Napa Valley Hot-Air Balloon Ride with Sparkling Wine Brunch
Napa, United States of America
Take to the skies at sunrise on an incredible hot-air balloon ride over Napa Valley! After a pre-flight snack at Domaine Chandon Winery, hop aboard your balloon and soar above Napa’s idyllic hills, peppered with picture-perfect vineyards. Pose for photos as your pilot navigates and after an hour in the air, touchdown to enjoy a buffet breakfast with sparkling wine.
MUST provide on the road phone number at time of booking. Failure to provide this information will result in cancellation.
Meet your host inside Domaine Chandon Winery in the heart of Napa Valley, and start your sunrise hot-air balloon experience with a pre-flight snack: coffee, tea, orange juice and pastries. Then, head out to the launch field with your group to watch your brightly colored balloon inflate. Listen to a comprehensive safety briefing and then step inside your balloon’s basket with your expert pilot. Each basket holds a maximum of 16 people and there’s plenty of room for you to sightsee comfortably as you soar gently up and away.
Have your camera ready to capture bird’s-eye views of Napa Valley’s rolling hills as you softly glide through the early morning skies. As you pass over pristine vineyards, your pilot will talk to you about Napa’s captivating landscape; hear how the vines change from emerald green to a rusty gold according to season and learn about the different wineries in the area below you.
After approximately an hour in the air, your pilot will give you instructions for your smooth landing. Once back on the ground, make your way back inside Domaine Chandon Winery and sit down inside its prestigious restaurant for your lavish breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausages and cottage potatoes. Fruit salad and muffins, as well as coffee, tea and orange juice are also included.
Relax while enjoying this classic American buffet breakfast and, after receiving your souvenir photo, toast your group with a glass of sparkling Domain Chandon wine; it’s the perfect way to celebrate your Napa Valley balloon flight!
Please note: hotel pickup and drop-off is not included with this tour

One of the most amazing experience in my life!
Review by: Charles S, September 2017
Was fabulous. A gift from my husband while we were traveling in California, I turned 70 this year and a Hot Air Balloon ride had been on my bucket list for at least 10 years and Napa Valley was the perfect place. The staff are great and you realize right away, safety is a top priority. Brunch was very nice. The 2 things that surprised me were how smooth the ride was and though mornings are quite chilly in Napa in July, it was not cold in the balloon.

Seldom do I rate a travel experience FIVE STARS. Napa Valley Hot-Air-Balloons gets all 5. The pre-flight continental breakfast and check-in process was a great way to begin. The pilots and drivers were polite and professional. The brunch was fantastic and who doesn't like bubbles? And, finally the follow-up with photos exceeded our expectations. Great job and awesome experience!

LOvely time up ballooning. Smooth and serene. Brunch was good as well particularly the unlimited_br/_ Sparkling wine. Only wish there were less people/ smaller baskets for the balloons. It made the ride less intimate and thought for the price it would be a smaller group.
Review by: Chris P, August 2017
Nice venue and friendly staff, but had to change starting point at last minute due to weather conditions nothing you can do about that. Consequently we didn't get to fly over Napa. Still a great experience and the post flight breakfast was really enjoyable.

Great experience and very helpful staff. I highly recommend this Hot Air Balloon Ride.

My own challenge. Thank you, Ben! _br/_ Our guide, Russ, shared points of interest, agriculture tidbits, and answered all questions. _br/_ The ride was smooth and the descent incredibly gentle. _br/_ What a wonderful experience!

We can't say enough about the Napa Valley Balloons team and our ride! I was a bit nervous as I'm afraid of heights, but the flight was so lovely and peaceful, the ride smooth, and the basket felt super secure ... that I was not worried at all, and was able to enjoy the beautiful flight. If at all possible you should NOT miss this experience! To see the whole valley from the quiet of the balloon and watch the sunrise is an experience we will long remember!! Brunch at Domaine Chandon was the icing on the cake. Top notch team, flight, and experience.

