The Balloon and Wine Festival has been a Southern California staple since its inception in 1984. Nestled at the scenic Lake Skinner Recreation Area in Winchester, CA 92596, the festival blends breathtaking hot-air balloon launches from sunrise to sunset with three days of live country and rock music, extensive wine tastings, food and beverage options, and a vibrant vendor village. After pandemic-related interruptions, the festival resumed in 2022 and celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2024, continuing to grow in attendance and scope each year.
