A Balloon Over Sonoma

What to Expect Launch Time: Most flights take off just after sunrise when winds are calmest and light is spectacular.

Duration: Flights typically last 45 min–1 hr in the air, with the whole experience taking ~3 hrs. Extras: Many include post-flight champagne toast or brunch celebrations.
