Rootstock is your neighborhood wine bar nestled in the heart of downtown Harrisonburg on Liberty Street. Founded with passion by Lee Hartman, a seasoned winemaker deeply connected to the Shenandoah Valley, Rootstock opened its doors in December 2023. From the very beginning, their mission has been to create a space that celebrates wine, community, and culture.
At Rootstock, they pride themselves on offering an exceptional wine experience. Their curated selection spans the globe, featuring everything from domestic gems to international classics. With over 50 bottles to explore, wines on draft, and even canned options, there’s a perfect pour for every palate. Rootstock proudly spotlights wines from Bluestone Vineyard in Bridgewater, where Lee and his family craft some of the region’s finest offerings. Selections of snacks and boards featuring high-quality pantry items, including artisanal pastas, sauces, and a standout array of tinned fish make a perfect pairing with their crafted wines.
