Description
Your experience begins with a picturesque drive from Tbilisi through the lush landscapes of Kakheti, arriving at the beating heart of Georgian viticulture — Alazani Valley. Here, the expansive views of the valley serve as a prelude to the aerial journey that awaits.
As you watch the balloon inflate, a sense of anticipation builds. Soon, you ascend, floating effortlessly above rows of vineyards that tell tales of ancient winemaking. At 50 meters, the earth's details are still clear, allowing for a unique interaction with the land below — waving to locals and watching wildlife scurry through the underbrush.
Following your descent and the celebratory post-flight champagne ceremony, indulge in a sumptuous lunch at a local Georgian restaurant. Savor traditional dishes and a degustation of local wines, a perfect pairing that enhances the authentic experience of Kakheti's culinary heritage.
The entire adventure spans approximately 2-3 hours, including preparation, flight, and the post-landing celebration, capped off with a delightful lunch before your return drive to Tbilisi. Your balloon can travel between 4 to 20 kilometers, depending on the winds, reaching altitudes where the snow-capped Caucasus seem close enough to touch.
