Give the one you love the gift of flight.  A gift certificate for a hot air balloon ride from Monticello Country Ballooning.

Come join us for a private flight over some of Virginia's most beautiful and historic landscapes.  Enjoy the panoramic view from our balloon as our experienced pilots guide you on your aerial adventure.  We spend one to one and a half hours in the air, but passengers should plan on spending  3 hours with us for the whole experience.  All flights culminate in the traditional champagne  (or beverage of your choice) toast.  We also include flight certificates and digital photographs as part of our flight package.  We offer sunrise and sunset flights daily, weather permitting.
 

Your morning or afternoon flight will begin with being picked up at your accommodations or meeting us at a designated location.  Passengers are an integral part of the balloon experience and you even get to participate with the assembly of the aircraft as well as aid in the inflation.  After our ground crew has taken some pictures, we lift into the air and float with the wind.  After an hour or more, we set down gently into a suitable area where our ground crew awaits us- taking pictures of course!  It takes approximately half an hour to deflate and disassemble the balloon, load it up and get back to the launch site where we perform the traditional post flight toast.  We make a copy of your flight photographs for you on the spot and the pilot and crew endorse your flight certificates documenting your flight.

 


Monticello Country Ballooning is pleased to announce its second balloon, a Cameron O-105 "Windplay".
