Hot air balloon perfection!
Our first time doing a hot air balloon ride. It was absolutely amazing. So glad we chose our own basket with two of us and our pilot Rusty. So so peaceful. We would highly recommend A GRAPE ESCAPE. The Champagne was a nice final touch.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind review. We’re so glad your experience felt special and memorable, and that our team was able to create an atmosphere that was both relaxing and enjoyable. It means a lot to us that you trusted A Grape Escape for such a unique adventure, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back again for another beautiful day in the sky!

A must do experience!
My wife and I had a wonderful time. We flew on the private balloon for 2 for her birthday and the pilot was extremely informative, kind, and helpful! I was say my only critique would be how loud it can get when the flame is thrown into balloon, so if your sensitive to loud sounds bring some earplugs. Overall I would highly recommend this bucket list experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words and for choosing A Grape Escape Hot Air Balloon Adventure to be a part of your wife's special birthday celebration! It was an honor to help create a memorable experience for both of you. We love helping our customers celebrate their milestones, and we’re delighted that everything went smoothly. If there’s anything else we can assist you with, please feel free to reach out.

The Stunt Man
WOW! WOW! WOW! We had such an amazing experience. My boyfriend took me on a surprise hot air balloon ride and proposed. I was shocked! One of the best parts about this was the crew that helped us. We had Rusty and Aaron help us on our flight. I can't tell you enough how wonderful they made the whole thing for us. They were so polite, hilarious, and kind! They made things so comfortable for us! I had even mentioned the movie The Ugly Truth because of the clip with the hot air balloons and you would not believe it. Ironically enough Rusty was actually in a clip in that movie! We were even in the same basket that they were in the movie! I thought that was very nice/romantic and both me and my now fiancé appreciated all the hard work these men put into making this such a memorable experience for the two of us! Loved every minute of it. Thank you! Would do it again. **I will be attaching the best pic of me, my fiancé, and Rusty unfortunately we didn't get one with Aaron but he was also amazing** Really appreciated every moment of it.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Luxury Private Flight for Two: Temecula Hot Air Balloon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Temecula.
How much does Luxury Private Flight for Two: Temecula Hot Air Balloon cost?
+
Prices start at $1199 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Temecula usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Luxury Private Flight for Two: Temecula Hot Air Balloon take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Temecula is not rushed.
Is Luxury Private Flight for Two: Temecula Hot Air Balloon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Temecula, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Luxury Private Flight for Two: Temecula Hot Air Balloon?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Luxury Private Flight for Two: Temecula Hot Air Balloon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxury Private Flight for Two: Temecula Hot Air Balloon?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Temecula can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Temecula and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxury Private Flight for Two: Temecula Hot Air Balloon start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Temecula within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Temecula?
+
Temecula sells winery-hopping tours with tastings and lunch, hot air balloon flights over the vineyards at sunrise, and Old Town history and food walks. On Outty we rank every Temecula experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All Inclusive Temecula Wine Tour - Tastings, Lunch, Hotel Pickup, Authentic Cable Car Wine Tour, Temecula's Premier Wine Tasting Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Temecula?
+
March to May and September to November; balloons fly best in calm morning air. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Temecula?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
