    What a fun vibe - casual with class. The vineyard view is amazing- caught it at sunset (one of my favorite winery photos this year) included below. Ordered a bottle of rosé for the table and had a relaxed experience. Love their vinyl collection- had a good time sorting thru it and selecting music for the record player that is hooked up to speakers for everyone to enjoy. I went with princes - purple rain. Definitely a spot I'll return to, want to try their tasting next time. Service was attentive and friendly.

    What a great spot! We came in as a walk in later in the day and got a bottle of rose to share for the table. The staff were personable, inviting, and friendly. The property is beautiful and the inside decor was cute. Bonus points they have a record player and you can put on music to your liking, all types of genres, prince to nwa! We will definitely be back for a traditional tasting!

    beautiful setting and awesome host made for a fantastic tasting experience. Great wines certainly didn't hurt. Definitely recommend this winery

    A hip tasting room in downtown Healdsburg that stays open late. I've been a few times for tastings - enjoy their Pinot and Rosé and Mordecai red blend (an easy, everyday wine), and their moderate price points. Also love their interior design: green wall, neon sign, hand chair... Most recently was on the hunt for a magnum bottle for a gift (prior to my other magnum findings). Many tasting rooms in town do not sell magnums, but Banshee does. Score! Gift secured...and gift appreciated! If you're visiting Healdsburg for wine tasting and want to stay in downtown, Banshee is a great stop! Cheers!

    Had a lovely tasting experience here on New Year's Eve. This is a very hip tasting room - neon signs, couch and bench seating, high ceilings, and popular music playing on the record player. You can even choose the next record, like a jukebox. Though they were busy, they made a room for us at their large wood center table. We worked our way through most of the tasting menu, and really enjoyed each of the wines we got. That included a bubbly, a Pinot Noir, and two really delicious Chardonnays. I may be forgetting one or two... You know how it is after wine tasting. I got a bottle to go. Service was great. They were knowledgeable about the wines and checked in on us often. They provided sparkling water for our designated drivers, and also snapped a family photo for us.

    Another little gem in the heart of wine country. Finishing off on our last tasting, we ended up at this cool tasting room. Right in the heart of Healdsburg and another one of our members perks. Compared to the others wineries we visited earlier, this was a tasting room instead of a winery. Location was great, right in the heart of the town where there plenty of other tasting rooms, boutique shops, restaurants, and so on. There's plenty to do as well. But this place is quite cool. The tasting room isn't big but cozy enough. Cool vintage modern vibe that's oh so chic. They had tables set up outside for tasting. We had Michael who took very good care of us. Knowledgeable in his skills and very cool and fun. Great service and we had such an amazing time.

    Part of the Foley wine club... I am impressed by the ambience and display of this quaint little wine tasting shop in Healdsburg. We warmed up to the rose-90 points, enjoyed the first Chardonnay from morning, light, and ended with a superb Cabernet Sauvignon. Check out our pics...took home the Rose! Love "El Pino Club" sign Banshee Wines 1st stop 12pm 12/28/22

    Amazing wine, ambiance and service. We had Lauren helping us and she was amazing. Brought us an excellent selection of wine, was great with her descriptions and knowledge of the wines, and Banshee has such a nice ambiance with good music, we'll definitely be back. We also brought our three week old baby and Lauren was lovely and extremely accommodating. 10/10 recommend

    I have been a wine club member at Banshee for a couple of years - love their $20 Sauvignon Blanc, it's my go to wine when I am alone and want something really easy, it's such a well priced wine. Also enjoyed several of their Pinots through their wine club. Always a treat when I get to visit their Healdsburg tasting room.

    We were actually on our way to another tasting room and saw this place on the way. We were made to feel so welcome and the vibe was so gun, we had such a blast. Our tasting guide was Mike, and we all decided we would be happy to just to hear him read the phonebook. The wine was outstanding and the tarts were to die for. We laughed so much and are so glad we detoured to this gem!

