Global Ballooning Yarra Valley
Global Ballooning
Yarra Valley
Global Ballooning will pick up at your hotel before first light. After a short briefing by your pilot, you will be transported to the launch site where you may help prepare for the launch or stand back and take some fabulous photos. Then away you go! Spend a peaceful hour drifting gently over the Yarra Valley at sunrise by hot air balloon. After landing and packing the balloon away, head back to Balgownie Estate for a full buffet champagne breakfast to toast the morning’s adventure. After breakfast, you will be dropped at Yering Station where the wine tour will pick you up at 10.45am. You may be dropped earlier than this to enjoy a walk or a rest after your early start. While you are waiting, you can taste wine at Yering Station (open from 10am) OR you can enjoy a coffee next door at Chateau Yering’s Sweetwater Cafe (open from 7.30am). Tour concludes at 4.30pm, at which time drop offs will commence in one of five drop off points in the city. If your flight is cancelled due to bad wheather, your wine tour will proceed as scheduled.
