What a perfect and personalized gift idea for the holidays! Even if you’re too busy opening your other Christmas gifts to find time to fly over the Sonoma Wine Country at Christmas time, this Flight Certificate can be used to fly any time within the following new year so you can choose your favorite season – spring summer or fall. It’s something you can definitely look forward to sharing with friends and relatives visiting you here in Northern California. A balloon ride is the perfect excuse to plan a weekend getaway if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are just a couple hours drive from Sacramento, San Jose and even less distance from Oakland and the East Bay. Our meeting site is located only ten minutes north of Santa Rosa, just 50 miles from the Golden Gate Bridge. Once you fill out your booking request on our website, tell us the caption you would like it to say on your Gift Flight Certificate and the person’s name its intended for and we’ll send you a digital version, in color, that you can print and present on Christmas Day.
We can include some spectacular photos of our unique beautifully colored hot air balloons flying over the lush Russian River Valley growing area, originating from exclusive launch sites designed to take advantage of the perfect wind conditions for your balloon flight. All of our balloon flight corridors are surrounded by more than 50,000 acres of gorgeous vineyards which supply premium grapes for more than 600 world class wineries. Kendal Jackson, Korbel Champagne Cellars, Rodney Strong, Ledson Winery, Kenwood, Glen Ellen, Francis Ford Coppola in Geyserville and many others. Compared to the Napa Valley, Sonoma is far more expansive in size and considerably more diverse in producing various wines from many different and original grape varietals. When it comes to ballooning, our privilege of choosing our own launch sites from different locations throughout the region allows us to view the very best portions of multiple valleys including Dry Creek Valley, Alexander Valley, Sonoma Valley, Russian River Valley, Knights Valley and Carneros wine growing region.
