Premium Wineries and Vineyards
When formed in 1994 to serve premium wineries and vineyards, Silicon Valley Bank's first wine industry office stood as the only banking office in the United States dedicated exclusively to the premium wine industry. Today Silicon Valley Bank's Wine Division is the leading provider of financial services to wineries and vineyards in the western United States, with over 300 winery and vineyard clients, and growing, in Napa, Sonoma, the Central Coast of California, Oregon and Washington.
Silicon Valley Bank's premium wine specialists are a unique group — they are experts in the wine industry and understand that the winemaking business is like few others.
