CHELAN AIR TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Two-Hour Helicopter Wine Run: Land at Two Chelan Valley Wineries
A private, two-hour helicopter flight that lifts you over the Chelan valley and touches down at two wineries, useful for planning timing, logistics and what the experience actually includes.
Two-Hour Helicopter Wine Run: Land at Two Chelan Valley Wineries.
Over the glinting water of Lake Chelan and across the valley, a short private helicopter flight condenses a regional tasting itinerary into a dramatic two-hour loop: a pickup at an agreed-upon spot in the valley, landings at two wineries that accept helicopter arrivals, and flexible time on the ground to taste at your own pace.
