Nestled in the heart of downtown Harrisonburg on Liberty Street, Rootstock is more than just a wine bar—it's an experience crafted with passion and a love for the vine. Founded by Lee Hartman, a seasoned winemaker with a deep-rooted connection to the Shenandoah Valley, Rootstock opened its doors on December 13th, with a grand celebration on December 15th.

At Rootstock, we offer a curated selection of wines from across the globe, including a special selection from Bluestone Vineyard in Bridgewater, where Lee Hartman and his family work their magic. With over 50 bottles lining our walls, wines on draft, and even canned options, there's something for every palate to explore and enjoy.

But Rootstock isn't just about the wine—it's about the experience. We're proud to host a variety of events, from in-store tastings to our signature "Wine Amongst Friends" series, where wine enthusiasts can connect with winemakers and savor unique blends in a relaxed setting.

For Lee Hartman, Rootstock is the culmination of a dream years in the making. With a vision to bring the world of wine to downtown Harrisonburg, Rootstock is not just a wine bar, but a welcoming space where everyone can feel at home. Our goal is simple: to make the world of wine accessible, approachable, and, above all, fun. So come join us at Rootstock, where every cork popped is an invitation to embark on a journey of flavor, discovery, and camaraderie. Cheers!
