Wow..what can i say. This was an amazing experience for me. Never been on an airplane, so at first it was nerve racking but once your up in the air its peaceful. Celebrating our 7 year wedding anniversary and my birthday. Would definitely do it again.so worth the travel. after the ride we headed back to the winery for a small snack and drinks. The staff was super friendly and kind great hospitality. I recommend this to everyone. read more

I visited California dreamin in 8/5. The experience was once in a lifetime. I appreciate the informative speech before the flight, a small history lesson on hot air balloons by Josh. I would recommend this company if your looking to take on an adventure as such. read more

This place was amazing. I came to take a trip with my fiancé and it was our first time on a hot air balloon and the whole staff made us feel extremely comfortable; from the beginning to the end of the trip. The pilot was a really calm guy and would give background information to any question anyone in the trip had. I would 100% recommend anyone to book a flight with them. read more

Came here for my boyfriend and I's anniversary and left with one of the best experiences we've ever had! California Dreamin' by far exceeded all expectations! Our pilot, Dylan, was super nice and informative, he would point out different landmarks and wineries he recommends us to check out while in the area. The view from the balloon was breathtaking and the ride itself was soothing and the perfect way to start your day. The little breakfast included afterwards, was light and fresh with a perfect view of the vineyard. For those celebrating birthdays, they brought out birthday cake and we all sang happy birthday! For our anniversary, they gave us a complementary bottle of the wine they passed out for everyone to taste! Very homey and friendly atmosphere and overall, one of the best experiences we've ever had! Definitely recommend this company over the competitors! read more

Wonderful Experience! Dylan and his family was nice and caring, it was my husband's Bday and we chose the right company to fly with! There are several companies offering the hot air balloon flight in Temecula, but in my humble opinion California Dreaming is the best. Thank you, guys! You're doing great job! read more

I'm going to give our balloon riding experience with California Dreamin, 5 Stars. For my first time in a hot air balloon, it was not what I was expecting. I heard it would be rough, hot, and loud. It might have been all of those things but the views and knowledgeable conversation with our pilot, truly overruled all critiques.. David, our pilot, and his staff, was courteous, thorough, and safe! I highly recommend California Dreamin as they provided a kick but time, including an excellent continental breakfast, accompanied with a few delicious wines to sample. The Cab Franc is a must have BTW. We will be back. read more

The Best Valentines Gift :D Last weekend I had an amazing time hot air ballooning with California Dreamin! It was a Valentine's gift from my boyfriend so I do not know how the pricing is but I have heard that this company does have some online deals sometimes (ie Groupon and/or other companies). It was slightly belated Valentines celebration because the weather decided to rain for the past three weeks, but it was worth the wait. We drove from West LA to Temecula so in order to make our 6:15am check in time we had to leave aroound 4am. *warning* do not follow your GPS unless you want an off roading adventure. They let you know that in their confirmation e-mail but of course we missed that memo. Not too worry if you get lost like us, just call them and they'll lead you back to the right path. They will even come out to the road with flash lights to flag you down in case you drive by the entrance a couple times like we did :) The staff was super nice and understanding. In addition to coming out with flash lights, they also let my boyfriend mail in the coupon that he forgot to the location so he could get the special deal. Our hot air balloon carried 3 other couples and one pilot. We were in the air for about an hour and if any of your have ever been on the ride Soarin' over California at Disneyland, it is a lot like that but so much better! Our pilot pointed gave a mini history of hot air ballooning and pointed out many of the vineyards that we were flying over with many suggestions and tips for wine taste after our flight. After we landed the crew took us back to where we checked in and waiting for us was a delicious breakfast with mimosas, coffee, and juice. For those couples celebrating anniversaries they were given a bottle of wine and for birthdays they were sung happy birthday and everyone was given a slice of chocolate bundt cake. After breakfast we were also given a complimentary wine tasting at the location as well as a few two for one coupons for other vineyards. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a cute and fun date. Just be ready to wake up really early if you are driving in from LA. read more

Set up a last minute balloon ride and could not have been happier. Met up early in the morning when it's pretty chilly but it's quickly worth it as they raise the balloon and you get in the air. Fantastic views and such fresh air! Our pilot was awesome. We flew right down Rancho California and landed for a glass of champagne. Truly a memorable morning. Thank you! read more

