Winston transports have a silent property that you can set, which is probably a little nicer than removing the entire transport.

I add a name to the transports to make is a little easier like this:

var logger = new winston.Logger();

logger.add(winston.transports.Console, {
    name: 'console.info',
    colorize: true,
    showLevel: true,
    formatter: consoleFormatter,
})

Then in the test or set-up I can selectively turn logging on and off with:

logger.transports['console.info'].silent = true  // turns off
logger.transports['console.info'].silent = false // logging back on
