Tour Itinerary

1

An Early Start

https://ti37bv5npa-flywheel.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/visionsofvictoria918352-305-1-600x258.jpg

The Yarra Valley is one of Australia’s most famous hot-air ballooning destinations, so get ready to generate some incredible memories.

Your day starts very early, pre-dawn when you depart your accommodation for the Yarra Valley. We will pick you up at your city hotel and we will escort you to the designated balloon-briefing site.

Get Ready to Fly

https://ti37bv5npa-flywheel.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/visionsofvictoria1350622-305-600x258.jpg

Get hands-on and assist with the balloon launch or freely enjoy capturing the experience through photos. And then, you’re air-bound! You’ll silently drift above Yarra Glen, the vineyards and the meandering Yarra River. After flying for approximately 1 hour, you’ll descend to pack up the balloon before travelling through to Balgownie Estate Vineyard for a hearty champagne breakfast.

Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary

https://ti37bv5npa-flywheel.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/healesville-koala-1-1-600x258.jpg

Our first stop is the world-famous Healesville Sanctuary, one of Australia’s most recognized and acclaimed wildlife sanctuaries.

With 30 hectares of bushland, it showcases more than 200 species of Australian wildlife in a distinctly Australian setting. Here, visitors can experience close-up encounters with some of Australia’s most unique and captivating wildlife in their natural habitat, including koalas, kangaroos, wombats, emus, dingoes, birds of prey and platypus.

4

Yering Station Vineyard Lunch & Tasting

https://ti37bv5npa-flywheel.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Visions-of-Victoria-127628-56-600x258.jpg

Yering Station’s stunning Wine Bar Restaurant is the perfect lunch venue. With its world-class views and cuisine, you’ll enjoy an a la carte main course meal. After lunch, visit the original winery (circa 1859) that features local artworks and produce as well as estate and reserve wines to taste.

5

De Bortoli Vineyard Tasting with Cheese

https://ti37bv5npa-flywheel.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/De-Bortoli-Cheese-Platter-600x258.jpg

Our final stop for the day is the family-owned De Bortoli Winery at Dixons Creek. Part of Australian wine folklore for 3 generations, the De Bortoli's represent the Italian heritage at the root of so much of Melbourne’s cuisine. Here, you will take part in a degustation of superbly flavoured cheeses that complement the sparkling, table and dessert wines on offer.

Journey Home

https://ti37bv5npa-flywheel.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/visionsofvictoria1004392-305-1-600x258-600x258.jpg