What made the situation even more frustrating was that there were several empty tables visible throughout the restaurant, yet we were repeatedly told the restaurant was fully booked. After waiting nearly two hours and spending money at the bar, we felt misled, dismissed, and unwelcome. We have always enjoyed 107, but this experience left a very disappointing first impression. We hope management looks into this matter and improves communication and hospitality at the host stand.

We knew immediately this was going to be a special night. We went all in with the chef's prix fixe menu, and it delivered from the very first bite. Warm, homemade dinner rolls -- fragrant with thyme, garlic, and chili flakes, served alongside pillowy whipped butter -- set the tone perfectly. We loved them so much we asked for a second basket without a moment's hesitation. The Sonoma County Organic Salad that followed was nothing short of a revelation: crisp Little Gem lettuce, Pioneer Micro Herbs and edible flowers, beautifully shaved vegetables, whipped fromage blanc, and a Green Goddess dressing that tied it all together with effortless elegance. Perfection is the only word for it. For our entrées, the Petrale Sole Meunière was a masterclass in refined, soulful cooking -- the Costeaux sourdough croutons, potato fondant, haricot verts, and caper beurre noisette working in perfect harmony. And the pork porchetta with nduja? Cooked flawlessly, bold, deeply satisfying, and utterly memorable. We paired the meal with the Valette Rosé of Pinot Noir, which has instantly earned a place among the finest rosés we've ever tasted -- vibrant, nuanced, and a dream with every course. Dessert brought the ItsNotA 'Snickers Bar' and the Almond Frangipane, both executed brilliantly and the ideal sweet finale to an extraordinary meal. Valette isn't just a great restaurant -- it's our new favorite dining destination, full stop. We'll be back, again and again.

I don't usually post reviews but this experience compelled me to do so. We were explicitly told to be patient and that someone would get to us. Nearly 50 minutes later, not a single host or server had checked on us--no update, no acknowledgment, nothing. The winery was not packed: maybe half a dozen groups total, with several empty tables visible. There was simply no excuse for the complete lack of service. At one point, my companion attempted to make eye contact with a female host, only to be blatantly ignored. It was uncomfortable and frankly disrespectful. That said, I do acknowledge that one host eventually reached out to recognize their shortcomings, which I appreciated. I can also honestly say the place itself is lovely and the ambiance is very nice. I've visited wineries extensively--both internationally (Australia and New Zealand) and locally--and I have never experienced hospitality this poor. Wine tasting is as much about service as it is about the wine, and this was a masterclass in how not to treat guests. This review is coming from a place of tough love. The setting has real potential, but the service experience needs serious attention.

Very easy to miss the gate even if following GPS. Don't be afraid to call if you can't find it. Just make sure you have an appointment first. On arrival, Caitlin met us. She only had started 2 weeks prior, but gave us a tour of the vineyard and a little history of the property. From there, we met with Karin, one of the owners, and tasted the Chardonnay. Wow. I rarely drink whites, but this was amazing. And it's built to age as well. Karin said it could age gracefully for 20+ years. We tasted the current release, and one that I think was 2 years older. The other owner, and Karin's husband, Justin, joined us and we then tasted the Tesserae Red Blend. They age the Tesserae wine in barrel and bottle for 7 years. Its 2023 and the current release is the 2015. This is absolutely unique and quite a risk considering potential wildfires. Again the tasting was the current release and another one 2 years older. I love these comparative tasting so you can taste how the wine develops over time. We talked more about their history and their process. They have had a partnership arrangement with the same family for 3 generations to look after the vines. They credit this family for their success. The one thing they uniquely do is pick the fruit at night when its cool. They believe this in integral to the taste of their wines. The wine is only available direct to consumers, mostly allocated through their mailing list. Overall we were there for over 2 hours. I will definitely be back to buy more bottles. The Tesserae is not cheap at $135 a bottle, but its a relative bargain compared the more corporate wineries, particularly those in Napa. Keep in mind, with even those wineries, you're not buying something that has 7 years of bottle life. It was very cool to actually meet the owners and see the passion they have for their craft and their land. I highly recommend a trip to visit Garden Creek Winery.
