LUXURIOUS Yarra Valley for incentive travel programs – Ballooning & Barrel Tasting
This is perfect way for incentive groups to experience Australian wines and produce, and see the breathtaking views of the surrounding wineries and mountains from high above
Duration: 9 Hours (approximately)What a way to start your day ‐ floating gently over the Yarra Valley. Let the breeze usher you along the corridors of grape vines and over the Yarra River as you take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. Toast your flight with a sumptuous champagne breakfast at a nearby historic chateau.
Take a stroll through breathtaking bushland, while getting up close and personal with many of Australia’s iconic native animals. Learn about a range of breeding and recovery programs to help ensure our endangered native wildlife exists into the future.
A warehouse‐cum‐factory space in Healesville makes a real statement. There’s an organic, artisan style bakehouse and a unique coffee bean‐roasting facility.
There’s also something incredibly connective about wine tasting in the very place the wine is crushed, fermented, bottled and stored. Get involved with a look behind the scenes and experience the exciting sights, tastes and smells. Further on through the valley, experience a private barrel room tasting with the wine maker. Select a wine to suit your palate, grab a glass and wander out onto the sun‐drenched patio. Relax, or enjoy a game of petanque against the stunning back drop of the Yarra Ranges.
Lunch is something special. The delicious aroma of freshly baked bread hits you immediately as you walk in the front door. The produce on your plate comes from the garden out the back and the menu changes almost daily – completely dependent on what’s in season. There are few more memorable dining experiences.
