Are you planning a hot air balloon ride in California wine country and trying to decide between Sonoma Ballooning and Napa Valley Aloft, Napa Valley Balloons or Balloon Above The Valley? One factor to consider is the distance between the ballooning companies.
Sonoma Ballooning is located on the eastern edge of the town of Sonoma, which is 8.1 miles west of Napa and 2.3 miles south of the historic Sonoma Plaza. On the other hand, Napa Valley Aloft and Napa Valley Balloons are located in the town of Yountville itself, which is 9 miles from central Napa.
While the distance between the ballooning companies may not be the most important factor in your decision, it’s worth considering if you’re trying to minimize driving time or looking for a ballooning company that’s closer to your accommodations. Many South Napa and all Carneros Region hotels and resorts are considerable closer to Sonoma Ballooning and many North Napa, Yountville and Calistoga are closer to the Napa Balloon Companies
Of course, there are other factors to consider when choosing a hot air balloon company, such as the views and experience offered, the size of the balloons, and the overall cost. It’s worth doing some research to find the best fit for you.
Sonoma Ballooning; is the only 5-star rated balloon company in California. Sonoma is often called the Napa of 20 years ago for its low stress vibe and less crowded experiences and Sonoma Ballooning is no exception. There are many more welcomed landing opportunities in the Sonoma (which includes the Carneros regions) leading to much more appealing ballooning experiences.
In summary we think it might be worth it to research the best location to balloon in Sonoma and Napa.
