But as far as we’re concerned, the journey across this most-loved wine region is unrivalled by hot air balloon. As you soar over patchworks of vines set on rolling hills and surrounded by mountains, lightness comes over you – a sense of freedom from the everyday. As the sun rises, so does your spirit, floating over the natural amphitheatre. Just an hour from Melbourne CBD, it doesn’t take much to escape the bustle and reconnect with nature. Flights operate 364 days of the year, weather permitting. The Yarra Valley is one of the world’s most picturesque flying regions!
