Invivo Air is ready for take-off!

 

Our inaugural wine flight with a difference takes to the skies in January and will offer a unique experience for wine lovers. The all-inclusive viticulture vacation will take wine enthusiasts from Auckland to Queenstown for an overnight adventure. Departing from Auckland airport at 12:00pm on January 31st, the world’s first winery airline will see guests board the Invivo Air Saab 340 plane and enjoy a guided eight-step wine-tasting at 18,000ft. Led by Invivo Co-Founders Tim Lightbourne and Rob Cameron, the winery in the sky experience includes an expertly paired selection of local Kiwi snacks with tasting pours from the full award-winning Invivo range including Invivo, Graham Norton wines and Invivo X, SJP wines; a range of low and no-alcohol options will be on offer too. Onboard entertainment will also be provided, with a curated playlist compiled by Invivo Cofounder Rob, who is also lead guitarist of a local Kiwi band (Razorback Road).  Two hours after take-off, Invivo Air will start making its descent into Queenstown which is home to arguably one of the most scenic airports in the world. With views of dramatic alpine ranges of the Remarkables to the crystal-clear Lake Wakitipu, it’s the perfect airside introduction to the South Island’s jaw dropping landscapes and unique wine growing region.  Upon arrival, guests are decanted to ‘Legend’s Terrace’ – one of Invivo’s oldest vineyards in Central Otago – for a tour and tasting, overlooking the stunning vistas of Bannockburn and Felton Road.  Invivo, which is famous for producing award-winning Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé and Pinot Noir from New Zealand as well as its collaborations with Graham Norton and Sarah Jessica Parker, will offer a selection of Pinot Noir to guests to taste, as they savour the lush winery surroundings.  In the evening, attendees will enjoy a lavish Winemakers’ dinner at Botswana Butchery in central Queenstown, who are opening the stunning space exclusively for Invivo Air. The bespoke experience is hosted by Invivo Co-Founder and Winemaker, Rob Cameron and Co-Founder Tim Lightbourne, and includes four-course meal cooked by the restaurant’s expert Chefs, featuring local produce including Bluff Oysters, matched to Invivo wines.  Guests will then stay overnight in lake-side rooms complete with stunning view, at the five-star Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa which boasts an indoor pool, fitness centre and day spa on the shores of Lake Wakatipu.
