Book a romantic private hot air balloon ride for you and your partner that includes a lavish breakfast served with a bottle of crisp cold prosecco afterwards!
The flight takes off very early in the morning, just after dawn so be sure to wrap up well and wear a hat to protect your head from the radiating heat off the gas burners in the balloon as you rise up into a sky filling rapidly with light. Hot air balloons cannot be steered but instead are lead where the strongest winds take them; this truly adds to the magic and excitement of this mile high journey and little else comes near to this level of romance!
The highly experienced captain who will accompany you through the flight is followed by a ‘chase’ team on the ground that will drive you back to the estate when you make a safe landing. After an exhilarating journey that usually lasts around four hours altogether, you both can enjoy a delicious breakfast of sparkling cold prosecco, tasty local goat cheeses and crusty Tuscan baked bread drizzled with olive oil.
