The Napa Valley Wine Country is one of the most wonderful places on earth, not only for growing premium wine grapes, but also for soaring peacefully in colorful hot air balloons with Bonaventura Balloon Company, Inc. Ballooning is very gentle and peaceful, putting the world below into perspective. Lush vineyards and world-famous wineries drift into view, giving you the unmatched feeling of being above it all.

And what a way to get married - Bonaventura provides ballooning excursions par excellence over the most scenic Upper Valley. We limit reservations to allow personalized attention, just one magnificent flight per morning with each balloon. A complimentary Champagne Celebration to toast your accomplishment and breakfast options follow flights. Most excursions last 3-4 hours, including preflight and post-flight activities, but there are several 1-8 day Getaways including lodging, spa packages and weddings.

We're recommended by Forbes, NY Times, Frommers, Insiders Guide, Gourmet, Travel Holiday, Universal Studios, ABC-TV, BBC, PBS and more, Bonaventura is the balloon company with a difference! We have a world-class reputation that attracts guests from around the globe, ranging from 5 to 100 years old.

Bonaventura offers a unique, exhilarating adventure for a few hours or more: unparalleled experiences in a legendary place, for those who are adventurous and those who simply want to relax with the world at their feet!

Come enjoy an innovative, delightful combination of traditional and new as hundreds of yards of colorful, silky fabric create a kaleidoscope canopy overhead. Picture yourself and your partner in a lovely wicker basket as beautiful as ornaments on a cake, exchanging vows as champagne is toasted, the ropes are cut, and lifting off like a huge butterfly sailing on the wind! The owner of Bonaventura, Joyce Bowen, is a licensed minister as well as pilot, and can perform the ceremony either before or after take-off, high above the beauty of the Napa Valley.

Flowers, photography, music, lovely champagne breakfasts catered to your needs, and romantic lodging for you or out-of-town guests all are available options with Bonaventura's personalized wedding packages.
