A Grape Escape Balloon Adventure

Everything was excellent! Starting with their phone etiquette and ending with Bill our hot air balloon pilot! Booking an appointment over the phone was so easy! The receptionist gave us clear instructions and all of the necessary information.

Going inside the hot air balloon basket was cool! You have to climb into the basket so make sure you wear comfortable clothes and wear tennis shoes!

When the hot air balloon rises up into the sky: it feels so smooth! You don’t even feel it! So to all the people who are scared of heights; you’ll be perfectly fine! Life is too short! Enjoy it!

It was an amazing experience that I’ll never forget!

Thank you Bill! You are an awesome hot air balloon pilot!

P. S If you’re celebrating something special, they have available banners! So make sure to let them know! If you’re celebrating a birthday or an anniversary.

Lovely staff with friendly experienced pilots.views are amazing and you end with some delicious exclusive champagne curated by pilot Rusty himself!

Absolutely the best 1st experience hot air ballooning! Only downside was group of others in the party were 45 minutes late but not the company’s fault. Rusty was very knowledgeable and made for a pleasant and amazing experience! Stunning views and great company. Glad I chose this company and would definitely use them again as well as recommend them to everyone! Made for a great late birthday present for that special someone.

My fiancé and I had the most wonderful experience with A Grape Escape. We already had high expectations of what to expect but the knowledge and friendliness of the staff helped to far exceed our expectations. 10/10 would recommend.

“Perfection” Pete provided an exceptional experience! PHENOMENAL experience hot ballooning over the sunrise! Champagne given at the end with a flight certificate. This is the place to book!

Celebrated our anniversary with a hot air balloon adventure over Temecula. It was an amazing and memorable experience that I'd definitely do again. The communication from the company via text and email was good and the flight was smooth.

What a fantastic experience! Booking was easy. Communication before the flight was excellent. Our flight pilot Bill and his entire crew were outstanding. We loved the entire ride and it felt like we were floating through the air. From check in to landing to our post flight celebration, everything was safe, fun, exciting, and just top notch overall. Thank you for a great hot air balloon ride!

These people fly anywhere they want. They don’t care how stressed they make livestock or horses. Who cares if our animals go into shock as long as middle class winos get their photo op!
*To respond to owners. It was your vans unloading tourists on San Ignacio. Right near me and my neighbor's farms. You don't care what damage or panic you inflict on the animals. Go away and torture some other neighborhood!

Our flight crew was chipper and serviceable, and we had a superb balloon ride! The company’s communications and instructions were informative and practical, and there was no hassles.

Pilot Rusty made the group experience a delight! I highly recommend this tour operator. From what I heard among fellow passengers, the company also seems the most fair-priced and straightforward.

Keep UP the great work!

Beautiful morning balloon ride. Rusty and crew were fantastic. Professional and very well run event. Stunning winery views. Highly recommended

Recently went on a hot air ballon ride with Grape Escape and it was an AMAZING experience! The pilot and crew were awesome and made you feel comfortable and safe the whole time. We were in the air for about 1 hour and afterwards had a toast (champagne) to finish the experience. Would recommend 100%. We will definitely be coming back!

I paid for a private balloon and proposed to my girlfriend on the flight!

It was truly an amazing experience, and everybody there including the pilot, the crew, and the office manager I spoke to on the phone to set this up were all incredibly kind, helpful, and communicative.

I'd never ridden a balloon before, but everything felt like a well-oiled machine and the balloon felt safe and steady, and the crew knew what they were doing!

HIghly highly recommend!

This was an amazing experience! Great company! Very professional! Never felt like I was not in good hands! Wonderful people!
