My wife and I had An incredible time. We met at 6:30 and shortly there after we’re up in the air. .Rusty our pilot has been doing this business for 30years and as a copilot or maybe the pilot for today was his son Kyle who’s also an airplane pilot. we felt very safe. I highly recommend Grape Escape. The folks at Domaine Chardonnay recommended Grape Escape.

The area where A Grape Escape is located in Temecula is lovely. It is great to spend a day or weekend up there. There is enough to do and you will come home relaxed.The balloon ride was wonderful. The people that worked with us were so kind and seemed to enjoy what they were doing. The balloon goes up pretty high and the views are amazing, there is a view of model homes which is ugly so just turn away when theat comes up, it is just for a minute. You will be able to see beautiful vistas and wine growing in the sun. It is all quite lovely.We had a wonderful time and you will too.

We had a wonderful experience on our first balloon ride. I am afraid of heights, but wanted to do this with my husband. I did but feel nervous or afraid at all- it was a beautiful and peaceful ride. Our pilot, Rusty was awesome and we would highly recommend this trip and would definitely do it again!

Our group enjoyed an amazing, safe, and educational journey with our pilot Pete. While experiencing the beauty of Temecula from above we learned about the local vineyards, cultivation of grapes, history of ballooning and operation of a hot air balloon, etc. Grape Escape is a very professionally run ballooning company and we highly recommend.

Pete was our pilot and he told great care of us. I was cool to watch the balloon get set up but it was a little nerve-wrecking to see the power lines on the edge of the field we launched from. Pete got us up and over, no problem. We really enjoyed the ride, being close to the ground for part of it and up, up, and away to see the more aerial views. Pete answered our questions about both ballooning and grapes/wine. Capped off with mimosas, it was a very fun morning, other than having to wake up so early.