You know what's scarier than skydiving? Riding in a hot air balloon!! (Or so says three of the people in the group when we went hot air ballooning). Yes, it is scary, and if you are afraid of heights, this is a good way to confront those fears. California Dreamin' is based in Temecula, but they offer sunset air balloon rides over Del Mar. I prepaid for the flight at their website and on the day of the flight met at the designated spot (Vons parking lot). We waited for everyone to arrive, and then we loaded up in minivans and drove to the launch site. The launch site was a huge, little used parking lot right next to a busy street. There were 2 other companies that were also there, preparing their balloons. California Dreamin' doesn't launch if the wind conditions aren't right, and it was a bit breezy, so we waited at least 45 minutes for the wind to calm down. As soon as the wind died down, they started preparing the balloons. While you're waiting, they serve champagne (sweet!). If you've never been in a balloon before, it is pretty scary when they launch. At the appropriate signal from the pilot, we (there were 8 of us) ran over to the basket, jumped in, and held on as the pilot blasted more hot air into the balloon. Then, you don't know when you're going to take off, so the basket scrapes along the cement until you launch. And then off you go! The going up part is pretty quick but a very smooth ride. It doesn't feel like you're moving at all, except when someone in the basket moves a bit or adjusts their stance (you must stand the entire ride). When you're up in the air several thousand feet, it is so quiet and serene. Just don't lean out too far over the basket! You never know where you're going to land, but there are some landing sites the crew have previously designated as landing sites. Which one you land at depends on the wind. We happened to land in an empty field near the freeway. One lady in our group used to work for RE/MAX and would go up in their balloons all the time. She said one time they landed in someone's backyard in some blackberry bushes. That would suck. After landing, the pilot served chocolate cake and another round of champagne! A hot air balloon ride is a lot of fun and a great way to see California from a different perspective. Still doesn't make me less scared of going skydiving, but you never know! read more

One of the best experiences ever!! My parents took me here for my birthday, so our balloon had a special Happy Birthday banner :) We met up at South Coast Winery where they provided pre-flight coffee and snacks, and they drove us about 10 minutes away. I've heard that some hot air balloon companies expect their guest to participate in rolling out the balloon (which I was honestly dreading), but this company didn't. Our "pilot" was extremely friendly and we had an amazing view of the Temecula wine country. Afterwards, they served a delicious champagne brunch with fruits, brie, crackers, etc. They even had a birthday cake for anybody that was celebrating a birthday! To top the day off they gave us free wine-tasting tickets for South Coast Winery :) Even if you're scared of heights, the balloon ascends so slowly that you'll be totally fine. My uncle came with us and he held on to a sidebar for dear life for about the first 5 minutes but ended up loving it! (I'd post pictures, but he'd kill me.) So if he can handle it, YOU CAN TOO :D My main suggestion would be to fly when it's not too hot/summer time. My parents did another hot air balloon ride during Valentines, and because the weather was cooler they got to go a couple 1000 ft. higher than we did :( Nonetheless, loved it! read more

If you want to take flights on a hot air balloon to catch a morning glimpse of the Temecula valley wine country area, this is the thing to do. The experience was spectacular, and the ride is amazingly gentle and safe. Not only that, but they offer everyone a glass (or multiple glasses) of wine prior and during the entire ride....and i won't give away the story behind that for them. they have group baskets and private flights (2 people), and the price varies. its about a 45 min ride, complete with breakfast after the ride. we took the private flight for a special occasion, and Jeff our pilot was a competition flyer and not only did he navigate smoothly, but was very respectful of our space and private moments. he even lowered us right about the vineyards & citrus groves and that was fun. I had a very special request for my particular balloon flight, so my experience and memory here won't be the typical. Nonetheless, Gail and David there were very accommodating and professional. See the pictures i uploaded for a glimpse of the experience! read more

My girlfriend took me on a hot air balloon ride as our 1 year anniversary gift, and it was an incredible experience. The hot air ballon pilots and the other crew members were all clearly very experienced and knew exactly what they were doing. They tested the wind conditions at one site for about 20 minutes then told us that we had to go somewhere else because it wasn't the right spot, and sure enough once we were up in the air at another location we saw that the balloons from another company that tried to take off from the location we'd moved away from were unable to fly their balloons. We ended up taking off right next to a large grove of grapefruit trees, it felt like Soarin' Over California at California Adventure except everything was real. You get a beautiful view of the snow-capped mountains out near Palm Springs in the distance while you're up in the air. The entire flight was very smooth, you don't even feel like you're moving at all while you're in the air. Our pilot's name was Farrell, he was a nice guy and certainly knew what he was doing. He told us that he had flown hot air balloons in Africa prior to joining this company in Temecula. The landing wasn't bad at all, I thought it would be a bit bumpy but it was just sort of a small jerk when we hit the ground and nothing more. The breakfast really added a nice touch to the experience, it was held on the beautiful grounds of the South Coast Winery. The tables were all nicely shaded, and it was just a perfect way to spend the morning. They served mimosas, fruit, cheese & crackers, and some really yummy raisin bread. They also give out either champagne or cider to people who are celebrating anniversaries, and had a birthday cake for a group that was celebrating someone's birthday. Overall I feel like this company does an excellent job at orchestrating the whole experience. I highly recommend them! read more

