I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a hot air balloon ride with napa valley Ballones and I must say that it was an extraordinary adventure that surpassed all my expectations! From the very beginning, the company's professionalism and attention to detail were evident. The booking process was seamless and their customer service team was extremely helpful in answering all my questions and accommodating my preferences. They were also very thorough in providing all the necessary information and safety guidelines, which made me feel confident and at ease. On the day of the flight, everything was perfectly organized. The pilot and the ground crew were friendly, experienced, and their passion for hot air ballooning was truly infectious. They made sure that all passengers felt comfortable and excited about the journey ahead. As we ascended into the sky, I was captivated by the stunning panoramic views that unfolded before my eyes. The feeling of serenity and awe that swept over me is truly indescribable. The pilot's knowledge of the area was impressive, as they pointed out various landmarks, shared interesting facts, and made the entire flight both informative and entertaining. The hot air balloon itself was in impeccable condition, and the company's commitment to safety was evident throughout the entire experience. I felt completely secure and well taken care of at all times. To top it off, the post-flight celebration was a delightful surprise. The company provided a delicious breakfast, complete with champagne, which allowed us to reflect on the incredible journey we had just undertaken. In conclusion, my experience with Napa Valley Balloons was absolutely unforgettable. Their exceptional service, attention to detail, and commitment to safety truly set them apart.

In May of 2016 my wife, & I took a vacation to Central California an area I'm over all very familiar with. The original intent was to visit family, & check out some new sites, & do a few new things. The former never panned out as planned, but we still made the best of it & had a good time. Always wanting to ride a Hot Air Balloon, we searched around the Central California region for a Balloon operator with a good safety record, & good reputation, & found Napa Valley Balloons Incorporated, & made a reservation. On our scheduled day of balloon ride upon arrival we had a meet, & greet, & briefing. At the briefing we were told we wouldn't be able to fly in the normal area above the Napa Valley Wine Country, & was decided we would go near Winters instead. After we all hopped into 2 vans, headed on a 50 minute trip to Winters. As we got there they were in the process of inflating 4 or so large balloons. It was only maybe 15 minutes, & we were aloft. We had about a dozen of us in the basket, & went up to 1,400 feet, at which we floated along on a hour or so ride landing just east of the Nut Tree Airport just North of Travis AFB. Not always the case, but we had a good slight bounce landing, then climbed, & crawled out of the basket, & headed to vans, & back to where we started at their welcome center in Napa. When everyone gathered we got our balloon ride certificate, had brunch, & a ride, all of which was part of the rate. From beginning to end based on our observation it was well organized, well ran, the astute attention to detail & safety was very well done. A little on the pricey side, but well worth it, & would do it again if the opportunity arises. As the Terminator says "Well Be Back"...

Aside from the most breathtaking views over Napa and a sunrise to die for… Napa valley balloons was a great experience over all. From the first call I made to our last goodbye…Friendly and fun employees who do what they love and it shows. Aside from that they had reasonable prices and clear breakdown of what is included. Small notes:(I’m sure this is with every balloon company) you are not allowed to bring any bags/backpack with you no mater how small. Make sure your phone, wallet and keys fit in your pockets. Cameras are allowed but not the camera bags. It’s a cozy ride and you will be huddled close to your balloon mates. Our balloon held 16 passengers and one Balloonest (made up word-no idea the correct lane.. flight instructor ehh any way) The basket was broken up in a five section. 4 passenger pockets with 4 in each section. Flights booked: all dependent on weather conditions!!!! Very important!!! I took my daughter and we took off with no problem however there is no guarantee until you’re in the air. If you’re planning a trip from out of town or out of state be mindful of this and call to ask questions for more information. I took my 11 year old. She was the only person under the age of 20. If you’re bringing a child call to make sure they need to height requirements before booking. Bring ear plugs it can get very loud. I would absolutely do this again some day and chances are I’m booking again with this company!!

Leading up to 5-OH has been NOTHING short of AMAZING! As I floated through the air in a hot air balloon 8/7/2023 on my birthday, I experienced a magnificent sunrise, while feeling the crisp cool air against my skin, with bursts of heat from the flames used to lift the balloon higher. Capturing God's masterpiece and the beauty of all the colors from high up was so picturesque. Floating over the Vineyards in Napa Valley, I got a 360° panoramic view watching workers pick grapes from the vineyards 2,000ft in the air. Seeing our balloon shadow reflecting off a mountain and reflecting in a lake, with the sun as our backdrop. The workmanship and crafting of being able to experience a different mode of transportation that I'd never before experienced ~ hot air ballooning! My GOD! Majestic! My Aunt/Godmother and I marveled at what was man-made and what wasn't. Bob, our pilot sometimes chimed in how quiet we all were. What we were experiencing was astonishing! Bob mentioned that he hadn't been able to fly as far as we had flown in quite some time because of weather. He mentioned yesterday being perfect for ballooning as we were able to go farther out at 2mph, 9mph, and sometimes 20mph. Bob, the other pilots, and all the staff made our experience seamless. I DEFINITELY recommend Napa Valley Balloons, Inc. 💜💜 I wish I could've shared videos, but it doesn't allow.

I visited Napa Valley for the first time on April 10th, 2018, and stayed for 3 days. I read about how great Napa Valley Balloons, Inc. was so I knew I had to make a reservation and I am so glad that I did! They did not disappoint! Our meeting time was 6am at Domaine Chandon, where there was coffee and pastries waiting for us. Bob, our pilot was extremely kind and knowledgeable. He made us all feel very comfortable and safe, as did the rest of the team and staff. Our ride in the air was about an hour long, the perfect amount of time! The views are gorgeous! You are able to watch the sun rise and Bob showed us some landmarks from up in the air. Lots of beautiful greenery and you can take your phone up with you to snap some pictures and take video if you like. Whoever flies you up also takes a group picture of everyone while in the air. There were about 8 of us who went up together and that was the perfect amount of people so that it did not at all feel cramped or overly crowded. Once we landed, we all went back to Domaine Chandon for a tasty buffet breakfast and mimosas. They send you pictures from the flight before you leave, so you have them the same day to share with family and friends. Many thanks to Shannon for helping me schedule and book this unforgettable experience! I look forward to returning for another ride!

Beware that ballooning obsession may become an issue. We are already planning our next trip. Our morning in the balloon over Napa far exceeded our expectations. It was a great experience from the moment we entered the basket until we left the champagne after gathering. Bob made the in air experience rich and informative and piloted the balloon with skill and confidence. Exactly what you want when riding a craft that can’t be driven. The views were lovely and being up before other balloons in the area launched added to the experience as we were able to watch them rise. The crew was friendly and professional and helped assure a safe solid landing that was a fun experience in itself. Being able to share champagne and toast the day while back on the ground was yet another bonus addition to the day. Nick was a wonderful host and hanging out for awhile with him and Bob while watching the geese fly over the pond and talking about Napa with drinks in hand made for what felt like an end to an amazing day even though it wasn’t yet 9am. Do this!
