Banshee Wines Tasting Room

Banshee Wines Tasting Room is one of those spots that I never get tired of. It has a cool, modern, fun scene with great wines, mostly Sonoma & Russian River including Pinot Noir, Rose, and Chardonnays. It really is an essential stop in Healdsburg that everyone seems to enjoy. Also they’re now owned by Foley Wines so if you join Banshee Wines you can get access to their other wineries such as another one I adore Chalk Hill also in 325 Center St, Healdsburg, CA 95448

All smiles back to Banshee Wines! Such a charming tasting room with so many amazing culinary experiences: Wine & Cheese, Charcuterie, Chocolate & Wine Pairings. Endless delights!

We were welcomed with the Ten Cups Sparkling wine. Absolute perfection. This is quite a steal at around $30 it tastes like it would be twice that price. Super fresh, great acidity and truly a crowd pleaser.

The Caviar & Wine pairing was probably my favorite. So much that it inspired me to create a Best Caviar & Wine Tastings Guide. Read all about that on the blog here!

Upon arriving we were greeted with the lovely Sparkling Wine, this cheese plate, chocolates and caviar. Talk about a fabulous experience. This was an assortment of the various culinary offerings available at Banshee. I recommend them all truly.

Girls just want to have fun! This was the perfect afternoon tasting for a Friday to jumpstart the weekend.
