Fly, Wine & Dine Like Never Before

The ‘FLY, WINE, DINE’ experience offers an exciting day for two in West Sussex, starting with a thrilling flight with Ultimate High and ending with fine wine and dining at Tinwood Estate.

Guests begin with an aerobatic flight, guided by expert pilots, enjoying stunning views of Tinwood Estate below. Choose from a gentle flight, formation aerobatics, or the TOP GUN experience.

Afterward, unwind at Tinwood Estate with a curated selection of fine wine and gourmet food in a beautiful setting, blending adventure with indulgence for an unforgettable day.

About the experience

You should expect to be with us for between two and three hours.

You will be kitted out in a high quality military flying suit and then choose your call sign.

You will be given a detailed safety brief and taught how to fly the aircraft (yourself!).

At the aircraft, you will be shown the cockpit controls and receive another safety brief.

Our flight experiences are delivered as Air Exercise 3 of the PPL syllabus by qualified Flying Instructors, and include a safety brief and explanation of how the flying controls operate.  You will be shown how to fly the aircraft yourself under close supervision of your Instructor, even if you have never flown in a light aircraft before.

  • You will sit side-by-side with your instructor.
  • The T67 Fireflys will depart and return to the Aerodrome at the same time, and instructors will demonstrate close formation before giving you the opportunity to learn to fly the aircraft with incredible views of the picturesque countryside below.
  • Time in the aircraft is around 40 minutes (25 minutes in the air).

Flights involving aerobatics and formation may involve greater risks than simple sightseeing trips, and guests will be required to sign a disclaimer to confirm that they understand and are comfortable with this. Ultimate High has flown 35,000 guests over 25 years with a perfect safety record.

Debrief with your instructor, and flight certificate.

Opportunity to purchase a 360 degree video of your flight.

Drive to Tinwood, 10 minutes away, for your bottle of award-winning wine, and delicious sharing board included in the package price.
