Twenty hot air balloonists from around the country will to take to the skies in a beautiful display of colour for the fourth annual staging of the event.

Joining them will be local pilot Nicola Scaife, who has recently returned from Poland following her win at the Women’s World Hot Air Ballooning Championships.

Nicola (wife of event organiser and Australian national ballooning champion Matthew Scaife) said they are looking forward to the spectacular event once again.

“It really is a breathtaking experience to be on board one of the many balloons as they float together at dawn over the vineyards,” she said. 

Passengers and spectators will have an early start meeting at Peterson House at around 5am.
