Just over 30 minutes from Adelaide, Leconfield Wines in McLaren Vale is the starting point for you to Skydive the Southern Vines.
This is where you’ll meet your world-class instructors, before travelling to Aldinga Airfield, where you’ll run through the training and safety procedures, and then gear up ready for your jump.
Once the parachute opens you’ll have up to six minutes to take in the views as you glide over the coast and vines of the Fleurieu, and you can even take control of the parachute if you like, and steer towards the lush greens of Leconfield, where your friends and family will be waiting with a tasting plate and a glass of wine.
Your Chief Instructor will be Allan Gray, who has over 30 years experience and more than 8,000 jumps.
He started his Parachuting career with the Army where he learnt to skydive and was an Instructor at the Army Parachute Training School.
He gained his Pilot’s licence and then travelled around the World to large formation skydiving events. He holds Two World records and several National Skydiving records.
He is on the current Australian National Skydiving team for Canopy Formations and is a keen competitor in BigWays and Canopy Formation.
Your highly experienced tandem skydiving instructor will take care of the jump from takeoff to landing, and give you the confidence and peace of mind to truly relish the experience.
You require just 15 minutes of training before taking off from the Aldinga Airfield, and tandem skydiving is a great way to experience the thrill of the jump without having to remember too many instructions.
Once the plane reaches the jump altitude you have chosen, you will be connected to your instructor, final safety checks will be completed, take a big breath, open the door, and…JUMP!
From a 9,000 foot jump you will have up to 30 seconds of freefall, from a 15,000 foot jump you will have up to 65 seconds. After freefall you will be able to communicate with your instructor, and you can fly the parachute yourself if you choose.
The Leconfield Wines McLaren Vale cellar door is located at 439 Main Road, McLaren Vale, and is Australia’s only cellar door / winery skydive location.
The grounds of the cellar door provide the expansive, lush greens you’ll be aiming for as you parachute down from your tandem skydive. Located just outside the GPO of McLaren Vale, Leconfield Wines provides you with the perfect view of the sweeping patchwork of vines across the unique rolling hills and coastal vantage of the Southern Fleurieu wine region.
Leconfield can also provide a tasting platter and glass of wine for you to linger over at the cellar door, as you relive and recount your skydiving experience.
