This is a must do on your trip to Napa. This balloon ride was phenomenal. We felt much more movement on our airplane take off from the East Coast then we did during liftoff in the 16-person balloon. Chris, our captain, gave us a great time. They have a camera to take pictures of your journey and we took a lot of pictures with our cell phones. The one thing that people should take heed of is a recommendation to wear a baseball hat. It gets a little hot on your heads with a balloon, if you do not bring one, you will probably wind up buying one.
You don't really need it, but I would bring one anyway. The champagne breakfast after was good. Depending on the weather you may not take off from Napa, domain Shandong. Because of the fog, we had to drive 45 minutes to Southern Sacramento. It was not a big deal, but we could have been a little bit later and may have missed our tour at 10:30. You can have your tour company pick you up at Domaine Chandon, if you're concerned. We actually wound up not having any issues, were back with breakfast by 9:30.
