Experience the timeless elegance of flight with The Champagne Flight, a serene hot air balloon journey above the breathtaking landscapes of New Jersey. Inspired by the original balloonists of 18th-century France, this unforgettable ride captures the magic of floating silently above rolling hills, forest canopies, glistening lakes, and farmland. On clear days, you might even glimpse the distant skylines of Manhattan and Philadelphia.
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving a moment of stillness above the world, this experience offers a rare combination of beauty, history, and wonder. Conclude your journey with a traditional champagne toast, honoring a legacy that began with the world’s very first flight.
SUNRISE MEET-UP
Arrive 30 minutes before sunrise and greet your pilot and fellow adventurers as the day begins in peaceful morning light.
PRE-FLIGHT ORIENTATION
Receive a warm welcome and a safety overview from your FAA-certified balloon pilot, covering everything you’ll need to know before takeoff.
BALLOON PREP
Witness the awe-inspiring inflation of the balloon—watch as colorful fabric rises from the ground and transforms into a floating vessel.
TAKE TO THE SKY
Lift off for a tranquil 45–60 minute flight above Clinton’s scenic countryside. Spot forests, lakes, farms, and—on clear days—the distant silhouettes of Manhattan and Philadelphia.
LANDING & CELEBRATION
After a gentle touchdown, assist with or observe the balloon pack-up, then close out the adventure with a celebratory champagne toast—just like balloonists have done since 1783.
All flights take off at sunrise on weekends from April through November, offering a breathtaking start to your day! During the summer and holidays, be sure to check for weekday flight availability for even more opportunities to soar
