See the Californian sunrise on a hot air balloon ride

Your hot air balloon adventure will begin at La Vindemia, a private vineyard in the middle of Temecula wine country – centrally located between San Diego and Los Angeles. Arriving shortly before sunrise, enjoy a cup of hot coffee, cocoa or tea before we lift off.

During your hot air balloon ride, we’ll float peacefully over the scenic landscape of Temecula, overlooking the impressive rolling hills, lush vineyards, and red tile roofs of country estates and ranches. You’ll have a bird’s eye view of renowned local wineries such as South Coast Winery and Resort, Ponte Estate Winery and Mount Palomar Winery, to name just a few. Your pilot will act as your tour guide, equipped with plenty of knowledge about the wine world below you and ready to answer any questions you may have during the ride. We will fly between three and seven miles in the course of an hour, before we settle down, ready to return to La Vindemia.

After your balloon flight, enjoy a delicious breakfast of pastries, specialty fruits, champagne mimosas, and juice, tea or coffee, in a private rose garden. Surrounded by beautiful flowers in a lovely setting, this is the perfect way to round off your ballooning experience.

California Dreamin’ offers morning and evening balloon rides over the Temecula Valley as well as biplane rides in their 1928 Travel Air biplane.
