Hot Air Balloon Sunrise Ride (Napa)

Napa Valley Balloons, based in Yountville in the middle of Napa Valley, has provided hot air balloon rides for more than 29 years. They have safely flown tens of thousands of passengers over this beautiful valley. Their unrivaled quality and customer satisfaction has earned them the reputation as Napa Valley's best choice for hot air ballooning.

Your adventure begins at the crack of dawn when the winds are gentle and the light from the rising sun makes the valley shine like a jewel. The breeze will usher you above corridors of grapes and between the mountains of one of the most magnificent valleys on Earth. The gondola is a sculpture of wicker and leather, and the iridescent colors of the balloon punctuate the horizon like an exclamation point! 

You and your guest will be welcomed at their pre-dawn check-in with a continental breakfast of coffee, pastries, fruit, juice and a pilot orientation. After the flight, you will enjoy Napa Valley's finest sparkling wines at a delicious Champagne breakfast. The experience will last an hour but the memories will last a lifetime! 

Balloon ride may be scheduled year-round, however optimal season is May through November. In the event of inclement weather on your scheduled flight date, your flight can be rescheduled for the next available date.
