Flew with California Dreamin 20+ years ago (several times since too) in the San Diego area and was my first choice to take my daughter on something she would remember for the rest of her life... to celebrate her graduating from college. All the people so nice, from Dave the owner to his son Dylan (pilot) and the rest of the gang. Makes you feel like family. Be prepared for something amazing! Gets me how quiet it is, hundreds of ft in the air and you can perfectly hear people talking on the ground. Bring a hat, as the heat from the burners overhead can be a tad warm, especially if you are follicly challenged (balding). Dave is "The Goat" as far as I'm concerned in ballooning. Plus he makes a great bottle of wine! If timing permits and you like wine, head to his winery "Vindemia". Ask him to join you for a glass and you may end up there for hours listening to his wide ranging experiences. Very interesting guy!

Peace. Tranquility. This is what I felt while we were in the air: no turbulence, no noise minus our fellow riders, no cars or freeway. I told my wife that it was the most tranquil I have felt in years. Great team of
Pilot and staff, now I wish to share with my son next time.

Before: The four stars are for the lack of fine tuning in the other little things. Booked through trip advisor, got one rate. Called to confirm and was told it was actually a lower rate because our flight was during the week. Still charged the higher weekend rate.
During: The balloon ride itself is great with spectacular views. Pilot is clearly experienced and has a small staff of hard working people. Owner did not object when we helped with the actual pulling and deflating of the balloon. Definitely fun.
After: Went back to the winery and waited around in parking lot to receive complimentary wine bottle. Others received theirs and had already left. 10-15 min. still nothing, we assume they forgot. Felt a little awkward to keep waiting...as we were driving away someone ran down the hill with a bottle.
Overall: Other balloon companies are just as good. Our flight went a long distance in the time allotted. But in fairness, other balloons were out before us while others were at higher elevations.

Dylan, our pilot, was a wealth of knowledge and a master of the art of ballooning! His assistants were friendly and hard working. The flight was amazing and views from the ocean to the mountains was breathtaking!

Highly recommend this company! You’re up in the air for an hour. The basket you’re in is divided into sections so you have your own basket space (shown picture). The one flying the hot air balloon knows his stuff, a well experienced and friendly guy. He is the owner’s son and he practiced flying hot air balloons ever since he was young. No food provided but there are drinks provided at the end. Feel free to ask any questions it helps to keep conversation going when up in the air :)

So many wonderful things to say about this experience! Staff was professional, kind and knowledgeable. Our pilot provided information on the vineyards, citrus groves, and all things “balloon speak”. Weather was perfect and such a magical experience floating above Temecula. We were able to have 360 degree views high and low. Highly recommend!! These guys are family owned and classy!

Our group trip ended with a light breakfast at a winery. I am sure you could arrange a more complete winery experience. It is an incredible experience.
