We meet at Rochford Wines half an hour before sunrise (you will be advised of the exact time on your confirmation sheet). Your pilot will give you a short briefing. You will then be transported to the launch site where you may help with the launch, or stand back and take pictures. Then, away we go, gently floating over the Yarra Valley in our beautiful hot air balloon.
Your balloon flight will last for approximately one hour. After we make our final landing and pack the balloon away, we head back to ROCHFORD WINES where you can celebrate your morning over a delicious breakfast.
