What a fabulous experience! So serene and picturesque. Our pilot was very capable and made us feel quite safe. We had an exciting landing at the Solage Resort but never felt in danger. I highly recommend this experience; it is the best of Napa!

Awesome time and unforgettable experience in Napa. A little expensive but well worth it. The brunch afterwards was excellent in a high end restaurant.

While it was too foggy to ride over Napa Valley, we did go over Hidden Valley. I think the views would have been better over Napa, but that was no one's fault. The owner and pilot was so funny and runs a great business. He was VERY experianced and would ride the balloon again just because he was so down... More

We were really surprised to read the reviews on Trip Advisor about this company, as we've had a lovely serene trip with them today. Although, there was fog and therefore we had to fly from the Hidden Valley ( North of Middletown) everything went to plan. We were picked up as planned from our rental home in St Helena, taken...

Unfortunately, we would describe our experience as anything but the "ultimate napa valley experience" as claimed on their website. Late departure - we were picked up at 6:30am and not launched until 8:30am. A scout team could have been sent in advance to determine a good location and begin prepping for launch. Instead, guests are "along for the ride" with... More

Booked the balloon ride for our last day in Calistoga/Napa as a fun way to end our vacation. When we arrived at the meeting spot at 5:30 we noticed there was about 24 people waiting, two vans, one with a trailer with one balloon/basket. This had us concerned, one balloon for all these people? We loaded in the van to... More

My husband and I were looking forward to beautiful views of the Napa valley wineries during our recent balloon ride. The weather however was foggy, so the pilot decided in order to not cancel, the ride would have to be over Hidden Valley rather than Napa. Had I known this view was not as nice as Napa, I would have... More

Hubby and I were in Calistoga for a get-a-way weekend and it was an awesome experience. Because of morning fog we had to launch from the alternate location but it was still wonderful. Looking forward to going again when we can do the launch from the scenic Napa Valley
