Root & Flower in Vail Village offers a modern take on the wine-bar concept, serving more than 50 vinos by the glass, plus a changing menu of New American bites, specialty cocktails and craft beer. It celebrated its 10-year birthday in 2025 — and it’s locally owned and operated.
You can learn the art of wine making or how to make cocktails from an expert Root & Flower bartender via reservable group classes.
Après at Root & Flower
From the moment you walk in, Root & Flower disproves assumptions like “no good wine bar has good cocktails,” “no good cocktail bar has great wines by the glass” and “no good wine or cocktail bars usually have more than a few snacks.” Come for classics like martinis and old fashioneds and wines that’ll inspire your senses — and come recommended by the on-site sommelier.
You’ll love this après-ski spot, too, because it secretly serves some of the best food in town. Plus, it delivers good vibes and funky beats no matter the season.
