California Dreamin' Balloon Adventures, Temecula

About California Dreamin' Balloon Adventures

California Dreamin' Balloon Adventures operates sunrise hot air balloon rides over Temecula wine country. Visitors experience roughly an hour aloft in a hot air balloon basket, departing from a launch site accessible by round-trip transport. The company's pilot, David Bradley, has flown these routes since 1977 and also farms vineyards in the valley below. Each flight includes digital photos taken by crew members during the journey. After landing, passengers participate in a celebration toast featuring champagne, mimosas, orange juice, or sparkling cider. The attraction offers shared flights with other passengers as well as private rides for birthdays, anniversaries, and engagements, with special banners added to the basket for these occasions. Tethered balloon experiences are available for events like weddings and fundraisers, where guests can ride while the balloon remains secured to the ground. The company has completed over 350,000 flights across its 49 years of commercial balloon operations in Temecula, California.
