5.00This is hands-down the best way to see and appreciate Temecula Wine Country. The entire operation runs like a well-oiled machine, making the whole experience smooth, safe, and unforgettable. Our pilot, Dave (the owner), was fantastic. With more than 40 years of experience, he’s a true expert—skilled at reading the wind and navigating with ease. On top of that, he’s a wealth of knowledge, sharing fascinating stories about Temecula’s colorful history along with great local recommendations. A big thank you as well to the ground crew—Joey and team—for their professionalism, care, and hospitality before and after the flight. If you’re visiting Temecula, don’t miss this experience. It’s a must-do and one of the highlights of the region!
Fantastic Experience!

5.00Honestly, I was very nervous. I'm a bit fearful of heights... but have really been wanting to do this for some time now. I just needed to work up the nerve to go for it... and let me tell you - It was so very worth it! It was a gorgeous trip up into the sky over looking the beautiful wineries. The ride was steady and smooth; had an excellent pilot with many years of experience. Very grateful to have enjoyed this phenomenal experience with a new friend! Definitely would do it again!

A Solo Birthday Celebration

5.00I booked a solo birthday trip to Temecula, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better way to start my special day. First tip: leave early! The road to the meeting location is very dark before sunrise, and it’s easy to miss the turn-in point. I actually passed it several times but thankfully found it just in time. So give yourself some extra wiggle room in case you get a little turned around. Once I arrived, everything was smooth sailing. Our pilot, Dylan, was experienced, kind, and welcoming. He had two colleagues assisting him (I believe they were in training), and all three of them were professional, knowledgeable. They made the group feel safe, relaxed, and ready to enjoy the ride. As someone who went solo, I was a little nervous, but my group was wonderful and made the experience even more memorable. Watching the sunrise from up in the air was pure magic, peaceful, beautiful, and surreal. And the best part? A lovely champagne toast (or three!) after we landed. Such a perfect touch to celebrate life and mark the start of a new year for me. There are quite a few balloon companies in the area, but I’m so glad I chose Skyward at Sunrise. From start to finish, the experience was heartfelt, safe, and unforgettable. Thank you again for making my birthday special! 🎉💕.
