The day starts in a low-slung hangar where the rotor's hush becomes part of the briefing—glass of local sparkling in hand, light breakfast on the counter. Then the helicopter slides into the air and the Willamette Valley unfolds: vineyard rows like neat stitches, red-hued Jory soils on the hills, and a slow river that seems to daringly trace the valley floor. Over the next six hours the aircraft links three boutique wineries, each landing framed by terraces, tasting rooms, and a gourmet picnic from Red Hills Market.
