About

Bannister Wines is a small-production winery continuing the legacy of the owner's mother, producing traditional wines like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Zinfandel alongside rare varietals such as Scheurebe, Sagrantino, skin-fermented Riesling, and Ribolla Gialla. Their tasting room, art gallery, and private event space is uniquely housed in a restored 115-year-old historic bank vault in Geyserville, CA, featuring handmade furniture and design. They focus on delicious, structure-driven wines from cool-climate vineyards, welcoming all styles without segregation.
