Root & Flower
About
Root & Flower is a locally owned wine and cocktail bar on Bridge Street that has been pouring in the heart of Vail Village since 2015. More than 20 wines are open by the glass, and a deeper reserve list can be ordered by the glass or the bottle.
It suits couples, curious wine drinkers and small groups who want a good glass and something to snack on, and it stays open until around midnight, which makes it as useful at the end of a night as at the start.
The wine list
The by-the-glass list is split in two: Roots, the classics the bar loves, and Flowers, the adventurous bottles it wants guests to try, from Muscadet and an orange wine to a non-alcoholic sparkling rosé. A separate rare and iconic list covers the big-occasion bottles, and the cocktail menu mixes classics with the bar's own creations.
Small plates
Food is built for sharing alongside a drink: truffle popcorn, olives with local goat feta, a smoked trout kimchi dip, burrata, deviled eggs that can be topped with Maine lobster or caviar, and a full caviar service with potato chips. A mini hot dog with an optional vodka martini sums up the tone.
Classes
Root & Flower runs hosted tastings for groups: a hands-on cocktail class, wine classes such as The Art of Tasting and Champagne vs. The World, and spirits tastings including Whiskeys of the World. They make a good rest-day or bachelorette activity; prices are in the FAQ below.
Private events and bottles to go
The whole bar can be bought out for up to 40 seated or 60 standing, and a private back room seats up to 16. Through Root & Retail, the bar also sells bottles at retail prices to take home, with a monthly email of new releases.
Before you go
Walk-ins are welcome for any party size, and reservations are taken for groups of five or more. Happy hour starts at opening. Exact times are in the FAQ below.
