Hot Air Balloon Adventures Over Napa Valley
There’s no better way to experience Napa Valley than from above, especially during fall when the vineyards are brushed in shades of gold and crimson. Hot air balloon rides typically launch from Yountville just after sunrise, when the air is calm and cool. As the balloon lifts, the view of the valley slowly unfolds with winding country roads and the Mayacamas and Vaca Mountains stretching in the distance.
The flight lasts about an hour and offers a peaceful perspective of wine country before the day begins. Many rides end with a glass of sparkling wine after landing, a light and celebratory touch that feels distinctly Napa.
Early mornings can be crisp, so layers are recommended—a light jacket, comfortable shoes, and sunglasses once the sun rises higher. From this vantage point above the vines, guests can experience Napa Valley’s landscape and charm in one of its most enchanting seasons. Afterward, guests often continue the morning with breakfast in town or a leisurely stroll through Yountville’s charming shops and tasting rooms.
