Located just east of the hustle and bustle of central Orange County, Giracci Vineyards & Farms spans 10 acres and offers wine enthusiasts and nature lovers a unique variety of experiences, from contemporary wine tasting to an insider glimpse of the equestrian life style, all in the ambient atmosphere of Santiago Canyon. Chad and Linda Kearns rescued Giracci Vineyards & Farms from disrepair five years ago, knowing right away that they had found a diamond in the rough. After three years of modernizing the facilities while carefully maintaining the structural integrity and historical ambiance that makes the property unique and a great deal of tender loving care, Giracci is finally ready to be enjoyed by everyone. Surrounded by plush, scenic landscaping, the newly-renovated grounds offer an abundance of country elegance, with a dash of history and a touch of rustic charm, creating a tranquil, magical environment for all. Most people believe that Orange County began as an agricultural center, focused around the growth of Oranges‚ but that is only partially true. While Orange County did begin as a center of agriculture, grapes were the origin of the county. Around 1855, a group of German immigrants settled Northern Orange County and quickly turned it into what was then California‚ wine capital! Within just 10 years, there were over 47 wineries and scores of vineyards. Madame Modjeska founded many local vineyards and wineries right in our backyard (the vineyards were prosperous, until the arrival of the glassy winged sharpshooter). Now, with the newfound knowledge of the times, Giracci has taken the Silverado area back to its illustrious roots. Nestled in Santiago Canyon with its dramatic, panoramic view and etched canyons, just east of beautiful Lake Irvine, Giracci offers a full variety of services, including wine tasting, a wine club, a special events venue and a fully equipped, state-of-the-art equestrian boarding and training facility.
