What happens on the day
Your experience begins early in the morning with a brief pilot orientation. You'll then be taken to the day's launch site where you'll be greeted by a bustle of activity - the hum of inflator fans, the lively colors of state-of-the-art balloons, and the roar of the burners. Before take off, you'll also savor complimentary pastries from a local bakery and hot beverages. Then, it's time to fly!
Gently, the balloon lifts into the early morning breeze that ushers you above corridors of grapes and between the mountains of one of the most magnificent valleys on earth. Aloft and floating on a sea of tranquility, you will experience the spirit of balloon flight.
Above it all, your experienced and knowledgeable pilot will welcome questions and serve as your guide for points of local interest and the Valley's extraordinary beauty.
But the fun doesn't end there! You'll also be treated to complimentary wine tastings via the Tastefuli app. Tastings are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
