We launch from the Spectacular Sierra Nevada Foothills just 30 minutes East of Sacramento in Rancho Murieta. This area is one of the best kept secrets in Northern California!
After the flight you can continue up Jackson Highway as the area has many Award Winning Vineyards. Incredibly, almost all of the wineries offer free wine tasting and tours. From simple drive yourself wine tasting tours on up to catered picnics with limousine shuttles from vineyard to vineyard we can help you make the most of your stay in the area!

We meet our clients at the Rancho Murieta Private Airport. 7443 Murieta Dr. in Rancho Murieta, CA 96863. Please park in the first lot you come to (avoid driving onto the tarmac) we will meet you inside the Airport Office with fresh coffee!

Meeting Times:
We meet at Sunrise! Please be prompt as we cannot delay the launch time. Due to the weather requirements of hot air ballooning, an early meeting time is critical for safe flying. Remember to call in between 10:00am and 6:00pm the day before the flight to verify favorable weather conditions. Failure to do so may result in being billed as a no show.
What to Wear/Bring:
Dress in layers as it will warm up later in the morning. Please wear closed toe shoes or closed toe sandals. Camera with lots of film/memory. Sunscreen, mosquito repellent, hat, and happy face. Sorry, but no cell phones are allowed to be “on” in the basket unless previously arranged.
