FALCON CREST

The historic Falcon Crest main gate with the coat of arms — old walnut trees on either side of the main driveway.
 

The stone bridge leading from the main driveway to the driveway to the Gioberti Estate, the original 50-acre founders vineyard of Falcon Crest.


 
 
Gioberti Estate
 
Western and southern views of the Gioberti House, the original Falcon Crest limestone manor built by Joseph Gioberti.
 

The Gioberti Estate Guest House near the Gioberti House — a limestone pergola is located closely to the Gioberti House on the southeast of the estate.


 
The Gioberti Estate later became part of the Gianinni / Gioberti Winery when Falcon Crest was parcelled off between Angela Gioberti Channing and Chase Gioberti, but was reunited with the bulk of Falcon Crest after Chase's second codicil to his last will and testament became activated.
In 1987, an explosion destroyed the Gioberti House almost completely.
 
 
Victorian Mansion
 

The Falcon Crest Victorian Mansion, a masterpiece of fine architecture, is the new elegant family residence built by Joseph Gioberti. After the 1988 fire catastrophe, it was rebuilt by Angela Gioberti Channing. The Mansion's phone number is (707) 555-7311.

Stone Briar / Gianinni Winery / Gioberti Winery
 
Originally owned by Carl Reed, Stone Briar Winery was later acquired by Sam Gianinni, owner of Gianinni Vineyards, and renamed Gianinni Winery. After Sam's daughter, Connie, and Chase Gioberti had started a partnership by uniting the winery and vineyards with Chase's adjacent Gioberti Estate, the original Falcon Crest founders vineyard, she finally sold her share to Chase. The winery was renamed Gioberti Winery. When the second codicil to Chase's last will and testament became activated, the winery became part of Falcon Crest — which also led to the reunification of the Gioberti Estate with the bulk of Falcon Crest.

The cave of the winery goes into the Mayacamas Mountains behind the building.


 

The Gianinni home — situated on the Stone Briar grounds — is accessible through a separate gated driveway.
