Daily sunrise flights with brunch at Kendall-Jackson winery.
Daily
Visit WebsiteSunrise flight followed by champagne brunch in the Kendall-Jackson Wine Estate gardens — the only Sonoma balloon operator with a formal winery brunch partnership built into every flight.
Up & Away Ballooning has flown daily sunrise flights out of Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport for over twenty-five years, with owner Mike Kijak holding what the operation cites as a 100% positive safety record across that span. The differentiator here is the post-flight pairing: Up & Away has built a long-running partnership with Kendall-Jackson, and every flight ends with a champagne brunch in the Kendall-Jackson Wine Estate gardens — not a hotel breakfast bag, not airport tables, but a winery garden experience that turns the morning from a flight into a full first-half-of-the-day event.
Flights run daily April through October (weather permitting year-round), launching at sunrise and floating an hour over the Russian River Valley, vineyards, and pasturelands of Sonoma County. The basket carries up to fourteen passengers, which is on the smaller end of wine country balloon capacity — meaning more space per person and more time with the pilot. The Kendall-Jackson brunch is served in the formal estate gardens after the flight, paired with Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve and other estate selections. The combined balloon-plus-winery brunch format positions Up & Away as the most decisive single-purchase wine country morning Sonoma offers.
