WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Pre-Flight: Your morning will begin only 3 miles from downtown Sonoma at Sonoma Skypark, a quant, privately held airport owned by a small community of local aviation enthusiasts. The airport’s special hangers shelter many antique and classic aircraft and offers the perfect starting point for your morning adventure.

  • The Flight: Our well trained and skilled crew ensures your safe and comfortable launch. The balloon will gently lift into the early morning breeze and peacefully carry you above corridors of grapes, the Sonoma Valley Gateway and above Sonoma’s world renowned landscape.

  • Post-Flight: After landing you are accompanied by our team and driven back to Sonoma Skypark where our traditional sparkling wine celebration begins. At Skypark, guests are treated to Gloria Ferrer’s legendary Sonoma Brut sparkling wine and an assortment of sweet and savory breakfast pastries from Sonoma’s famous Basque Boulangerie Bakery.
