A variety of quality wines will be available at HeliFest. This popular concept originates with our successful Wild Brew Yonder evening event. Not everyone was into the beer so we introduced some popular wines and bingo, we had a winner. Sample wine from some top wineries and enjoy great food while checking out the Whirlybirds!

Here's how it works. Purchase a HeliFest collectors wine glass for $5, then purchase $5 tokens and start sampling. Wine is only 1 token per glass!

A Vinho Verde blend of Loureiro, Trajadura and Alvarinho literally translates to "Green Wine" because of its youthful freshness not its color. Harmonious wine with a fresh, fruity and delicate aroma where the presence of tropical fruits and fragrant white flowers are evident. Ideal as an appetizer or pair with oriental cuisine, salads or light meat dishes.

Portuga brand blend of Castelao, Touriga Franca, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Dark and attractive bright ruby colors with intense aroma and notes of ripe red fruits. On the palate, an initial hint of cinnamon at first contact with sensations that prolong in the mouth tasting with well balanced body and fine tannins. Slight notes of wood and a long and complex finish makes this wine pair well with all meat, fish and poultry dishes.
