Surprised my husband with this trip. We had so much fun. Only tip I have, don't wear a dress. You have to climb into the balloon. It would be easy in jeans but no skirt or dress. The people are all wonderful. Lord Bob is the best. Bring a camera the views are amazing. More

Beautiful and very fun! Our "pilot" Bob was the best! It was my first time in a baloon and my sister's second time, we loved it! More

Napa Valley Balloon Tours starts you off at Domain Chandon Vineyards. Unfortunately, fog from the bay had drifted over Napa Valley’s Vineyards making it unsafe for us to float above the vines. Instead we took our flight over local nut farms and tomato fields. I didn't mind because I had never been on a balloon ride. Napa Valley Balloon tours... More

This experience was very worth the painfully early morning. We did not get to flyover Napa directly... had to head outside of the canyon so we could be above the fog, BUT it was still one of the highlights of our time in the Napa Valley region. The breakfast afterwards was top notch and the mimosas were even better! The... More

We had a wonderful time with Napa Valley Balloons. When you get to Domaine Chandon, go upstairs to the restaurant - there wasn't a sign directing you up there. Once we got up there, we had a great time - light snack to start the day, beautiful ride over the valley, and a tasty breakfast w/ mimosas back at Domaine... More

Spectacular and interesting views. Our baloon pilot, Bob, was fantastic! Continental breakfast before ride and brunch after ride were mediocre and took too long. Champagne good but food (buffet) and ambiance nothing to be excited about. Transportation back to hotel also takes too long because you have to wait for your group to finish brunch hop back in van. Recommend... More

We signed up for this balloon ride last year but everytime we tried we either had fog or some weather related reason for the balloon not being able to make its flight. i am so glad that we persevered because this was truly a wonderful event. More

From beginning to end, the Napa Valley Balllons experience was flawless! We were picked up exactly on time and taken to Etoile for coffee and croissants before being driven about 3 minutes to the field. Our driver, Lee, was adoreable! My goodness! I wish I could gather a fraction of the enthusiasm and cheerfulness that he has! We were able... More
