We arrived at our meeting location-Domain Chandon-about 30 minutes before our excursion began, and was greeted with coffee, tea, snacks and a beautiful gas fireplace that knocked off the cool morning air in Napa Valley. We started on time, completed some paperwork, received a safety briefing, divided in to groups, and transported in clean vans to our launch site. At the launch site, we watched as teams inflated our hot air ballon and performed detailed safety checks. We subsequently boarded the ballon and away we went. Ahhhhh, it was a beautiful clear day in Napa Valley. We could see the San Francisco off in the distance, and about 11 other balloons navigating the airspace in and around us. The views were breathtaking! Our flight lasted about an hour. We safely landed and was transported back to Domain Chandon where we enjoyed a wonderful champagne brunch! I highly recommend this tour! It is a must do when visiting Napa.
