Wine Country Balloons - Santa Rosa, California

Imagine being held aloft by the winds, hovering the carpeted landscape of Sonoma below. The wonder fills you as your pilot regales you with the history of the land you effortlessly hover above.

Wine Country Balloons hosted us on a gorgeous autumn afternoon where Sonoma displayed her beautiful colors.

The experience was absolutely breathtaking.

Reservations were easy to navigate. Scott,our pilot, was a generous host who saw to our comfort, safety, and facilitated a beautiful flight!

Much gratitude to the entire crew who welcomed me to my first flight. It will not be my last!

Oh. My. Goodness. Thank you Scott and Crew for one of the most amazing times of my life. Floating in the Hot Air Balloon felt incredibly like I had dreamt numerous times in my life only now, WOW! There I was actually in the process of floating high above the ground in a rainbow colored Hot Air Balloon. WHEW! WEEEEEE! Scott is incredibly comfortable and at ease with his five decades of piloting experience and knowledge. His plethora of entertaining stories did not disappoint whatsoever as I was simultaneously intent on listening and determined to take in and absorb all the glorious views. This was my first 'Wine Country Balloons' Adventure and definitely not my last! YAHOO!!

Had a fantastic flight in Sonoma Valley with Scott! The basket doors were essential for accommodating those of us old enough to not be climbing in and out of a basket. Great communication, and awesome crew. The whole morning was a beautiful experience, start-to-finish. Highly recommend!!

A hot air balloon ride has always been on my bucket list and Scott and his crew at Wine Country Balloon Rides made it an amazing experience. Lifting into the air and gliding on the air currents seemed effortless and so smooth. To see the countryside from that view was spectacular and Scott gives you lots of information about ballooning. Getting to help fill the balloon and then folding it up again was also a neat experience. Contact Scott for a ride of a life time.

Went on a wonderful tour with Wine Country Balloons this weekend. A great way to spend time to see the beauty of wine country. Captain Scott was awesome and we had an awesome time. We will definitely do this again when we're in the area!

The entire experience was beyond what I had imagined. Scott was a terrific pilot. He put us at ease with his good humor, his incredible knowledge of hot air balloon piloting, and his expertise at handling the balloon. His crew was also personable and professional. The presentation at the end of our adventure, complete with champagne, was the icing on the cake. It was a terrific way to celebrate turning 60 with my lifelong friends.

I had an amazing experience with Wine Country Balloons! Scott made the journey so memorable with his kindness, humor, and informative commentary. His knowledge of the region made it feel like a tour of Sonoma from the skies. His passion for ballooning was palpable, and it really elevated the entire experience. The breathtaking views are forever in my memory! I felt safe the entire time. The crew was super professional and kind as well. It was truly an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

This was awesome and the highlight of our trip to Wine Country. Scott was so knowledgeable and talked to us about the hot air balloon process, it’s history and many of his adventures. If you wanted to help with setting up the balloon you could/and I did! His crew were all nice and insured we had a good trip! Highly recommend this to anyone.
