A restored 1901 bank vault in downtown Geyserville — teller cages and all — where winemaker Brook Bannister and his artist wife pour the family's elegant Sonoma Coast Pinot and Chardonnay alongside rare bottlings like orange Riesling and Sagrantino, amid a rotating art gallery and handmade design.

Bannister fills the Geyserville Vault — a 1901 bank, antique teller cages and steel safe intact — restored by winemaker Brook Bannister and his artist wife, Morgania, into a tasting room and rotating art gallery. The label was founded in 1989 by his mother, enologist Marty Bannister; Brook took the reins in 2016, bringing his own restless curiosity.

Tasting Highlights

Six-to-Seven Pour Flight — small-production, single-vineyard wines and rare varietals, from estate Pinot and Chardonnay to skin-fermented whites, poured by the glass or in flights.

The wines run from the family's longtime Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Brook's experiments — skin-fermented Riesling and Ribolla Gialla, Scheurebe, Sagrantino — single-vineyard and made in tiny lots, poured by the glass or in flights of six to seven small tastes. Settle in among the handmade furniture, order a pizza from Diavola next door, and stay a while. Open Thursday through Sunday.
