Last years event was held on Saturday, October 17, 2009, when the Chamber hosted our 13th annual Vintage, “Farewell to the Swallows” Celebration. October at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano is a time to celebrate the welcoming of the fall season within the Mission grounds. At 6 p.m. the gates of the Mission opened and welcomed everyone to an unforgettable night. Everyone was greeted in the front Courtyard with a glass of wine and a few appetizers while listening to some beautiful guitar from Tim Johnson and walking through the Silent Auction to view 97 gift baskets that filled the mission arches. As guests came into the beautiful Mission Central Courtyard they would find 30 restaurants, 24 wineries, 2 beer stations, San Pelligrino Water and Peet’s Coffee and Tea, all supplied with their best samplings for everyone to enjoy.
Vicky Carabini, Ambassador to our Sister City Capestrano, Italy completely transformed an entire area into “Little Italy” filled with booths serving everything Italian from authentic Italian breads, olive oils,sausages, and pasta, to wine and even Italian beer! On the stage that evening Carabini and Italian Vice Consolate Roberto Ruocco were presented with a proclamation by the City Council of San Juan Capistrano proclaiming October 2009, as “Italian-American Heritage Month”.
As the sun set and the moon took its position high in the sky, the atmosphere at the Mission completely transformed as the accent purple and green lights highlighted the Mission’s great historic features. Guests made their way to the dance floor where they enjoyed the live music by Grammy Nominated artist Greg Adams and his Band.
It had all the makings of a premier Orange County event: exquisite food, great wine, live music, a silent auction and gaming tables, as well as the one thing only San Juan Capistrano can provide, the historic backdrop of our Jewel, Missions San Juan Capistrano. We are grateful to everyone who made this event possible: the sponsors, committee members, the generous restaurants and wineries, everyone who donated to the silent auction, and all the guests who celebrated our 13th year with us.
