Giracci Vineyards and Farms

Amazing place to have your next wedding or party. Nestled in the mountains of Orange County, Giracci Vineyards is an absolutely beautiful location for any occasion! It feels like you are in the countryside. Very serene and peaceful. Highly Recommend!

We just hosted our daughter's wedding reception at Giracci Vineyards this past July and it was absolutely magical! Our guests keep raving about how it was the most beautiful reception that they have ever attended. Most importantly, our daughter and son-in-law stated it was the wedding of their dreams!

Giracci is located in Silverado in the beautiful foothills of the mountains. It has huge gorgeous mature oak trees (i think that is what they are) which are wrapped in fairy lights. For the venue fee, we were able to pick 2 of their 4 locations to host our reception. All 4 (3 are outdoor and 1 indoor) are spectacular choices. We went with the fountain area that has a raised stage (perfect for the band) for the cocktail reception/dancing and the grassy area with big oak tree next to it for the dinner. These locations are close to one another and also close to the bathrooms for the guests.

Our contact at Giracci was Linda who was so easy to work with from the beginning. The entire process to view and book the venue was easy. We came twice to view the venue before finalizing our decision. We never felt pressured. They provided suggested vendors as well but worked with us in certain areas where we had some preferences. At the final meeting on premises with the various vendors, it was evident that Linda was very knowledgable on all aspects and worked well with our vendors. She had great suggestions and ideas for how to keep the budget in line.

If you plan on serving wine at your event, all wine must be purchased from Giracci. Our family are big wine drinkers and have our preferences. While at first we were a little skeptical, let me assure you their wines are WONDERFUL! Seriously, there wasn't a dud in their offerings. In fact, we are now Giracci wine club members which I highly recommend.

The time of year we chose for the reception was perfect. The flowers at Giracci were in full bloom and just stunning. The venue is so beautiful that we really didn't have to kill the budget with additional decor other than flowers/votives for all the tables and 3 crystal chandeliers with some white draping in the big oak tree where dinner was served. At the time of this review, we don't have the pictures back from the photographer or I would attach them.

Everything ran smoothly throughout the evening. I can't stress enough how thrilled we are that we chose Giracci Vineyards for our daughter's wedding reception. Weddings are a very expensive investment here in Orange County and we felt that choosing Giracci Vineyards was perfect choice. My only regret is that it all went by too fast!

More than a winery I would call this place a WAITery It took nearly 50 minutes to bring a pesto focaccia to the table admittedly it was good. The wine at $16 for a small glass was horrible.
All the access roads and the parking areas are covered in dust and due to a gentle breeze so were we. A really to forget experience.

Very relax

I was returning with a group. We were denied service unless we paid $50 for a table. Hostess refused to allow us to break up group.

Worst customer service! We had a group of 13 friends who arrived to do some tasting and eat. We were told there was a $50 charge for the privilege of having a table and that the table limit was a strict 10. So for us, that meant 2 $50 tables. And each table needed to guarantee a $250 tab. We didn't think the $250 tab would be difficult, but why the $50 charge? They called it a "celebration" fee. Not kidding. We said we would just sit at some of the 4-top tables to avoid the "celebration" fee. Nope! We were denied! So stupid and short sighted. In the end, we all left and went somewhere else.
Maybe it was crowded and they couldn't accommodate us? NOPE! When we left, there was not one single patron left. Maybe we were too rowdy? NOPE! It was 11am on a Sunday and no one in our group was under 50.
No worries though. We called Brio at Irvine Spectrum and they accommodated us immediately. Read my review of that restaurant. Very positive!

We had had such a good response to our lunch invitation that we were about to have at Giracci, that on the way there, I thought we could have another later in the summer. However, once I arrived, Giracci managed to close the door on that possibility. There were 17 of us,who had showed up for lunch and wine tasting. We had made reservations. However, when we arrived, Giracci decided that there was a $50 table fee per table (no mention of this on their website), and a $250 minimum per table. The latter would not have been a problem. However, as they were not willing to work with us, we left, leaving their patio with absolutely NO guests. Givenr there attitude, it's not surprising they didn't have any other guests. In sum, Giracci turned away about $800 worth of business, managed to piss off 17 customers, some of whom had never been to Giracci before, destroyed any possibility of our holding another event there, and, as I was going to talk to them about an end of year event, the possibility of having our event there. Dumbest management decision ever! Fortunately, our group went somewhere else, where we had a wonderful lunch and wine, and where we were made to feel welcome. Giracci used to be a good place to go and have a pleasant afternoon, however, their management has become a disaster, and they are difficult to work with. Avoid them or be disappointed!

Scheduled a reservation weeks ago for a wine tasting on 2/11. Got a call not even 24hrs before that were cancelling it because of the SuperBowl. No apology or resolution was offered. Really disappointing since it ruined our Valentines plans. Not sure why they did not give us more notice.

I love this place. Great wine and a beautiful location

Hailey and Christian were very nice ! Super cute vineyard recommend the wine tasting

This place has potential, but it needs a bit of an upgrade. It has a nice rustic farm feel but it’s a bit confusing when you get there.The wines are flat out terrible. I tried the standard wine flight that included the Moscat, the Chardonnay, the Rose’, the Merlot and one other. The wines are made by sourcing grapes from other places, nothing is grown on site.I have been a wine drinker for the better part of my adult life and have had wines from all over CA, WA, Italy and France. The wines here were the worst I have ever tasted. I should have noticed that no one leaving was carrying bottles with them.This would be a great place for weddings and other events, but wine… No

Hailey and Christian were very nice ! Super cute vineyard recommend the wine tasting

Haily & Christian were the best host ! I l loved them

We spent a beautiful afternoon on the outside patio enjoying the gorgeous grounds, delicious food and welcoming staff. Had the burger with a fried egg. Cesar salad and the flatbread pizza. Sparkling wine was perfect compliment to the meal. Looking forward to coming back.
