Regional Wine, Beer and Spirits at Root 29

Our region has a distinct love of good wine and brews going all the way back to Thomas Jefferson. Our forefather was serious about fine wine, ensuring he had a glass every day, stating “wine from long habit has become an indispensable for my health.” Today, Charlottesville’s wine-making and brewing cultures are stronger than ever. 

At Root 29, we’re making a name for ourselves by featuring incredible upscale regional comfort food. However, we’re also proud to offer a large selection of signature craft cocktails, regional beers, domestic wine and the best local and national spirits from across Virginia and the U.S.

Craft beer lovers will enjoy our curated selection of local beers from places like Three Notch’d Brewery, LChampion Brewing Company, Basic City Brewery, Devils Backbone Brewing Company and more. Or, harken back to Jefferson’s time by sipping the best regional wine options, including selections from nearby Horton Vineyards.
