“Yep It's great and there was an extra”

Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

The balloon ride over the Napa valley was great and this Memorial Day weekend the weather was superb. The extra was the captain of our balloon - Jay the original owner. Not only did he take us on extended trip- further than the rest of the ballooners, he treated us to a great descent into a vineyard. Later at the... More

“The best experiance to fly aloft in a beautiful hot air balloon.”

Reviewed 21 May 2012

person found this review helpful

Family owned company, the extended knowledge of the area, and the unique and exclusive lounch site from the parking lot of the V-Marcketplace in Yountville, Ca, makes Napa Valley Aloft my favorite choice for ballooning over Napa's amazing wine country.

“Awesome experience”

Reviewed 19 May 2012

I did not think I'd enjoy a hot air balloon ride as much as I did. Siblings Gretchen and Jason own the company with their dad, and they were excellent pilots and hosts. They are very well travelled and so we had great conversations with them. The view of Napa Valley from the top was awesome. Highly recommended!

Thanks to Jason and the Aloft crew for making my wife and my anniversary a special one. The fun dialogue and knowledge of the Napa Valley was great and the view was unbeatable. Thanks to Mother Nature for giving us such a great day too. This is a must do.

“Great experience”

Reviewed 12 April 2012

First, I must say I agree with every other review. We picked this company because we would have been 8 in a balloon instead of 16/24... We ended up being 6 + Jayson. After watching another hot air balloon land beside us and completely tip over (apparently this is quite common), we were able to have the smoothest landing because... More

It is so wonderful when people recognize and appreciate the "difference" we try to make in keeping the "personal touch" with our passengers. We actually WANT to you and you to know us! That way we both come away something even more meaningful... More

“Napa Valley Aloft was PERFECT!”

Reviewed 19 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I chose Napa Valley Aloft after careful consideration and made the perfect choice. Their site mentions that they take off from a parking lot but the lot was in the middle of an an extremely cute and ritzy dining area of Yountville. I'm telling you... Yountville is very high end and nothing like I have ever experienced. I noticed that... More

“The Way Air-Ballooning through Napa should be done”

Reviewed 14 January 2012

Incredible experience. We were very fortunate to have done a private trip on one of the clearest days of the year. The views from the basket were exactly what I’d always pictured. I think it was a great idea of Napa Valley Aloft to let us watch all of the preparations for liftoff, including the inflation of the balloon. On... More

Reviewed 2 January 2012

Seeing Napa Valley in the sunrise from a balloon was a breathtaking experience! Our pilot had great stories about Napa and ballooning, which made the ride even more fun and interesting. As we floated south through the Valley, we saw a number of other balloons taking off fom more southern locations--we were happy Napa Valley Aloft took flight from the... More

“Make it a point to see Napa Valley by Hot Air Balloon with Napa Valley Aloft!”

Reviewed 31 December 2011

What a way to see Napa Valley! Our pilot Jason has a long heritage with Napa Valley, his Dad started the first hot air balloon there. Flying is only done in the early morning hours to take advantage of the air stability. Fog is a problem in NP, so we had to re-schedule from Tues to Wed until finally Thurs,... More

It was so wonderful meeting you two!!!! We were soooo happy to finally get the chance to provide you the flight you waited so patiently for! That's why it's a good idea to book your reservation for the earliest time in your trip...it increases your chances of being able to fly when the weather just won't cooperate! Thank you for... More

“No Hot Air!”

Reviewed 29 December 2011

My wife purchased a balloon trip with Napa Valley Aloft for our wedding anniversary and I have to say I was a little nervous, as I have a fear of heights. However, from the moment preparations began to the pinpoint soft landing, Jason, the pilot, reassured us and made the whole trip both memorable and informative. We learned about the... More

That was a beautiful morning! We're so glad the weather cooperated for you! The way you described the view from aloft was very inspiring! This shows that you can fly anytime of year and Napa Valley is always lovely! You talked about being afraid of heights, as so many people are! Isn't it lovely up there? That fear goes right... More
