Daily Scenic Flights aloft Temecula Wine Country Since 1975
In 1975, commercial helicopter pilot Dan Glick discovered the unmatched beauty and calm morning air of Temecula Valley, recognizing it as the perfect place for sunrise hot air ballooning. His pioneering spirit launched Sunrise Balloons, the first commercial balloon company in Temecula and one of the first in California.
Nearly fifty years later, Dan’s passion continues through a new generation of family leadership, devoted to preserving his vision of adventure and hospitality. We carry forward his love for flight and dedication to creating extraordinary experiences for every guest.
