“The Hot Air ballon ride was an amazing experience. The whole team organising everything was great and the pilot was so much fun! You start the experience with a homemade coffee, which is a sweet warm up. After the ride, an amazing sparkling wine on the landing site to celebrate (and wish for a successful next flight) before heading for breakfast at this lovely local spot. This had a big variety of different choices on the menu so there is something for everyone to eat and enjoy. The wine tour after was incredible.
