2011 Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark Freeport Philippines is near.  This year again, it will take place on the weekend of February 10 to 13.  Last year, many visitors are unable to secure a room in the hotel and resorts in Clark, Pampanga to fully savor the experience of the Hot Air Balloon festival. 

Each year tourists from all over the world and travelers heading north from Manila come to Clark, Pampanga to attend the annual Hot Air Balloon festival.  Experienced visitors book hotel resorts now to avoid disappointment. Some visitors from Manila are forced to stay outside of Clark in Angeles City, Pampanga and journey into the Freeport every day to watch the hot air balloons perform.

But there are other ways to enjoy this 4-day Hot Air Balloon event in Clark.

Clark Wine Center, Philippines’ largest wine shop is located in Clark Freeport, at a location that is very near the place where the balloons are parked.  This is considered the best vantage point to watch the hot air balloon take off and return to earth.  Pre-dawn breakfast is served to the lucky few who got tickets in advance to a ring-side seat at this venue, on Saturday and Sunday morning at 5am to 8am. 

A wine tasting session is held in the afternoon at 5pm on Saturday 12th February 2011 to let wine lovers enjoy the afternoon hot air balloon activities scheduled to start at 5:30pm, while enjoying some fine vintage wine in an organized tasting.  Clark Wine Center hold regular wine tasting sessions that attract the local wine enthusiasts because it is strictly non-promotional, no wine salesmen to pressure the guests, just a very congenial atmosphere to taste wine and meet new friends with similar interest.
