The Band
Britt, Evyn, and Des are crafting more than just wine—they’re shaping a movement. With a shared vision and a deep respect for Napa Valley’s rich winemaking legacy, they set out to create wines that are as meaningful as they are exceptional.
For them, winemaking isn’t just about what’s in the glass—it’s about honoring the land, uplifting the community, and championing the next generation of vintners. Every bottle of Band of Vintners wine reflects their commitment to sustainability, collaboration, and the belief that great wine should be accessible, uncompromising in quality, and deeply rooted in a sense of place.
With a hands-on approach and an unshakable passion for their craft, they blend tradition with fresh perspective—continuing Napa’s story while making it their own.
