Begin an exciting and adventurous day discovering the beauties of Tuscany in a hot air balloon. We will leave around 7 a.m. and the flight will last anywhere from forty five minutes to one and half hours depending on the weather conditions, the direction of the wind and other technical details. We conduct our balloon rides at a specific location in Central Tuscany near Tavarnelle, which is located in the heart of Tuscany. Although the decision to fly is based on technical specifications, the flights are always done in the morning.

The balloon will fly both high and low giving you panoramic views of Tuscany. When the balloon flies low you will get a chance to see local farmers clipping their olive trees and seeing lush grapes ripening in their vines. We will coast through the skies skirting along castles, historical buildings and villages that have remained unchanged through centuries. We will pass through highly cultivated and a well cared for landscape and it will be a pleasure to behold these sights.

Your pilot will be your host for a delicious Chianti breakfast including a glass of champagne and local Chianti delicacies. After touching down on “terra firma” you can raise a toast to your excellent adventure on a hot air balloon with a glass of Prosecco and celebrate this unique experience in your life.

After breakfast you will be driven back to the launch site.

Hot air balloons offer a unique and magical journey into the skies. Each ride is a life time and beyond your imagination till you have a first hand experience. So add a ride in our hot air balloons to your list of enjoyable experiences in life.

Ballooning is NOT a dangerous sport and we like keeping it that way. For safety we fly only in the calmest of weather conditions and our pilot always has the final say on the decision to fly.
