The Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival returns to Lake Skinner Recreation area, in the heart of Temecula Valley Wine Country on May 20-22, 2016.  The event includes dawn hot air balloon launches, evening balloon glows, wine tasting, food and wine pairing, chef demonstrations and cuisine tastings, and national performers in concert.

Located just north of San Diego County, California, the Festival has a successful  33-year history of celebrating Southern California Wine Country’s finest assets of clear skies dotted by hot air balloons, mild temperatures, and rolling vineyards. Balloon activities are weather permitting.

While the theme of hot air balloons and wine has always served to anchor the event, each year new attractions have been introduced. The Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival has become a celebration of life with flavor and appeal for everyone and has become the premier event in the beautiful Temecula Valley.
