Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival
Southern California's most photogenic wine event pairs hot air balloons, country music headliners, and Temecula Valley wine tastings at scenic Lake Skinner over three June days. The evening Balloon Glow — dozens of illuminated balloons reflected in the lake — is genuinely extraordinary. Drawing 35,000-40,000 annually since the 1980s, this is the region's signature summer event.
