Snow capped mountains to the east, the pacific coast to the west, a landscape of lush rolling hills and a climate of ocean swept air, this is Temecula, southern California’s wine country.

The word Temecula is from the Lucano Indian language which means “Valley of the Sun”.

Temecula is an area with magnificent natural splendor, steeped in rich history and covered with beautiful vineyards. Temecula has numerous world class resorts and casinos, a wealth of activities, sports, entertainment and historic old town. Old town Temecula maintains it’s original wild west architecture and is full of antique specialities, restaurants, museums and boutique stores. Temecula is also home to the world famous Temecula Balloon and Wine Festival.

Temecula looks amazing from the air! As the sun begins to rise, you’ll float over luxurious resorts, estate wineries, orchards and ranches - surrounded by beautiful lakes and seasonally snow capped mountains. You’ll see an abundance of wildlife thanks to the natural landscape and rolling hills. Clear days will provide views of the pacific ocean and our local islands.

Our balloon port is at the Meadows Village Shopping Center parking lot, located in the Temecula wine country. Free parking and available restrooms.

Although the balloon ride is about 45 minutes to one hour in the air, the entire early morning experience will last about 2 1/2 hours. It includes transportation from our meeting site to our launch site (determined at check-in time), a pre-flight safety briefing while the balloon is being assembled, the balloon ride itself, a post flight celebration with champagne, juice or mimosa toast, an assortment of individually wrapped breakfast items, ground transportation back to our meeting site, a commemorative flight certificate, free digital souvenir pictures, complimentary celebratory banners, and 2 for 1 wine tasting vouchers and other discounts to several local Temecula wineries.
