Hot Air Balloon Flight over Yarra Valley

The Yarra Valley is just 50 minutes from the Melbourne CBD and is a place of diverse and rich history stretching back to the first settlers, The Yarra Valley is home to 90 vineyards and 35 wineries, many of which hold a reputation for creating world-class wines. This is a premier location for your next hot air balloon flight.

You'll fly in our hot air balloon for approximately one hour over the beautiful Yarra Valley, completing the experience with breakfast at Rochford Wines.

We meet at the Rochford Wines half an hour before sunrise (you will be advised of the exact time by Global Ballooning). Your pilot will give you a short briefing on what to expect in your hot air balloon flight. You will then be transported to the launch site where you may help with the launch of your hot air balloon, or stand back and take pictures. Then away we go, floating gently over the Yarra Valley in our beautiful balloon.

Your flight will last for approximately one hour. After we make our final landing and pack the balloon away, we head back to the Rochford Wines where you can celebrate your morning over breakfast.

Breakfast is included!

What to wear and what to bring?

Hot Air Ballooning is an audience participation activity and you will be encouraged to assist with the set up and packing away of the balloon. It is an active morning in the outdoors, so wear clothes that can get stained or dirty. Wear clothes as for hiking, including sturdy shoes, warm socks and a cap, plus sunglasses if you wish.

We meet before sunrise so depending on the time of year and weather, it can be extremely cold. Generally it will not be any colder in the air during the flight than on the ground, so wear layered clothing that can be removed as the day warms up. The burners in the hot air balloon can radiate heat so a hat is recommended. Your feet can get wet and cold in the early morning dew, you may like to bring a change of socks. High-heeled shoes are not suitable.

Don't forget to bring your camera!

Hot air ballooning is a weather dependent activity. Your flight will be rescheduled if postponed due to bad weather.
