Hot Air Balloon Ride
For many, a visit to Napa Valley is incomplete without an exciting and safe hot air balloon ride above the Valley floor. Greet the morning as you rise slowly and quietly to view the expanding panorama of vineyards, wineries, and pristine communities below. You will see the mountainous terrain that borders the Valley to the east and west from a perspective only possible from the possible altitude. You may spot some of the wineries you will visit during one of the Napa Valley wine tours.
Napa’s Porchfest
Another “can’t-miss” recurring musical event is the Porchfest in Oldtown Napa. Held annually on the last Sunday in July, Porchfest is touted as “a giant block party in downtown Napa.” Visitors stroll from location to location to see and hear local musicians performing from the front porches of many of the historic buildings and businesses in the area.
