A fantastic experience. Weather was great and our pilot was fantastic. He even accomodated my physical disabilities in getting into the gondola. I would highly recommend this for any reader, even those with kids that are tall enough to see over the railing of the gondola. Temecula is at an elevation of about 1,600 feet so when the altimeter read... More

My husband and I planned a trip to San Diego and wanted to do something we've never done before. We both always wanted to go up in a Hot Air Balloon so when I came across A Grape Escape Balloon Adventure in the San Diego Vacation Guide, I knew that we needed to do this. Since our trip was planned... More

The Great Escape Balloon Adventure company was terrific! This was our first hot air balloon ride. It's funny how you don't want wind when your up in the air balloon. The pilot prefers calm air and uses gas with powerful Btu's to make their own wind. We had a windy day that day in April and had to start our... More

I am afraid of height so what am I doing in a hot air balloon ride? I can tell you that I was quiet the whole time I was up there. Now looking back, I considered that it was so much fun! I thought that the ride will be jerky or going up and down fast that makes your stomach... More

Flew with Grape Escapes on a recent Saturday morning. The staff were all very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Matt was our pilot and he did a great job of pointing ut the landmarks, and explaining how the balloon operate. Highly recommend this company if you are considering a balloon ride in Temecula. More

Loved the scenery and staff of A Grape Escape. The flight lasted an hour with a champagne reception at Wilson Creek Winery afterward. Highly recommend these guys for a spectacular view of Temecula wine country. More

I was a bit uncertain about this trip, since I am not comfortable with heights. I do not climb ladders beyond 6 feet but committed not to bailout since this trip was an anniversary gift. Our "Pilot" Bill sensed a bit a fear as we left the ground and was a calming talker. He made the entire experience happen so... More