California Dreamin - Hot Air Balloons Near Me - Temecula, California

When in...Temecula. Decided to cross a hot air ballon ride off our bucket list even though I'm a little bit afraid of heights. But I had such a great experience! We booked a sunrise tour so we had to be there by 6:15am to check in. When we got there, we were escorted up the stairs to where we were supposed to check in, which was very quick. Once the rest of the people arrived, we were all ushered into different vans and drove around for a bit because they were checking out the conditions. Once we finally got to the spot, the crew inflated the balloon then in we went and up we flew. It was a beautiful day and it was nothing but smooth sailing. Such a beautiful view of Temecula Wine Country. I was a little nervous before we went up, but our ride went off without a hitch. Our pilot, David was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would say we were up in the air for about an hour and once we landed, his crew was there ready to pack up the balloon and bring us back. They give you mimosas after the ride to toast and then provide light breakfast once you get back. Nothing too big, some crackers, cheese, fruit, hot chocolate, coffee, and..more mimosas :) They even provided a cake and sang happy birthday to the birthday celebrants. I enjoyed this so much. The process and preparation is very organized. Crew is very efficient and friendly. They explain everything that is being done, which for sure put me at ease knowing that they knew what they were doing...somewhat important. If you're going for a hot air balloon ride in Temecula, look no further. This is the company to do it with. read more

Amazing experience. The view was beautiful and the pilot was very nice and informing. Great birthday gift for my partner. She loved it! Before boarding the staff offered to take photos - very much appreciated. Everyone was super friendly - except for one older man (a worker) who gave my partner and I nasty looks while entering the basket. Rude. Besides that, everything else was spectacular. The breakfast provided was delicious! The chocolate birthday cake was yummy. PS. Prices go up the week of Christmas. Makes sense. read more

My husband booked a balloon flight for my bday and it was amazing! We were thrilled with our experience. We went on the sunrise flight and it was beautiful! The staff was very professional and offered to take our pics while the balloon was inflating, after we got in the basket and after we landed. They put a bday sign up on the basket and everything. My husband and I were a little worried about the landing but it was very smooth. I definitely want to give credit to the guys who set up and put away the equipment. They are up early in the morning hustling and are quick. After our we flight we went back to Vindemia Windery and a light breakfast was waiting for us. There was fresh fruit, bread, cheese and crackers, coffee, hot chocolate and mimosas. They also had a cake for whomever was celebrating a bday. We also got a complimentary bottle of wine. This was such a great bday gift and the staff made it so much more memorable! Thank you! read more

AMAZING 1st time experience...08.10.13 was a very memorable One Year Wedding Anniversary!!! I booked this place for my husband & I based upon fellow Yelper reviews. I came really close to getting one of those Groupon things but I'm glad that I didn't. The difference between them and California Dreamin is that they don't get your money ahead of time, they really wait to see the day before if the weather condition is cooperating in order to have a safe balloon flight. Reservations is easy, just go online and send the requested information. Gail (or one of the representatives) will contact you and get additional info. Once you book your desired flight date and get that conformation email, make sure to call the day BEFORE to confirm. We live in orange county, so my husband and I left around 3:30 a.m. in order to make our 5:15 a.m. appointment. We met at South Coast Winery to check-in, got some coffee and also used the bathroom before our flight. There was about 6 couples with us (12 people total) and we loaded up the van. We didn't drive that far and the guys were quick to set up the balloon. It was awesome that while waiting, we took pictures of the other balloons around us. There was also a guy from the company who was volunteering to take pictures of each couple while we wait. Within 20 mins we were set to go and YES...ALL 12 people fit in that basket! Lol Seeing the sunrise was SPECTACULAR!!! By the way, I am TERRIFIED of heights....and honestly it was really nice to conquer my fear. It was a smooth transition when we went up in the air. The weather was perfect, not to hot or too windy. DAVE our pilot/flight tour guide expertise was very calm and mellow...he gave us some interesting facts while up in the sky. It was exciting also as one couple got engaged! Totally made the balloon ride fun. 1 hour later we were done. Our landing was also nice not too turbulent or bumpy. We walked over pass the vineyards back to South Coast Winery. We were greeted with a light breakfast (fresh fruits & cheese/crackers)...and of course best part was the mimosas! We also got our complimentary bottle of wine and celebrated with cake with those having a birthday. THANKS California Dreamin...YOU GUYS ROCK! The staff is very nice and accommodating. Make sure to give gratuity because they really do work hard and we wished we had given more than we did. Overall, I would definitely recommend them to friends and family. read more

Great experience. Our pilot was amazing, he was very informative and kind. Pilot was the owners son. The flight was extremely smooth.

