Anyone ever go on a hot air balloon ride over Napa Valley? Which company did you choose to book with, would you recommend them, what was your favorite part, how long ago did you go and what time of the year was it?

Thanks!

You don't go to Napa for the hot air balloon rides. You go to Napa for the wine.

Wine is the reason we are going.

I agree, get a driver and your checkbook. Napa is overpriced you can up and down the Russian river wineries north of Santa Rosa for half the price. The is wine is just as good.

The concierge at Silverado lined ours up. We were not even staying there but was very helpful. Best in summer as fall spring and winter in Napa can be prety chilly early am and pm

Nobody tell him anything, he is obviously depressed after Florida's loss, and letting him get into a hot air balloon is not a good idea. Im kidding, I would never get in anything like that due to my fear of heights.

I go to Napa for superior auto parts. I didn't even know they had wine. :D

I'll be visiting friends in Napa over New Years. Family friend used to work for Beringer wine. I have no knowledge on balloon rides.
