This was our first hot air balloon ride while visiting friends who live in Temecula. After looking at several websites and a few calls we selected California Dreamin, so glad we did. Arrived at Vindemia Winery early for the set-up. We actually went to 3 locations and they tested the rise with a helium balloon. After they were satisfied the balloons were assembled and we were ready for take off. Dave was our pilot and had us dip low over the vineyards where he pointed out various animals etc and then up we went. Although some balloons went up just really high, in the end I appreciated the skill necessary for the more in depth tour. We floated really high for a overall view as well, and Dave was very aware of local airplane traffic to keep us safe. Landing was soft and easy. They took us back to the Vineyard for a wonderful breakfast with fruit, local breads, cheeses, mimosas, and a bottle of their wine to take home. I really liked their friendly attitude and service. Would not hesitate to recommend them. Enjoy:)
