Hot Air Balloon Over Napa Valley

Napa Valley is one of the premier hot air ballooning locations in California, with flights launching at dawn over rolling vineyards. The patchwork of vineyards, morning fog, and Mayacamas Mountains create iconic aerial landscapes. Balloons typically launch from the southern end of the valley near Yountville.

Silverado Trail Vineyards

The Silverado Trail runs 29 miles along the eastern edge of Napa Valley, paralleling Highway 29 with less traffic and more intimate vineyard views. The road passes through a continuous corridor of vineyards with the Vaca Mountains as a backdrop to the east. Fall foliage transforms the grapevines into brilliant shades of gold, orange, and red from late October through November.
