Full description
Soar above the vineyards and medieval villages of Tuscany on a hot air balloon flight near San Gimignano, with transfer included from the meeting point.
The experience begins in San Gimignano, from where the supplier transfers passengers to the launch field. The exact location is confirmed the day before the flight, based on the weather forecast and wind direction. On arrival, the captain and crew welcome passengers with a safety briefing, and those who wish may help inflate the balloon before boarding the basket.
Once airborne, the route depends on wind direction, so the exact path is not known in advance and every flight turns out differently. The balloon travels at a varying altitude over the Tuscan hills, floating above vineyards, olive groves, cypress-lined roads and the medieval villages that characterise the region.
Upon landing, the experience concludes with a toast and a picnic-style breakfast with Prosecco, croissants, fruit juices and local products, and the team transfers passengers back to the starting point. The product is offered in two formats: one including only the transfer from the meeting point to the launch field, and another that also includes hotel pickup and drop-off. As it depends entirely on weather conditions, every flight becomes a one-of-a-kind experience over one of Italy's most recognisable landscapes.
