Thoroughly enjoyed our scenic and informative balloon ride over winery country near South Coast winery. Learned a lot from pilot Eric about the history of the wine country, balloon flying, and weather impacts. Enjoyed the social contacts with other first time balloon flyers. The blue balloon was beautiful, as was the countryside and the weather. A great romantic opportunity, and Eric and Kate and the staff were excellent, personable and friendly hosts. They enjoyed what they were doing and made it a pleasant and relaxed experience for us all.
