Activities in Napa Valley

Above the Wine Country Balloons & Tours
Hot air balloons are unique from all other forms of flight in that there is no sensation of motion or perception of height. Travelling at heights of 500 to 1500 feet, the feeling is one of peace and tranquility as the earth seems to slowly descend and rotate below you. Within moments after lifting off you become at ease while you effortlessly drift over the treetops and float over the countryside in gentle, panoramic harmony with nature.

You are welcome to participate "hands on" with the set-up, inflation and deflation of your hot air balloon. Our uniformed pilots, all FAA certified instructors, are the most qualified professionals in this region, averaging 25 years experience. Our fleet of Cameron Balloons is the newes and safest luxury aircraft available in the world today, featuring secure, high sided, separated compartments designed to comfortably hold no more than 2 to 5 passengers. These state of the art gondolas offer added stability and excellent unobstructed views. Private parties can also be accommodated in our balloons, which are designed to carry a total of 2, 4-5, 8-10 or 16 passengers.

We can arrange catering, meeting and banquet facilities for your convenience. We can perform wedding ceremonies aloft or on the ground before launch. We can provide customized videos and have private balloons for just two or any size group with a pilot. We can also arrange charming accommodations nearby!
