Such an amazing experience from start to finish! Highly recommend booking with this company. Our pilot Bill was great! Loved his "Dad" jokes. 10 outta 10!

Took our Australian relatives into the air with A Graoe Escape. The entire experience was incredible. We were afforded the opportunity to see our balloon both inflated and deflated. We were returned to our original meeting place at Europa Winery, where we were seated in a beautiful lounge, an opportunity to ask questions, presented with a certificate and delicious sparkling wine. Definitely do it again.

Soaring Surprise!

My husband pulled off the perfect birthday escape! He surprised me with a hot air balloon ride, and it truly lived up to the name.

Everything went smoothly from the start. Parking was easy to find, and the staff were incredibly friendly during check-in. A shuttle took us to the launch site, where we met our pilot and driver, Pete. He was both knowledgeable and friendly, which put us at ease.

The ride itself was breathtaking! We had panoramic views of the stunning scenery below. To make the birthday celebration even more special, my husband had gotten a birthday package. It included a fun photo op inside the balloon with a birthday sign and a delicious "Nothing Bundt Cake" treat waiting for me after we landed back at the launch site. We even had champagne to toast the occasion!

This is an experience I highly recommend. It's something everyone should try at least once. I'm already planning to go again and take my parents for a special gift!

The set up is fast and fun to watch. Afterwords, you get to experience a little toast and celebration with everyone. High recommend!!

We had such a wonderful first-time hot air balloon experience! The views were exceptional, the host was knowledgeable and entertaining, and we were surprised to learn some fun history about hot air balloons during the post-flight celebration. Highly recommend them!

My partner and I had a great time on our first ever hot air balloon flight with pilot Pete! He has 40+ yrs of experience and you could definitely tell- from his very smooth flying (including a 10/10 landing!) to his deep knowledge of balloons and the local area, its landmarks and history. Also, the crew that set up and took down these gigantic balloons were so impressive and efficient. Would recommend sending out the waivers ahead of time for review, kind of a lot to look through at 5 am.

My husband surprised me with a hot air balloon ride from the grape escape for my birthday. This experience was so amazing. We had so much fun. Such a beautiful experience. The whole crew was very friendly and fun. The crew made the experience more enjoyable and if you were nervous they really tried to put you at ease. The crew was very down to earth and tried to make our experience as good as they can by cracking jokes. I 100% recommend. Definitely a great memory to create with your loved one.

I recently booked a private flight with Grape escape for a photoshoot and had the time of my life. Both Rusty and Kyle exceeded my expectations. They did such an amazing job and made each of us feel very comfortable when flying in the balloon. They went above and beyond to ensure the balloon was in the perfect spot for the most photogenic photo possible. They even had to move the balloon several times and did it with a smile on their faces. The photoshoot was far better I anticipated and I credit Grape Escape for doing such an amazing job. I highly recommend booking a flight with them. I wish I could give more than 5 stars for this amazing experience! Would definitely recommend them for anyone looking to fly in a hot air balloon!
