Events at Bannister
Friends, please make sure you’re subscribed to our mailing list so we can send you event invitations. Throughout the year we throw art and wine parties at the historic Geyserville Vault building near Healdsburg, California. We feature exceptional artists and bring in unique foods to pair with our lineup of wines that can’t be found anywhere else.
Savor the exceptional taste of our wines while appreciating the beauty of art, all in the heart of Northern Sonoma County.
Live Session tonight with @therealjohncourage at Banister Wines, 5-8 PM 🎶
Spinning from the vault today: Led Zeppelin (1969) 🎸
Produced by Jimmy Page and released on Atlantic Records, it features “Good Times Bad Times,” “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You,” “Dazed and Confused,” and “Communication Breakdown.”
Led Zeppelin is one of the artists who inspires tonight’s performer, John Courage. In his words: “electric guitar riffs, and great songs underneath epic arrangements.”
Come hear the record,enjoy some wine & empanadas. Then catch John live. Hope to see you! 🍷🎶

Live Music by @therealjohncourage
5PM to 8PM
🎶 Today in the tasting room: Muddy Waters on the turntable 🎶
Tastings with Cat are open 2 to 6:30 PM with the records spinning.
6:30 we switch over to live music with the Aki Kumar Duo until 9PM. We will have wine by the glass and bottle service.
We’re getting in the mood for tonight’s show with one of the artists who inspired Aki’s sound. Here’s what Aki says about Muddy:
“Muddy Waters is the godfather of the electric blues sound and represents the transition point where the blues migrated from the soulful sounds of the Mississippi Delta to the fierce electric sounds of Chicago Blues. Everything about his music, from its lyricism to tonality to his phrasing is deeply appealing to me. He also employed some of the very best blues musicians of his era as his sidemen including Little Walter, the GOAT of the blues harmonica.”
🎧 We have two Muddy Waters records for sale in the tasting room, so grab one while you’re here. @ledrarecords
