Overview

***This listing is for the ONLY Napa Valley hot air balloon operator***

We have daily flights booked in the Napa Valley.

We operate three Napa Valley hot air balloon companies, each with its own pick-up and launch locations with nearly similar routes.

We always aim to fly in Napa Valley, weather permitting.

***We are also the only operator that has 45 years of experience flying hot air balloons in Napa Valley.***

Other tour operators fly NEAR Napa, not in Napa.
Don't be misled by others.
Don't compromise on your safety.

This is your opportunity to experience our world-famous wine country from the air on an early morning hot-air balloon ride. Then, climb into a comfortable basket to take to the skies as the valley below you awakens. Enjoy a bird’s-eye perspective of rolling hills, expansive vineyards, and elegant estates during your flight. Your pilot will offer insights on ballooning and the landscape as you float above it all!
