Business Hours
Discovering the Langhe from above, aboard a hot-air balloon, lets you take in the landscape from a different perspective, in a silence broken only by the hiss of the burner.
The Langhe as you’ve never seen them, between earth and sky
Flying over Barolo and the UNESCO World Heritage hills, you can admire the vineyards tracing the slopes, the villages crowned by castles and, in the early morning hours, the mist slowly lifting from the valley floors.
Flights run all year round and offer a chance to share a special moment with friends, as a couple, or to surprise someone with a gift that’s a little different.
If you choose a flight departing from Barolo, you can continue the experience after landing with a guided tour and tasting at the L’Astemia Pentita winery, just outside the village.

After the hot-air balloon flight, you can continue your day with a guided tour of the L'Astemia Pentita winery to get a closer look at local wine production.
The tour begins in the winemaking area, among the tanks where must becomes wine, and continues into the barrel cellar, where the wine ages. The visit then moves outdoors, through the rows of the Cannubi cru, one of the most renowned and prestigious vineyards in Barolo.
At the end, you can choose two wines to taste, paired with a board of local artisan cured meats and cheeses.
