Living Roots - Rochester
Rochester's only urban winery, founded by husband and wife team Sebastian [a six-generation winemaker from Adelaide, South Australia] and Colleen [a Rochester, NY native] Hardy. We source grapes from a number of growers, including both of our families, and focus on rich whites and sparklings in the Finger Lakes and vibrant reds in South Australia. Pop in to sip on our minimal input wines, snack on local and Aussie cheeses, or shop for bottles and merch.
