Up & Away Ballooning, Calistoga
Hot Air Balloon Flight & Brunch for Two
Value: $493
Up & Away Ballooning offers daily scenic hot air balloon flights over Sonoma County. Your adventure will begin at daybreak when the winds are gentle.
You’ll meet, pre-flight, at the renowned Healdsburg Shed in Healdsburg. Arrive a few minutes early and enjoy coffee and pastries. After everyone has checked in and a brief pilot orientation, you are taken to a launch site determined by a pilot to provide you with the safest, most scenic flight available for that morning.
As you arrive at the launch site, you will be greeted by the colorful, larger than life balloon that will carry you away on your early morning adventure. Once the crew has completed the inflation and the balloon is standing upright, the pilot will call you to join him in the basket. You climb in and it’s Up and Away!
The pilot adds heat to the balloon and it gently floats into the early morning sky revealing the glorious scenery below. Navigating the morning winds, your pilot seconds as your guide, sharing with you points of interests from the local region and stories of ballooning and its history.
Your flight reaches its conclusion and the balloon returns to earth. Your first thought is “let’s go again!” You carefully disembark as your ground crew works diligently to deflate the balloon.
Once your feet are on solid ground again, you will be taken to a post-flight breakfast to toast another successful flight and beautiful day. Enjoy the farm-to-table gourmet breakfast and a mimosa or glass of sparkling wine while you savor some of the best that Healdsburg has to offer. Working with only the freshest seasonal ingredients, executive chef Perry Hoffman and his Healdsburg Shed team prepare a breakfast unlike anything around.
After completing you early morning adventure, enjoy browsing around Healdsburg Shed’s market place or a short walk around Healdsburg, one of the jewels of Sonoma County.
No expiration date. Children must be at least 7 years old and 48 inches tall. The entire experience is approximately four hours. For safety reasons, expectant mothers can NOT fly.
