Balloon ride in Chianti from Barberino Tavernelle

The panoramic group or exclusive hot air balloon flight over the Tuscan hills is a unique experience that will allow you to spend an unforgettable morning.

The duration of the activity is about 3 hours, including balloon inflation, flight of about 1 hour, recovery, balloon packing, breakfast and return to the meeting point. You can choose from 3 different destinations.

Chianti

It starts from Barberino Tavernelle at dawn and the flight route varies each time depending on the intensity and direction of the wind. During the experience you can admire the various castles, villages and vineyards that characterize the Tuscan countryside. On a clear day, if you fly high enough you can even see the Tyrrhenian Sea in the distance.

San Gimignano

You take off in the San Gimignano areas, and you will be able to admire right away the village that is among the most renowned in Tuscany. Once you get to altitude you will have a view of the entire Tuscan countryside characterized by vineyards and olive trees. In the distance you can also see the Apennines including the white peaks characterized by Carrara Marble.

Siena

Depart just outside the city; you will be able to see Piazza Campo right away. Depending on the direction of the wind you will either fly directly over the city or be transported to Chianti in the hills of Siena.

Florence

This exclusively private tour offers you the unique thrill of admiring the Tuscan capital from above — not only the entire city of Florence, but also the enchanting hills that surround it.

Once you land before returning to the meeting point you will be offered breakfast.

Required clothing to participate is seasonally appropriate sportswear with long pants and closed-toe shoes without heels.

Da 300€a persona
