My husband and I had our very first Hot Air Balloon ride with California Dreamin' yesterday and loved it. We had to get up super early (4:30am) to make it to Vindemia Estate Winery by 5:30am. I am soooooooo not a morning person but it was worth it. We signed some paperwork then we all got into a van to find the perfect spot for take off. The guys do A LOT of work to set up and break down after. Kudo's to them! Our pilot, David who is also the owner of the winery was a great pilot. The weather was perfectly clear but cold as heck! The landing was smoother than I thought. Awesome job! There was 10 of us in the basket plus our pilot which was kind of tight but it worked. From beginning to end everyone was great!! We even had a light breakfast (bread, fruit, cheese, crackers, mimosas, coffee, tea and wine) when we returned that was all included. Yay!
