Overview
It’s difficult to appreciate the beauty of Napa Valley’s rolling vineyards from between the vines—it’s much easier from the skies. Starting just after sunrise, step into your hot-air balloon to watch the valley come alive, floating up to 2,000 feet in the air. Enjoy coffee before and sparkling wine after, celebrating your silent journey gliding along the California horizon.
- Tour Napa Valley or Sonoma from the air, following ideal weather patterns
- Learn about the art of ballooning from your pilot
- Get drone-style photos from your aerial vantage point
- A romantic experience for couples—or just a fun getaway for friends

Amazing Experience

Such a disappointment
Derrick_W
, Aug 2022
Biggest let down we have had in a long time. It was supposed to be an amazing trip over napa valley. Fog came in and we were told that we were changing locations due to weather. We asked what the experience would be like at this new location and were told it would be different than napa valley but great view of diverse agriculture. Sun flowers and almonds and lots of other forms of agriculture. It took so long to get there that we missed going up at sunrise. The first 15 Min was over a housing development. Followed by about 10 min of agriculture (a walnut plantation) then a bout 10 min over someone's plant nursery, which was all netted over the top so you could not see plants. The rest of the trip was barran dirt until landing. Our operator was the most unpersonable guide I've ever had. I would ask questions and he would give 1 word answers if he even answered them. So beyond disappointed

Breathtaking views and a lifetime experience

This is definitely a lifetime experience! You can be assured to get breathtaking views of the valley from the air balloon with description of various orchards (vineyard, almonds, sunflower) by the experienced crew. We were taken to the balloon take-off location (about an hour ride) from the meeting point, were on an hour tour on the air balloon followed by landing and return back to the meeting point. Completely worth the money!
Love it

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
