Float 3,000 feet above rolling vineyards and cypress-dotted villages.

A one-hour hot air balloon flight over Siena and the Tuscan countryside, piloted by an experienced captain with a safety briefing before takeoff. You rise to varying altitudes between 500 and 3,000 feet depending on wind conditions, then land to a toast and breakfast with local products and prosecco. Flights operate only in early morning hours; the exact time and launch spot are confirmed the day before based on weather and wind. Hotel pickup and return transfer can be arranged for an additional cost.

The Experience

The flight departs early in the morning—the exact time shifts with the season and weather forecast, and you'll get the details the afternoon before. After a safety briefing from your captain and crew, you can help inflate the balloon if you want, then step into the basket. The hour aloft takes you over gentle hills dotted with Italian villages, cypress trees, castles, vineyards, and olive groves; the altitude varies between 500 and 3,000 feet depending on that day's wind, so you see what the conditions allow rather than a fixed route.

Back on the ground, the crew toasts the flight with a glass of sparkling wine and serves breakfast—a croissant, local products, and more prosecco, picnic-style. You're then transferred back to the launch site, or if you've arranged it, driven to your hotel. The launch spot itself varies with wind and weather; you won't know the exact location until the day before your flight.
