Napa Valley Hot Air Balloons

Experience a breath-taking view of Napa Valley while soaring through the sky in a hot air balloon. This unique journey will offer a bird’s-eye perspective of the heart of wine country as your balloon smoothly glides above lush vineyards in the sprawling Northern California countryside.

The ride will embark from the town of Yountville, surrounded by award-winning restaurants and hotels in the bustling, historic V-Marketplace area. Come early morning, you and your party will arrive at the launch site to sign in. You will be offered a complementary selection of pastries and coffee while your trained, FAA-certified pilot begins the dynamic process of inflating the hot-air balloon and assessing nearby weather conditions.

As the wind guides you over the valley, you will witness Napa Valley’s dazzling vista of natural sights and elegant wine estates. The ride takes on fewer visitors per balloon than its competitors, so you’ll never find yourself jockeying for a better view. In addition, your experienced pilot will offer informational anecdotes about the natural marvels below; to the west lies the forested Mayacamas Mountains, to the north the towering Mount Saint Helena, and to the east the hilly Vaca Range.

Allowing for proper weather conditions, you can ascend further for a look at the distant peaks of the Sierra Nevada, or even the shimmering form of San Francisco’s towering skyline. Then, after approximately an hour of flight, your pilot will expertly guide your balloon back to solid ground. Overall, if you’re looking for a unique way to take in the beautiful Napa Valley scenery, this unique, aerial tour is an absolute must. More Information.
