Take a Hot Air Balloon Ride in Temecula

Temecula is a historically significant city in the Inland Empire, located about an hour from San Diego and 90 minutes from Los Angeles. It's popular for a variety of reasons, including the consistently sunny weather. However, Rancho California Road is the focal point of most weekend trips. Here, vine-draped farms provide daily tastings and farm-fresh produce to restaurants.

Temecula is a tourist's paradise, with lush greens on multiple golf courses and a blue sky ideal for hot air ballooning. Hot-air ballooning is one of the most fascinating and unique attractions in Temecula. Rancho California Road's postcard appeal comes from the hot air balloons that take off from the roadside. These public flights only take off at the break of dawn, before the valley's afternoon winds settle in. Personal tours to more affordable group rides are available.
