Amazingly Wonderful and SO Worth it! - Let me first preface that my friend and I are both terrified of heights. This was something that we purposefully chose to do that was outside of our comfort zone. Upon arrival and check-in we were met by Bill. Bill helped us with the forms, finalizing payment, and getting us checked in. He asked if we were excited, we told him we were but were both afraid of heights. Bill assured us that its such a smooth ride and not bumpy like an airplane, that once we were in the air, we would settle in and enjoy it. He told us that we were with him (as there were 3 balloons taking off that morning at the same time) Once everyone was checked in, we took the short ride to the location to get set up, load up, and lift off. It was amazing. It was smooth, quiet, beautiful, and well worth us taking our fear head-on. Let me tell you, if you get the chance to select your balloon pilot, Bill is your guy. He's absolutely hilarious, polite, friendly, is full of dad quality jokes, and happy to take photos of you with your phone while in-flight. I would fly again just to be entertained by Bill. He's easily a 10 out of 10 in our book.

Wonderful time! - I had a great time on the sunrise hot air balloon ride! It was a peaceful trip, and I enjoyed the views of Temecula from the sky. Bill and the crew did a wonderful job! I highly recommend this company.

Fun weekend escape! - Great experience! The burner inside the cart was a little loud so recommend maybe bringing some cheap hearing protection, but not too bad. It was so peaceful while up in the air and seeing all the wineries. Pete was great and was very knowledgeable of the area and the fundamentals of hot air ballooning, answering all the questions the passengers had. Cold in the morning yes, 40 degrees in April but not unbearable, bring a beanie. Easy check in pocess!

Great up and away! - So much fun! A smooth ride above the beautiful valley of Temecula with Rusty. We felt safe and got information about what we saw from above. Impressive to see the professional execution of lifting a ballon in the air but more impressive is how he landed it on a platform with unreal precision. Highly recommended.

Perfect Experience - I'd strongly recommend A Grape Escape to anyone thinking about ballooning. They were efficient, professional, and effective. We had Bill as our guide and he was not just entertaining, funny, and informative, but walked us through every step of the way and let us know what to expect. The whole team was very coordinated and we felt in good hands the whole time. My date was actually afraid of heights and even she said that she felt safe the whole time. Can't think of anything I'd have wanted differently.

Guaranteed a Great and SAFE Experience’ - This business is top notch. Everyone was friendly, communication was great, and it was clear safety was a priority. We were originally planned for a flight in January. We took the shuttle out to a few locations and the crew determined that while winds didn’t appear strong a front was moving in and flight and landing would likely not be safe. They were right. As the morning progressed the winds intensified and we were glad we were not coming in on a hard descent. We were given a discount to rebook and communication was great. For my partner, witnessing their commitment to safety first hand eliminated any concerns when we can back in February. Our flight this past weekend was great! The flight was so smooth and landing was gentle. I’d recommend for everyone.
