Rise over Napa Valley at sunrise with coffee, pastries, pilot stories, vineyard views, and sparkling wine after a 45-minute balloon flight.

“The experience is highly dependent on the weather.. The Napa Valley was cloud covered so we were transported 40 minutes to Pope Valley which had no wind ..so it felt like a tethered balloon ride. The pilot and crew were wonderful and I realize this was not their fault….just nature and disappointing from what I had envisioned.”

“Great Trip! The weather was wonderful with clear skies allowing us to see very far into the distance. The crew as friendly as well and made the trip entertaining. It would have been better if the basket had a door access rather than having us climb into the basket as my mom had some difficulties doing so with her ankle problem. Overall, a unforgettable experience that's a must do if you are in the area!!”

6.Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Flight over the Temecula Wine Country

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 256 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $179

Review of Temecula’s sunrise hot air balloon flight, with wine-country views, champagne, practical tips, pricing, timing, and booking advice.

“Our balloon flight was only about 40 minutes long. We had a gentleman scream obscenities at us for flying too low over his house and waking him up. Seems like a known problem yet they still fly over his house. They landed and then they couldn’t get the transport to us so they wanted people to crawl back in the basket and ride on the back of the truck through the dirt field. That can’t be safe. Idk, I would save your money, while fun, it was only about half the time promised. Everyone else’s balloon got to go much further and see more. Our was cut way to short.…”

“We enjoyed the balloon ride. Excellent guide, who was knowledgeable about the area, and had many years of experience flying balloons. Landed the balloon with unbelievable precision. My only complaint was that we filled out paperwork online regarding balloon safety and risksseveral weeks before the event, and then had to fill it all out again when we arrived for the balloon ride.”
