We had an amazing time ballooning in the valley! All of the staff were fun, friendly and professional. The views were breathtaking and our pilot Ignacio-aka Nacho was excellent. We felt safe throughout the entire ride. He explained a lot of what(and why) he was doing and was willing to answer all questions. He has a great personality and made the trip a blast! The location is easy to find and the company kept in touch with updates leading up to our trip.I highly recommend this tour-it’s well-worth the early morning to see the sunrise from 1000ish feet.

Amazing experience. Chad is an excellent pilot and just a riot. Learned so much. At moments, floating over the vineyards, I felt complete serenity. There were some moments of thrilling excitement. Chad taught us about navigation, but made sure that everybody stayed safe. Highly recommend this.

What a great experience with Sonoma Ballooning! Everyone was super friendly. Sean greeted and checked us in and had tons of fun with guests and jokes. The safety briefing was fun and thorough. There were light treats and coffee available before our flight. Our pilot was Mateo and gave us lots of cool information about the flight and landmarks we were seeing. We couldnt have been more lucky with the beautiful, clear weather! After we did our champagne toast we spoke with Jose and learned so many things about flying hot air balloons. Overall a really awesome experience and I would highly recommend going with Sonoma Ballooning if a hot air balloon flight is on your list! The pilots also shared the route of your flight with guests which was something really cool to takeaway and look back on.

What a delightful way to start a day in Sonoma! Everyone was so helpful and down-to-earth - our pilot Luis and trainer Chad were kind and hilarious; they took us on a magical trip where we flew over soft hills and a stunning array of vineyards. I wouldn’t miss this!

Title: Captain Jeff: A Hero in the SkiesCaptain Jeff is a true master of the skies, and I couldnt have asked for a better guide for my first hot air balloon ride.

His witty jokes and light-hearted banter not only eased my nerves but also created a sense of camaraderie among all the passengers.

Despite his jovial nature, he made it clear that safety was his top priority, explaining all the safety procedures in a clear and concise manner before takeoff. Throughout the flight, he constantly checked in with us, ensuring that everyone felt secure and comfortable.Thanks to Captain Jeff, my fear of heights quickly melted away as I marveled at the breathtaking views from above. His expertise and warmth transformed what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into an unforgettable adventure filled with laughter and joy.In summary, if youre ever considering a hot air balloon ride and want to feel safe, entertained, and in good hands, look no further than Captain Jeff.

Had an incredibly calm and peaceful flight over the stunning Sonoma valley vineyards! Luis and Chad took amazing care of us, along side Jeff and the rest of the friendly crew! They took lots of pics for everyone and kept the giggles coming the whole trip! Would love to do it again in the fall to see the changing of the leaves next time!

The only hot air balloon experience Ive ever done, but our pilot, Chad, was great. He answered questions, kept it light, and gave us information about the surroundings. Then theres complimentary champagne at the end! 🍾🥂

What an amazing and relaxing time! I treated my mom for Mothers Day, and she was over the moon about it. Chad, our pilot, was pure awesomeness - he kept us entertained the whole way through! Don’t wait to book your flight, we’re definitely coming back!

Captain Chad was the best pilot! Beautiful views of rolling hills as far as the eye can see. Felt super safe and amazing soft landing. Would’ve loved to experience the rodeo landing! Thank you Sonoma ballooning!
