Virginia Hot Air Balloon Ride
Float soundlessly above the brilliant Virginia countryside. Appreciate Monticello’s perfect symmetry from high above. Trace the glint of a river as it meanders through Piedmont farmland.
Virginia as you’ve never seen it. A view you will never forget. Balloons embark right from our front door.
The Balloon Experience
The whoosh of hot air as the balloon begins to fill. A nine-story tower of color and movement that seems to fill the sky. A charming wicker passenger basket—your own domain for an hour of airborne tranquility. After your flight, enjoy a complimentary champagne celebration back at the Inn.
Balloon Flights Daily
Weather permitting, balloons fly every day at sunrise and in the evening during cooler months.
Balloon Reservations
If possible, please reserve your hot air balloon ride two to three weeks
