Ballooning in the Hunter is a dawn activity. Flights rise as the sun comes up over the Pokolbin vineyards and stay aloft for around an hour, which means an early alarm but also the stillest, clearest part of the day for looking down over rows of vines.
Beyond Ballooning is a family-run operator flying from Blaxland Inn on Broke Road, Pokolbin. Flights start from $299 per person. As well as shared flights, it offers exclusive flights for a group of four to eight friends, so a small celebration can have the basket to itself, and private flights for two for a proposal or anniversary.
After landing there's an optional breakfast with a glass of local sparkling wine, which turns the flight into a full morning. Because it's all done before most cellar doors open, a balloon flight fits neatly in front of a long lunch or an afternoon activity.
