Helicopter Wine Tour

Your day. Your pace. Your way.

The Helicopter & Wines of Roussillon is an experience designed entirely around you: private, bespoke, and built to match your desires. A private helicopter flight over the Cathar Castles or the Côte Vermeille, an exclusive visit to a vineyard estate in the Corbières or the Aspres, a gourmet meal with wine pairings. Every detail is curated by your expert wine guide, for a one-of-a-kind immersion into the Catalan terroir.
Available for groups of 2 to 5, departing from Perpignan and the surrounding area.

Private Helicopter Flight with Hélittoral Hélicoptères

Your day begins with a spectacular aerial adventure: a private helicopter flight with Hélittoral Hélicoptères, a certified company based at
Perpignan-Rivesaltes Airport. From the sky, Roussillon reveals a beauty the road simply cannot offer. Two routes are available, chosen together when we design your bespoke programme.
So? Cathar Castles or Côte Vermeille?

Option 1 — Flying over the Cathar Castles and the Maury vineyards

Soar above the legendary Cathar fortresses clinging to their rocky summits, Peyrepertuse, Quéribus, Puilaurens, before landing at an iconic estate in the heart of Maury. Immerse yourself in the world of naturally sweet wines through a private cellar tour, where generations of winemaking expertise are passed down and shared. Savour rare vintages in an authentic, intimate setting, far from the tourist trail.

Countryside picnic or gourmet lunch — the choice is yours

You set the tempo for your day.

First option: a countryside picnic at a family winery restaurant nestled at the foot of a 12th-century Cistercian abbey, with a menu built around
the estate’s own wines.

Second option: a six-course gourmet lunch at a wine ecolodge tucked between the Fenouillèdes hills and the Aspres, housed in a beautifully reimagined former cooperative cellar. Every dish is crafted to pair with a hand-picked selection of local wines. A rare dining experience in this little-known corner of Roussillon.

Option 2 — Flying over the Côte Vermeille and the Aspres vineyards

After your flight above the Mediterranean landscapes, the terracotta rooftops of Collioure, the rust-red schist cliffs, the terraced vineyards
tumbling down to the sea, your helicopter lands at an estate in the Aspres, nestled between the Roussillon plain and the foothills of the Pyrenees.

A private cellar tour and an introduction to the winemaking traditions of the Côtes du Roussillon les Aspres appellation. The afternoon unfolds over a five-course meal crafted by the estate’s head chef, where every food and wine pairing tells the story of this singular Catalan terroir.

A programme that is 100% private, designed for your group alone, and impossible to replicate. Because no two Catalan Wine Escape days are ever the same. Make yours unforgettable.