My husband and I recently chose California Dreamin' for our anniversary. I am glad we chose this company. Upon making a reservation I received a very informative email with full details of everything we had to know. On the morning of our balloon ride we arrived and the staff was very friendly! We loaded into the van and drove around testing locations for wind etc. Once in the air we had beautiful views. The captain Dave and his son Dillon were very nice and informative. The ground crew also does an amazing job in assisting with whatever is needed. After arriving back we enjoyed fresh fruit, mimosas, and crackers with cheese. Gale also surprised us with a bottle of wine to take home for our anniversary! So nice! Overall it was an amazing experience and I would recommend this company to anyone. read more

California Dreamin - Balloon - Hot Air Balloons Near Me - Temecula, California

These are my reasons for an average rating (based on my personal experience/ expectations): I paid for a private ride, as it was for a birthday, and read other reviews about how they overcrowded baskets. (They do but it might be normal or due to weight, I don't know) My total was $1,500 (not including tip) for 5 people and was in the air for about 45-50 minutes. We arrived exactly at 5 am but weren't up in the air until about 6:10 am. Regardless if your party is 2 or 5 I believe it still costs $1,500. My family and I had a great time, the ride was enjoyable, and our pilot was nice. But it was nothing extraordinary. This was our first time on a hot air balloon so I don't have anything to compare but for the price, I wouldn't say it was worth it. They sell you on the experience of watching the balloon be inflated and deflated but you get the same when you share a ride. I know this because there were 5 other parties (12 people, 1 basket) and we all took off at the same place. They said they would have a banner for us since it was for a birthday, and while they did it was small and nothing was custom or special about it. The other party had one as well. They did give us champagne after the flight, and a complimentary wine after (I'm not sure if the wine is solely pertained to private rides or not because it wasn't included on the website) The reason I don't think the private ride is worth it, is because our experience was nothing extraordinary. I was expecting a more luxurious experience for the price. This isn't to say our ride was bad, because it wasn't and the view was great, and I understand to a point you're really paying for the view. However, I did notice other balloons (different companies) in the air were there much longer than us. We got in the air after them but came down before them. If you're a couple I really wouldn't recommend a private ride, it would essentially be $750 per person, and we paid $300 per person. I'm not sure how it is for larger groups but regardless it's $1,500 for a private ride. I know this because in my confirmation email it said "party of 2 $1,500" and had to remind them it was for 5 and the receptionist told me "yes that was a mistake but I have you written down for 5 in my notebook" Again, this is just from my experience/ expectations based off price and personal preference. I'm not sure how much it is for a shared ride but maybe if you're thinking of going here you should try that first and not for a special occasion. * edit: I just saw a review from someone that had a shared ride and they also got mimosas and champagne. So really there is nothing special about the private ride except for the fact that you don't share a basket. read more

What a great experience! The pilot is so experienced and knowledgeable about so many different subjects, not just ballooning! The breakfast and mimosas Miss Gail serves definitely hits the spot!

I bought tickets on the website for 2 people for my boyfriend's birthday. I reserved it for April 7 originally but I saw that it was going to rain a week before so I called to cancel and reschedule to April 14. It was a smooth process overall! The check in time was 5:45am. That morning I was running late and was driving in from Huntington Beach around 4:20am... but we were just in luck and made it on 5:40am. Someone called and left a voicemail once I drove up so good timing I guess! We checked in and they gave us blankets to use because it was 40 degrees! Right after, they split us into groups and got inside a van to the launch site. The pilot and crew were checking the winds to make sure it was good to go. Then, we went to the launch site where the crew set up everything and after a while, everyone went outside and took pictures while they're setting it up. My group had a total of 6 people not including the pilot. The 2 other couples went in first..leaving me and my boyfriend at the end. I thought we got left with a bad arrangement but it worked best in our favor. We had a 180 view and took cool pictures. Weather was perfect and I couldn't picture a perfect day! After the flight, we were treated to fruits, sweet bread, mimosas, and wine! We even got a small slice of cake for my boyfriend's birthday! The whole experience lasted til 8:30am and you're free to do whatever you'd like after! read more

My boyfriend and I did this for our anniversary and it was awesome! I've always wanted to go hot air ballooning since I was a kid and this was an awesome experience. We got there (south coast winery) and they had hot chocolates and coffee ready and advised us to go to the bathroom before we go on the ride and I must say the bathrooms were amazing. We went to our launch site and had a happy anniversary banner, we were with two other couples who were celebrating their anniversary. We went high and then low and then high. It was just beautiful I didn't want it to end it lasted about an hour and a half. We went back to south coast wine for the breakfast it was also excellent it was basically dessert for breakfast along with mimosas. They also give you a complimentary wine tasting and a free bottle of wine if you're over 21 which we were not :( Overall I would do this again but stay over night at South Coast Winery it was so beautiful. read more
