About Sonoma Valley Balloons
With its sprawling, emerald vineyards, slate-colored lakes, and winding rivers, the Sonoma Valley seems unfairly intended for birds. However, Sonoma Valley Balloons' FAA-certified balloon pilots have more than 30 years of experience rebelling against gravity. Each day, weather permitting, they lift the hot air crafts from the ground and navigate them along the morning sky's gentle air currents with little sensation of motion and wind, providing passengers with views of the San Francisco Skyline, Russian River, Pacific Coast, geysers, mountains, vineyards, and Redwood Forest. After the balloon lands, guests enjoy a champagne toast and can opt for a made-to-order brunch.
The fleet of balloons are designed with safety in mind, each providing secure compartments that can accommodate 2 to 6 passengers. All pilots are fully insured and licensed by the California Public Utilities Commission and United States Department of Transportation, ensuring a safe, professional flight.
