What is the
Magic Banana Hour?

An hour-ish of world-class comedy, music, magic and mayhem! Inspired by vintage variety shows — then flipped completely on its head — it's a one-night-only experience you won't find anywhere else in wine country.

Featuring performers from Cirque Du Soleil and Blue Man Group, last year we sold out every seat. This year expect the same big laughs, unexpected beauty and joyful chaos in a show where anything can happen.
