Banshee was created in 2009 by three young bachelors who bonded over their passion for wine. Leasing vineyard plots instead of owning the land, the grape varietals, particularly for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, are picked from all parts of the Sonoma County.
The tasting room embodies today’s San Francisco with the ease of Healdsburg. Vinyl records on an old gramophone and the whole décor ooze comfortably cool.
