What's a zeppelin?  It's a floating airship - looks like a blimp, but has a rigid internal frame covered with a canvas hull.  And, it's the newest way to see the San Francisco Bay area and wine country north of San Francisco. 

Airship Ventures is a new tour company which is offering three air tours: 

1. Leaving from Moffett Field south of San Francisco and heading north, flying over the Golden Gate Bridge
2. Leaving from the Oakland Business Jet Center and flying over San Francisco landmarks, as well as the Golden Gate Bridge
3. Leaving the Charles M. Schulz Sonoma county airport and flying over wineries of the Russian River Valley or the Anderson Valley

From Oakland Business Jet Center
