Food and wine lovers find good ways to enjoy Hot Air Balloon Fiesta in Clark in 2012
Food and wine lovers had to put up with bad food and beverages during past Hot Air Balloon Festivals in Clark Philippines. After hearing their complaints, organizers and establishments in Clark and Angeles City Pampanga took actions to rectify this problem in time for the 2012 Clark Hot Air Balloon Festival to take place on 9 to 12 February, 2012.
Here are some of the programs and dining establishments that food and wine lovers from Manila and Asia traveling to Clark to attend the 2012 Philippines Hot Air Balloon Festival might find interesting.
Watch Philippines Hot Air Balloon over breakfast at roof deck of Clark Wine Center
Popular place to watch the balloons is roof deck of Clark Wine Center and this year, this top rated wine shop will serve early dawn breakfast at its roof deck lawn garden to enable its guests to savor a sumptuous breakfast while waiting to snap pictures of hot air balloons ascending from their launch pads nearby.
Those who wish to relax over breakfast while waiting to snap a few memorable pictures of the colorful hot air balloon might want to get a table at the roof deck lawn garden of Clark Wine Center.
Breakfast is served at the Roof deck lawn garden of Clark Wine Center on February 11th and 12th (Saturday and Sunday) at 5am. Hot air balloons are scheduled to take off at 5:30am and return at around 7am. This seems to be a comfortable and convenient way to observe and take pictures of the balloons taking off at dawn. Just how close the balloon will fly over the Clark Wine Center depends largely on prevailing wind directions. Last year, breakfast guests took many good pictures of the hot air balloons flying overhead not so far away.
Price is php 650 per person (php 350 for children aged 12 and below).
