Meeting Location

We offer complimentary pick-up in the Napa and Yountville area (must be requested), however if we are not picking up, our meeting location is located at the Redwood Plaza, near Starbucks.  Meeting time varies depending on the time of year you book, but it is generally 30-45 minutes prior to sunrise.  

 

Get there early to enjoy your cup of Starbucks!  Last chance to use the restroom before we shuttle you to the launch site.  NO BATHROOMS at the launch site or in the balloons!
