About
Black Hand Cellars is a boutique, family-owned winery in Paso Robles, CA, started by Thomas C. and Terrie A. Banish after a honeymoon trip inspired their shift from the fishery business to winemaking. They began making wine in a bathtub with strawberries and progressed through classes and awards to produce quality wines from Torie Ranch Vineyard. Tastings are available by appointment only.
