Go Wild Ballooning – A Proud Family Tradition Since 1989
Established in 1989 by the Fraser brothers, Go Wild Ballooning pioneered the very first hot air balloon flight in the Yarra Valley, launching from their family vineyard, Tarraford, near Yarra Glen.
Just a 40-minute drive from Melbourne CBD, Yarra Valley balloon flights offer breathtaking views of the Yarra River, rolling vineyards, surrounding mountain ranges, and on clear mornings, distant glimpses of the Melbourne skyline and Port Phillip Bay. There is truly no better way to experience sunrise than from the peaceful heights of a hot air balloon, drifting effortlessly above this iconic landscape.
The Yarra Valley’s unique geography surrounded by mountains that create cool, stable dawn conditions makes it an ideal location for ballooning. As one of Australia’s premier wine and food regions, it boasts award-winning wineries, boutique breweries, distilleries, heritage accommodation, cafés, and restaurants. It’s a must-visit destination for food and wine lovers alike.
For over 25 years, we’ve partnered with the elegant Chateau Yering Hotel, our official meeting point and preferred venue for accommodation and gourmet breakfast. This longstanding relationship reflects the quality, care, and professionalism we offer every guest because you deserve the very best.
A New Generation of Balloonists – And New Horizons
