The Peninsula product focuses on the Red Hill and Merricks hinterland, offering views over vineyard and farmland country at altitude. Flights are followed by a champagne breakfast at a winery or nearby venue, making the total experience a complete morning. ### What they are good at Delivering the Peninsula's most dramatic elevated perspective over wine country, particularly in autumn when the vineyard canopy is turning. The champagne breakfast format is well-executed and rounds out the morning without requiring additional logistics. Suits anniversary occasions and couples well, and the small group format (up to 16) keeps it from feeling like a tour bus. ### Not suited for Guests with a fear of heights. Anyone needing a fixed, guaranteed itinerary should understand that balloon flights are entirely weather-dependent and launch sites are confirmed only the evening before. Pregnant guests cannot participate, per standard balloon operations policy. Early risers only: dawn departures require a 4:30 to 5:30am start depending on conditions. ### Visit Global Ballooning Australia directly Pricing, seasonal departures, and group bookings are managed on the operator's own website.
