Temecula, CA Temecula Valley Wine Country
Our Hot Air Balloon ride excursions begin with our picking your party up at the Parking lot of the Ponte Vineyards located east of the I-15 Freeway at 3503 Rancho California Road, Temecula, CA 92591. You may park your car in their lot and meet us at the time shown on your confirmation. It is very important to be on time, as we and the other passengers that may be coming along do not want to miss the early morning sun as it rises to the East over the beautiful vineyards of the Temecula Valley.
The actual launch sites that we use are located about a mile or so to the east, right in the heart of the valley. There are many acres of grapes below us as we float as high as 3000 feet to capture the magnificent views of the surrounding mountains (including of course Mt Palomar and Mt. San Jacinto). You will also see several of the nice lakes nearby. We have often seen Coyotes, Deer and even Bald Eagles, and of course lots of Bunnies.
Although we give a nice Champagne and Cider/Orange Juice celebration complete with bakery goods, fruit and a neat photo and certificate you will have an excellent choice of vineyards and restaurants to have a late breakfast or an early lunch. You will be back to your car at the meeting spot about three hours after your departure.
