We really enjoyed our stop at Living Roots (Urban Winery). Nestled in an area with some restaurants and local breweries, this was our favorite stop during our trip. The architecture of the building is cool, the staff was excellent and the wines we had were great (Nero)!The do not have a full menu, but did offer snacks. The popcorn and chips were both good. The bread was top notch and worth the trip alone lol!The layout is inviting we an "L" shaped bar area and plenty of tables. We also noticed a small private room they must have available for special events too. We did like the vibe and would definitely stop again when we are back in the area!HINT:Note that you do need a code to the door for the bathroom which was spacious and very clean.

FANTASTIC Private Wine Tasting!!! We had so much fun. Of course, the wines were great and our host, Shomari, was fabulous! So knowledgeable and funny. HIGHLY recommend you grab a group of friends and schedule a tasting!

Love this place, they have an amazing vegan charcuterie board with locally made vegan cheeses and meats. The wine is great too. 10/10 would recommend. It also has a great vibe and ambiance #Veganuary

Finally made it in to try some of these wines, and I'm glad we did! The interior is absolutely gorgeous, spacious with lots of tables with a generous space between them. In addition to what turned out to be very good wines (!), they have a small food menu and other beverages. We took our server's advice and got a snack, the "small" charcuterie which turned out to be more than enough for two. We will definitely be back, that we were walk-ins. You can also reserve a table- highly recommended on a weekend!

All around the perfect wine bar-style tasting room experience. Unpretentious, reasonably priced, and delicious. As a visitor, a flight was the way to go - but if I lived locally, I could easily see this being my weekly stop for my favorite glass.

I am a little conflicted because we have been to Living Roots a few times now. First 2 we loved it! Fantastic bar with luxurious seats, great service and delicious wine. Most recently we arrived at 9:25 after seeing a show. When the bartender asked what we would like we said we were debating between a bottle or flight. Her response was whatever we order it will be our last order since it was the last call in 5 minutes (9:30). We should have left but we didn't. The place was really busy and we thought we probably had until 10 to enjoy ourselves. We were made to feel rushed the entire time like we needed to chug the bottle of wine we had ordered. Between forcing a pour or 'bagging' our bottle, interrupting to close our tab, etc. It was just uncomfortable. Meanwhile there were tables still full around us. I don't mind if they want to close so early but the hostess or bartender should have warned us - 'we close sharply at 10' - 'your bottle must be empty by 9:30' - 'you may not have enough time'.... Instead we felt like a bother in a place we thought we loved. We did find another place to enjoy the rest of our date night so all was not lost.

SO CUTE!! the ambiance is great for meeting friends or a date. They have wine flights and the charcuterie plate was a really nice compliment to the wine!

I love the keuka location and wanted to try this location while in Rochester. The staff, venue, decor and wines do not disappoint. With the well known white wines of the flx region paired alongside great food and reds from Australia, this truly is one stop that everyone in your group will enjoy.

Living Roots has a great wine selection and excellent charcuterie to compliment it. A beautiful atmosphere and great service!
Love their wines, cool space, welcoming staff.. a little pricey, but worth it.

The bartenders are very nice and engaged with us . the cheese board was delious and of course the wine too!

Great space serving wines sourced from both local finger lakes grapes as well as Australian grapes. Was able to walk in with a party of 10 late on a Friday luckily!

Expensive but it's great for a night out! We always get wine flights, cheese board, and chocolate!

A gem in Rochester. A great place to catch up with friends and try local wines as well as those from Australia. The charcuterie board is so tasty and all the locally sourced items are a bonus. Bright windows and fun tables add to the ambiance. The servers are great and really know their stuff!
