Hot Air Ballooning Melbourne and Winery Tour

Hot Air Ballooning Melbourne and Winery Tour

On the day of your experience we will pick you up from the Melbourne CBD half an hour before sunrise. Your pilot will give you a short briefing and you will be then transported to the launch site where you may choose to help with the launch or stand back and take pictures!

Once all passengers are in the basket of the hot-air balloon we take off! Youll be drifting gently over the beautiful city of Melbourne, looking down upon the sunrise-soaked landscape from the basket of a hot-air balloon!

After your 60-minute flight youll be taken to meet your Yarra Valley winery tour guide. Your winery tour is just about to begin!

After your balloon flight we take you to Yering Station where your tour guide will teach you the finer points of wine tasting so that you can swirl, sniff and slurp your way through the afternoon and get the most out of your wine tasting experience. Then the enthusiastic and knowledgeable cellar door staff will take you through their range of benchmark award-winning wines.

The next stop is Rochfords Winery. Your lunch is prepared while the staff share some of their favourite wines with you.

Sit down to a delicious meal accompanied by a glass of wine, tea/coffee and bread. Enjoy the view while you eat!

After lunch you visit Yering Farm, a small family-owned boutique winery. Yering Farm uses traditional wine-making methods and offers a pioneering Australian ambiance in the cellar door, which has a fascinating display of antique wine-making tools.
