Client Overview:
Bannister Wines is a family-owned winery in Geyserville, California. More than a traditional tasting room, Bannister is a creative space where wine, art, and music intersect. The atmosphere is relaxed, expressive, and deeply rooted in Sonoma County’s culture.

Challenge:
Because Bannister is experience-driven, it was important that their digital presence reflect the personality of the space. They needed high-quality visual content that captured not just the wine, but the feeling of being there. The goal was to create a consistent stream of photography and video that could support social media, event promotion, and overall brand storytelling.

Solution:

Studio Maya worked closely with Bannister Wines to document and elevate their brand through intentional content creation.

• Photography:
  We created a library of high-resolution images capturing the tasting room, bottle details, artwork, vineyard moments, and candid guest experiences. The focus was on warmth, texture, and authenticity.
• Videography:
  We produced short-form and long-form video content highlighting live music nights, the winemaking story, and behind-the-scenes moments. These videos were optimized for social media and marketing use, bringing movement and personality to the brand.
• Drone Content:
  To showcase the setting and sense of place, we captured aerial footage of the property and surrounding Geyserville landscape. The drone content adds scale, context, and a strong visual introduction to the Bannister experience, especially for first-time visitors discovering the winery online.
• Social Media Content Creation:
  We developed consistent, on-brand content that highlights upcoming events, new releases, artist features, and the overall atmosphere of Bannister. Content was planned, captured, and edited to maintain a cohesive look across platforms.
• Event Coverage:
  From live music night, art exhibits, or special gatherings, we provided on-site coverage that allowed Bannister to extend the life of each event beyond the evening itself. The content captured the connection between guests, wine, art, and music.

Results:
Bannister Wines now has a well-developed, organized content library designed to consistently attract and engage new audiences. With professional photography, video, and drone footage, the brand can actively promote the tasting room experience across social media and digital platforms.

The content highlights not just the wine, but the atmosphere, live music, art, and sense of community that make Bannister unique. By showcasing the full experience online, the winery is better positioned to generate interest, increase event awareness, and drive more visitors to the tasting room in Geyserville.
