Fly Private to Napa Valley

Your private jet to Napa Valley lands minutes from the vineyards, not hours. Magellan Jets coordinates every detail before you touch down, from ground transportation to private vineyard tastings and a full-estate buyout at the Howard Backen Estate on Pritchard Hill. Your Private Aviation Advisor builds the journey around your schedule, your palate, and the people who matter most. This is how Napa deserves to be discovered.

Private Estate Living

The Howard Backen Estate on Pritchard Hill becomes yours entirely for the duration of your stay, with no other guests on the property. Wake up overlooking the vineyards of Pritchard Hill, then shape your experience around what inspires you: sunrise hot air balloon rides, sound baths, bespoke spa treatments, or simply a quiet morning on the terrace.

Experience Napa’s 
Best Kept Secrets

Magellan Jets Sommelier Jesse Rodriguez curates every tasting around your preferences. Formerly Head Sommelier at The French Laundry, Jesse arranges private access to vineyards like Ovid, Continuum Estate, and Bryant Estate. Winemakers open their cellars, share rare vintages, and create experiences designed around your group.

From vineyard to table, every detail is considered. Dine with the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group, including reservations at The French Laundry and Bouchon. Or enjoy a bespoke meal prepared at the estate by Chef Stefani De Palma, former Head Chef for Team USA at the 2024 Bocuse d’Or Americas.

Moments Worth Savoring

Every Magellan Jets Journeys experience is a curated suggestion designed to inspire, not a fixed itinerary. Your Private Aviation Advisor and the Magellan Jets team handle all logistics, including ground transfers, vineyard reservations, dining, and on-site wellness experiences. Every aircraft is sourced through the Magellan Jets Preferred Network, an exclusive group of rigorously vetted operators. These experiences are available exclusively to Magellan Jets Private Clients. You focus on the moment. We handle everything else.
