Highly recommend. I recently surprised my girlfriend with a balloon ride for her birthday, and the experience with Cielo was nothing short of stellar! Neither of us had ever gone up in a hot air balloon before, and my gal was a bit nervous going into it. Her jitteriness soon dissipated, in no small part to the easygoing and clearly competent staff, especially our pilot Erich. His expansive knowledge of local landmarks and their history added a lot to the voyage, and his many anecdotes from years of ballooning had us cracking up. We also learned that Erich has been a lifelong aviation pilot by profession, and I felt 110% in good hands the entire time. After the ride while the crew was hustling to secure and put away the balloon, etc, Erich provided pastries and mimosas and regaled us with balloon tales from history. Great end to the journey! I can't think of anything that could have made our experience more enjoyable: first class outfit all the way. Thanks again guys!

Thank you so much Lou for such a fantastic time! The day flew by but we had just the right amount of time spent in every area we visited. Your information and professionalism was on point. There is no way we would have seen half of what you took us to if we didn't book with you! The ride was comfortable, the water was cold and lunch was spot on! We highly recommend everyone take the private LA tour!

I cannot recommend this tour enough!! Quick clarification, my reservation labeled our tour as "Vineyard Picnic Tour" but it wasn't listed as an option here, the grapehopper sounds the closest to what we did. We visited 4 different wineries with at least 6 tastings at each stop AND a lunch was included. Shuttle picked us up from our hotel and dropped off on time, a huge convenience so we could enjoy the experience all day! We were so luck to have Mike as our tour guide!! He was an expert on the history of wine country, gave great recommendations on each winery we visited so we new exactly what to order and not miss out on the best origins, and to top it off - great sense of humor and had us karaoke on the drive back to his lively playlist. For the price and everything included, I could not have expected a better experience and will definitely be booking here again. Great for first-timers and now I'll consider myself a regular!! Thank you, Mike and Grapeline!

Date nights can be tough to plan sometimes. We have always loved visiting wine country, tasting its rich history, and enjoying the freedom of the backroads on a motorcycle. We figured why not give someone else the opportunity to experience all of the things we love in a new way! So, we decided to modify the standard motorcycle sidecar to accommodate two passengers and now we have the world’s first and only tandem sidecars, which is one of the things that makes us so special. Our goal is to give winery goers a unique, fun, and intimate way to get to know this beautiful wine region with our knowledgeable drivers. We don’t want to be just another mode of transportation between wineries. We want to immerse our guests in Temecula's culture, history, and how it became what it is today.

Inclusions: Two Wine Tastings, Private transportation, Private Chauffeur

Exclusions: Gratuities, Snacks
