Hala says
A sunrise float across vineyards, olive groves, and the cypress-lined hills of the Val d'Orcia: about an hour airborne depending on wind, capped with a prosecco-and-pastry breakfast in a field on landing. Weather-dependent and not cheap. Book directly with a regional operator (Firenze Mongolfiere is the established name) rather than through a hotel concierge; same price, more give on rescheduling.
