Living Roots is a winery in both the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York and the Adelaide Hills region of South Australia. Our Aussie family has made wine for six generations, and we’re following in their footsteps making styles we love to drink, with varietal and regional expression, minimal inputs and maximum quality. In the Finger Lakes, our focus is on rich whites and sparklings, and in South Australia, it’s vibrant reds. Visit us in Rochester or Hammondsport for flights, glasses, local beers and snacks.
