The rotor rhythm cuts through the Barossa air as the helicopter lifts from the Adelaide heli-pad and heads north, Jacob’s Creek shrinking into a silver ribbon below. Trees and vineyards flatten into a quilt of greens and ochres, and the pilot banks northwest toward Tanunda and Nuriootpa; the valley opens and the Wheatsheaf Hotel appears beside a tidy landing strip where the group will touch down for lunch.
