this tour again with our son and soon to be daughter in law!

My flight was booked for 12 noon. I received a call that the helicopter was required for an emergency and my flight for 3 people was moved to 4 pm. There was no emergency, it was simply that someone else had booked the helicopter for the day. I got to the airport at 3:15 for my 4 pm flight. My 4 pm flight was delayed 2 hours until 6 pm. A lot of disappointments, waiting around and miscommunication.

The heli tour over the falls was amazing and the pilot was nice and informative. It was a pretty flight to the winery and we loved the Hillebrand Winery. We did the tour, wine tastings and dinner there and they all did not disappoint. Everything was great but just a little confusion on the ride back to the airport. The pilot helped us out and it was a wonderful experience all around. Thank you, Nancy and Dave Hugghins

My husband booked this heli ride as a surprise for our anniversary. We loved the flight and the service from preparing us with a safety video to showing us the sites to feeling very secure and safe in the hands of the pilot was great. BTW I really loved that we had a woman pilot! But once we were dropped off at the winery and were under the understanding that there would be a shuttle from the winery to back to the airport. We tried calling them with no answer and finally ended up getting a cab to take us back to the airport. If no transportation back to your original destination is provided then we should have been told so we could be prepared with cash for a taxi. And if there was a shuttle we should have been told when it would be arriving. This part really added stress to an otherwise perfect anniversary weekend.

The flight was very smooth and fantastic. We totally enjoyed the whole flight every minute of it. It's a great experience to see the Falls from above that we'll never forget. The winery visit at the conclusion of the trip was wonderful too. A very nice finishing touch. Thanks!
