◆ Estate Winery
Sassafras Springs Vineyard
Private tastings among the vines, a short hop south of the runway.
Northwest Arkansas grows more than mountain trails — it grows estate wine, and a helicopter is the most civilised way to arrive.
Lift off from Thaden Field in Bentonville and follow the hills south. In roughly fifteen minutes you cross into wine country — rolling vineyard rows, cedar-post trellises heavy with Ozark-grown fruit — and set down at Sassafras Springs Vineyard & Winery near Springdale. The estate sits on a quiet country road at the edge of the property, a long way from any highway.
A private tasting is waiting for you in the tasting room. Work through flights of estate-grown red, white, and rosé poured by the people who made them, with a cheese and charcuterie board that earns its place on the table. There is no rush, no last call — the helicopter does not leave until you are ready.
No designated driver required, no rental car, no negotiating a two-lane highway after a second pour. We tuck your bottles into the cargo hold and fly you home with the afternoon still ahead of you.
