BEST LANDING EVER!!! - Booked a flight with Grape Escape Balloon Adventure while my niece was in town for a wedding. Making the reservation was very easy and their pre-flight instructions helpful. Meeting place was convenient and comfortable as was the ride over to the launch site which they provided. It did not take long for them to get the balloon inflated and the ground crew took pictures for us and were very friendly but professional. Our pilot "Bill" was very experienced, personable and had us at ease the whole time. The flight over the vineyards took about an hour and fifteen with spectacular views! The coolest part was when Bill landed the basket right on the trailer that transports it! Gently and smack dab in the center!!! I will definitely be booking with them again!

Magical time in the air! - This was a birthday bucket list item and was only sorry I hadn’t done it sooner. From lifting off to the smooth landing, a magnificent time with this wonderful team! It’s so picturesque and serene up above the noise. I highly recommend A Grape Escape Adventure. Our pilot, Bill and the crew made the experience really fun and enlightening. We enjoyed the toast and prayer at the end with the owner Rusty. These guys do such a great job!!

Unforgettable Memory - This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life. I took my girlfriend for her birthday to enjoy some views and face her fears. Our guide Bill gave us the best of the best experience/ tour while we were up in the sky. They made us feel welcome to ask for pictures/ had some wonderful talks and laughs. Best part of it all the landing was smooth :) I wish I could of added some pictures.

Worth the money- do it! - First time in a hot air balloon and we had a wonderful experience. Celebrated 10 year anniversary with my husband. Rusty was our pilot and he was really wonderful. I felt totally safe, and really loved his knowledge of the areas we flew over. He would point out which vineyard was which and knew about a lot of the landscape. We got up pretty high. Some balloons were higher than us but honestly I don’t know why you would want to be so high that you can’t see anything. I loved the height we got to on our trip. Rusty took us from high to low and high again so we got a full experience at different levels. We got really close to see the vineyards at one point which was amazing too. He was also able to steer the basket slightly and turn us so we all got views of the same thing too, I loved that he seemed to really care what we all had a good experience. Watching the sunrise from the sky was magical and we got really lucky with the perfect weather. Was surprisingly warm up high! I was concerned about spending so much money on one activity, I also looked at several companies before booking with Grape Escape but I am very pleased we went with them. Worth every penny! I felt totally safe and also had an amazing experience with details about the area from our guide. Icing on the cake was when he landed the basket on the back of the truck directly! Incredible skill. Very very happy. Tip: If you have AAA mention it for a discount. Also, it’s an added expense but we splurged on the drone photographer Wesly and so glad we did. He can get footage of you in the balloon from the sky which is much better than what we could capture within. Budget a little extra to add on the photographer. :)
