Guests will savor the fruits of the wine country on a personalized five hour tour in a chauffeured luxury sedan.

The informative winery tour will be customized based on your individual wine preferences.

The beauty of Napa Valley's rolling vineyards is lovely from the ground between the vines, but even more exquisite from the skies! Starting just after sunrise, step into your hot-air balloon and watch the valley come alive as you float up to 2,000 feet in the air. Enjoy coffee before and sparkling wine after, celebrating your silent journey gliding along the California horizon.
