Special Lunch Package for Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark Pampanga this year

2013 Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark Philippines – Special lunch service at Clark Wine Center

Colorful Hot Air Balloons attract visitors to Clark Philippines

Philippines Hot Air Balloon Fiesta comes to Clark, Pampanga once more in 2013. Fans of Hot Air Balloon Festival in Philippines as well as those who just want to take pictures of these colorful balloons in flight or just the glow when they hover over the grounds of Clark Airfield next to the wine shop named Clark Wine Center, there are ways to avoid the troubles and aggravations that many Balloon fans complained about last year.

Each year in February, thousands of visitors arrive in Clark for a weekend of festivities surrounding the hot air balloons that gather up in the same location inside Air Force City near the Clark International Airport called DMIA. The large volume of arrivals strains the infrastructure of Clark past its limits. As the Hot Air Balloon festival approaches its climax on Sunday, support facilities and services start to buckle under pressure and complaints from participants mount.

Famous Wine Shop in Pampanga Clark Wine Center

One of the most frequently heard complaints about the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark Philippines was about food and beverage. Many were disappointed with the quality of food in the stalls in the Hot Air Balloon site. The dining facilities near those food stalls were also a source of many complaints. It didn’t help that the nearby establishments did not offer meal services to the visitors to Clark.

Addressing this problem for the 16th Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark in 2011, the Clark Wine Center offers a delightful Hot Air Balloon buffet in the alfresco grass field surrounding this famous wine shop of Pampanga. Situated conveniently near to the Hot Air Balloon site, visitors can now purchase tickets to take a lunch break and enjoy a fine meal before rejoining the hot air balloon festivities nearby.

Smart tourists would probably choose to avoid the weekend and check in on Wednesday or Thursday instead. Although the programs for those two days may not sound as exciting as that on the grand finale Sunday or the penultimate Saturday lead-up, many can probably approach the balloons and the crew with less obstacles on Thursday and Friday. Rooms may still be available but many tourists and local residents travelling north from Manila are booking them fast.

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.

Clark Wine Center is more than just a large wine shop outside of Manila. This wine shop that sits on the main highway of Clark Freeport is one of the places to visit for visitors staying in Angeles City, Subic and Clark Pampanga. Before the Clark Wine Center was built by Yats International, wine played a relatively minor role in the lifestyle in Clark and other parts of Pampanga. After this wine shop started to hold regular wine tasting and other wine wine parties, residents of Angeles City, Subic, Tarlac and Clark Pampanga got more interested in wine.

Today, Clark Wine Center is the center of the wine lifestyle outside of Manila. Even residents of Manila would travel north out of town to Pampanga to seek out this wine shop in Clark Philippines for some wine shopping. Many timed their visits so they can take that opportunity to attend one of the public wine tastings held at this large wine shop in Clark. the Clark Wine Center is generally regarded as the best place to buy wine in Philippines.