Napa Valley in the Fall is beautiful! We booked a Hot-Air Balloon Ride with Viator in Yountville , starting from the grand Chandon Winery . The Hot-Air-Balloon Ride was a blast, literally! Had a good landing in a dry Rice Field! The Tour Operators where very helpful getting in and out of the basket! I am 72 . We enjoyed the Sparkling Wine Brunch at the Chandon Winery after the Balloon Ride ! This was the high-light of our California Trip!
Review by: Raziel V, October 2016
Everybody is so nice._br/_ The pilot in our balloon was great, not only an expert, but he had sense of humor, explained all the way every single detail, and at the end he even recommended a winery that turned out to be the best we visited and we visited 12.

Great staff. Very well run and organized. Shifted location due to weather but safety was most important. Balloon flight was smooth, great experience and great landing. Must do if never done before.
Review by: Susan Peterson P, October 2016
Unfortunately we were unable to fly over the vineyards. Or see the sunrise. Would never do it again at this time of the year. Not worth what we paid for originally

Review by: donlovee, September 2016
Was great very organized we could not fly in Napa due to weather so that was a bummer. We flew out of the county which was ok, the pilot was awesome! I only gave this 4 stars since we did not get to fly in Napa.
Review by: Kimberlee R, September 2016
IT WAS AWESOME!! The flight was thrilling and the Staff so very helpful in getting you in and out of the basket. The champagne breakfast was to die for.
Review by: Kathy S, September 2016
One of my best experiences !!! Well worth the price. The employees were very friendly. We had a beautiful morning and a wonderful experience with our first ride in a hot air balloon.
Review by: ORLANDO G, September 2016
The instructions in the brochure were not very clear at to the time of arrival. We arrived 5 minutes late and our balloon was departing so we missed the flight.
Review by: Laurey N, September 2016

Review by: Gerald C, August 2016
Excellent! It was very smooth and serene. I would highly recommend Napa Valley Hot Air Balloons without reservation. Although I am slightly apprehensive of heights, this experience was very relaxing, in fact, I never felt an ounce of nervousness. Would definitely repeat!
Review by: Matthew M, August 2016
Wonderful! Our only disappointment was that we were unable to fly over Napa Valley due to weather conditions. However, that did not diminish the experience. Our balloon pilot was excellent.
Review by: Patricia L, August 2016
My husband and I really enjoyed the experience. The staff and crew were professional at all times. unfortunately we did not get to fly over the Napa vineyards as hoped but drove for an hour to the next valley over because of visability, Obviously, not there fault due to regulations, but still a disappointment._br/_ The brunch was good but not excellent, but the champagne was a shining star. After taking a nap from the results of the extra early departure all was wonderful again and I would recommend this tour to all ages.
Review by: Alicia G, August 2016
This was the best part of our trip to San Francisco and Napa Valley. Our flight leader made everyone feel very comfortable. We were in the air for about an hour which was plenty of time to take in the scenery and take beautiful photos. The brunch after at the winery was very nice as well. This is a must-do.
Review by: Carlos M, August 2016
The Air balloon was on my bucket list for many years. Im glad that I was able do to it with my husband during our visit to Napa early August 2016. Napa Valley Balloons is a great Company, the service provided was great. Before the flight they have pastries and coffee so you can wake up before the early flight. Also, when you return from the flight they have a buffet, champagne, mimosa, coffee and juice. While we were in the process of doing the flight, we felt very safe, the crew was in control of the situation. Our Pilot was excellent, his name was Ken. It was very evident that he knew what he was doing and we have no worries while we were on the air. The balloons have a GoPro camera and he took pictures of the crew while we were on the air. Those pictures were for free and sent to us via email the same day of the flight. I feel extremely satisfy with this tour that I decided to write a review, and Im very lazy to do this type of things.

It was everything I expected. The staff were friendly and well organized. Even with the change of location due to fog it was a lovely, fun trip. Elizabeth
