Here’s a lofty half off deal that lets you float in a big balloon over the vineyards, trees, hillsides and fields of beautiful California Wine Country. We found one deal that starts in Santa Rosa and another in Napa Valley.

DEAL 1: Above the Wine Country Hot Air Balloon Flight – discount rates vary, but usually at least $5 off per person. Spend three to five hours with approximately 1 to 1.5 hours of flight time, depending on landing opportunities. What I like about this deal is you can participate ʻhands onʼ with the set up and inflation process. Then toast the pilot, crew and fellow passengers at a champagne brunch, complete with a full made-to-order menu to choose from. Above the Wine Country Balloons, Kal’s Kaffe Mocha (just one hour north of San Francisco off Hwy 101), 397 Aviation Boulevard, Santa Rosa, CA 95403. More info or call 800-313-8056 for Reservation Assistance.

DEAL 2: Balloons Above the Valley – One hour Napa Valley Balloon Ride and Brunch package for $115, about half off the regular price from WatchHalfOff.com. After your flight, you can toast to a great day while enjoying a complimentary champagne brunch. To get this deal, buy the gift certificate and then call 1-800-GO-HOT-AIR to book your reservation. As always, read the fine print for details and restrictions. Balloons Above the Valley is also currently offering buy in advance $185 package ($175 for Bay Area residents) on their website www.balloonrides.com. Balloons Above the Valley, 603 California Blvd, Napa CA. 800-464-6824.
