Hot Air Balloon Ride in the Spring » BALLOONS ABOVE THE VALLEY | Napa Balloon RIde

People who have participated in more than one Napa balloon ride discover that the amazing views change with each season.

During summer, the leaf canopies blanket the vine rows laden with brilliant greenery and ripening fruit. The vineyard vegetation is considerably thinner in the late summer and fall after the harvest. However, the brilliant fall colors of surrounding trees and plants still offer a stunning view.

By December, as the temperatures drop, the vineyards become dormant. Vineyard managers begin the severe wintertime pruning to reduce the vine structure to the minimum in preparation for the next crop year.

Colors of a Napa Valley Springtime: Mustard Rows

Many experienced Napa balloon ride passengers prefer to observe the visual transformation of late winter and early spring when some of the most dramatic changes occur.

Just as the vines awaken from their wintertime dormancy, the bright yellow blooms of mustard plants appear between the vineyard rows.

From the vantage point of a hot air balloon Napa Valley, passengers are always amazed by the breathtaking appearance of the vivid yellow mustard foliage across the landscape, a vision best appreciated from their loftier perspective.

Vineyard Foliage Appears

Depending on the prevailing weather, the vines begin to sprout new growth at a particular moment in the early spring. Fresh leaves appear on each vine to signal a new season’s growth and development.

The vines flower in only a few weeks, creating another panorama of bright colors and new crop development.

The flowers will gradually turn to buds and will eventually “break” to create those wonderful grape bunches that, with a bit of skill and magic, will be harvested and converted into some of the world’s most sought-after wines.
