We wanted a beautiful adventure, and got one with our balloon ride with California Dreamin. It was one of the best things we have ever done as a couple, the ride and the breakfast afterwards.

For safety reasons, the balloon ride had to be postponed due to too much wind. I respect the decision and the owners offered to refund the money or postpone the trip.

We had friends coming from out of state, and they wanted to take a balloon ride. We had used another company in the past so we booked through them originally. Disappointingly, that company cancelled the ride four days in advance, supposedly due to weather. We did not want our guests to be disappointed, so we called California Dreamin'. We are... More

It was our first hot air balloon ride, and we really enjoyed it. Our pilot was pleasant and kept us informed as to what was going on. Had to drive a bit to find a good launch site, but it was worth the ride.

It was heavenly soaring over vineyards & orange groves. The crew & pilot were great and the landing was very smooth & gentle. I recommend everyone to ride this hot air balloon. Put it on your bucket list

Would highly recommend this company. Safety is their top priority. They picked us up in a van from our villa at South Coast. Watched the weather for 1.5 hours. Finally took off .. OUr pilot was great. Took us over grapefruit orchards, homes, had champagne and breakfast upon landing...great experience!

Great experience taking our first hot air balloon ride, got a pkg deal through South Coast Winery called Up Up and Away great accomodations at South Coast but the balloon ride was awesome. The California Dreamin crew was great and would recommend them 100%. Very professional and made our experience one we will never forget.

If you have never done it, this is a lovely place to take your first trip. Over the tops of the vineyards and beautiful rolling hills of Temecula and the surrounding area which so mimics the Italian countryside. Very accommodating and competent crew.
